About the Tiger I Tank
At the time of its introduction in 1942, the German Tiger I was the most powerful and sophisticated tank in the world, and is still considered a weaponry masterpiece of that era. Equipped with the awesome 88mm main gun and protected with 100mm thick armor plate in front, the German Tiger I was rightly feared and respected by the Allied armies. Later versions of the Tiger I went into production in January 1944, and featured slight improvements over earlier models. Engine power was upgraded and rubber rimmed roadwheels were replaced with new wheels that ran on steel rims. Changes were made to the turret including a commander’s cupola with seven vision ports, an anti-aircraft machine gun ring and a loader’s hatch with periscope. The Tiger I first saw action against the Soviets near Leningrad, and went on to serve with distinction on the Eastern, Western and African fronts.
