The 4-inch Mega Gear Bronze Tiger is the perfect addition to your action figure collection. From a technical point of view it was superior to its contemporaries, [41] and despite the low number produced, shortages in qualified crew and the considerable fuel requirement in a context of ever shrinking resources, Tiger had a large impact in the war with Tigers including Tiger IIs destroying at least 10, enemy tanks, and 11, AT guns and artillery pieces in WW2. This was achieved for the loss of 1, Tigers including large numbers of operational and strategic losses, i. Production of the Tiger I began in August at the factory of Henschel und Sohn in Kassel , [43] initially at a rate of 25 per month and peaking in April at per month. An official document of the time stated that the first Tiger I was completed in August 4. Deployed Tiger I's peaked at on 1 July In , Japan bought several specimens of German designs for study. Many modifications were introduced during the production run to improve automotive performance, firepower and protection. Simplification of the design was implemented, along with cuts due to raw material shortages. In alone, at least six revisions were made, starting with the removal of the Vorpanzer frontal armour shield from the pre-production models in April. In May, mudguards bolted onto the side of the pre-production run were added, while removable mudguards saw full incorporation in September. Smoke discharge canisters, three on each side of the turret, were added in August In later years, similar changes and updates were added, such as the addition of a non-magnetic anti-mine coating , in late The humorous and somewhat racy crew manual, the Tigerfibel , was the first of its kind for the German Army and its success resulted in more unorthodox manuals that attempted to emulate its style. By September at the latest, the Allies had information about the production of the Tiger tank. The resistance group around the later executed priest Heinrich Maier sent corresponding documents to the American Office of Strategic Services. With the location sketches of the manufacturing facilities, the Allied bombers were given precise air strikes. Among other variants of the Tiger, a citadel, heavily armoured self-propelled rocket projector, today commonly known as the , was built. In Italy, a demolition carrier version of the Tiger I without a main gun was built by maintenance crews in an effort to find a way to clear minefields. It is often misidentified as a BergeTiger recovery vehicle. As many as three may have been built. It carried a demolition charge on a small crane on the turret in place of the main gun. It was to move up to a minefield and drop the charge, back away, and then set the charge off to clear the minefield. There is no verification of any being used in combat. These tanks were Tigers with modified engines to run on either compressed Towngas gas Stadtgas System or wood gas Holzgas System. This was due to shortages in fuel supply. They used a mixture of turreted and turretless hulls. They were used to train Tiger tank crews. They were not used in combat. E, which was the official designation until the end of the war. Soviet ground trial testing conducted in May determined that the 8. A hit to the driver's hatch would force it to collapse inwards and break apart. When engaging targets, Tiger crews were encouraged to angle the hull to the or clock position 45 degrees relative to the target, an orientation referred to as the Mahlzeit Stellung. The tank was also immune to Soviet anti- tank rifle fire to the sides and rear. Its large calibre 8. Therefore, comparing the Tiger with the Panther, for supporting the infantry and destroying fortifications, the Tiger offered superior firepower. It was also key to dealing with towed anti-tank guns, according to German tank commander :. The destruction of an antitank gun was often accepted as nothing special by lay people and soldiers from other branches. Only the destruction of other tanks counted as a success. On the other hand, antitank guns counted twice as much to the experienced tanker. They were much more dangerous to us. The antitank cannon waited in ambush, well camouflaged, and magnificently set up in the terrain. Because of that, it was very difficult to identify. It was also very difficult to hit because of its low height. Usually, we didn't make out the antitank guns until they had fired the first shot. We were often hit right away, if the antitank crew was on top of things, because we had run into a wall of antitank guns. It was then advisable to keep as cool as possible and take care of the enemy, before the second aimed shot was fired. Eager to make use of the powerful new weapon, Hitler ordered the vehicle be pressed into service months earlier than had been planned. Many of these early models were plagued by problems with the transmission, which had difficulty handling the great weight of the vehicle if pushed too hard. It took time for drivers to learn how to avoid overtaxing the engine and transmission, and many broke down. The most significant event from this engagement was that one of the Tigers became stuck in swampy ground and had to be abandoned. Captured largely intact, it enabled the Soviets to study the design and prepare countermeasures. The rd Heavy Panzer Battalion was deployed to the Don Front in the autumn of , but arrived too late to participate in Operation Winter Storm , the attempt to relieve Stalingrad. It was subsequently engaged in heavy defensive fighting in the Rostov-on-Don and adjacent sectors in January and February The Tigers were hit by a number of tanks firing at a range of 80 to metres. Two of the Lees were knocked out in this action. The Tiger tanks proved that they had excellent protection from enemy fire; this greatly increased the crew's trust in the quality of the armour. In July , two battalions rd and th took part in Operation Citadel resulting in the with one battalion each on the northern th and southern rd flanks of the Kursk salient the operation was designed to encircle. However, the operation failed and the Germans were again put on the defensive. The resulting withdrawal led to the loss of many broken-down Tigers which were left unrecovered, battalions unable to do required maintenance or repairs. On 11 April , a Tiger I destroyed three tanks and an armoured car advancing on a road. The tank's weight significantly limited its use of bridges. For this reason, the Tiger was built with water tight hatches and a snorkel device that allowed it to ford water obstacles four metres deep. The tank's weight also made driving through buildings risky, as the presence of a cellar could result in a sudden drop. Another weakness was the slow traverse of the hydraulically operated turret. Due to reliability problems with the HL TRM P45, which was delivered within the first production batch of Tigers, performance for its maximum power output at high gear ratio could not be fulfilled. The engine limitation was alleviated only by the adoption of the Maybach HL This was not recommended for normal operation, and was discouraged in training. Thus, despite the Tiger being nearly twice as heavy, its speed was comparatively respectable. Nobody expected this. Tiger I tanks needed a high degree of support. It required two or sometimes three of the standard German Sd. Tiger crews often resorted to using another Tiger to tow the damaged vehicle, but this was not recommended as it often caused overheating and engine breakdown. The low-mounted sprocket limited the obstacle clearance height. The tracks also had a tendency to override the rear sprocket, resulting in immobilisation. If a track overrode and jammed, two Tigers were normally needed to tow the tank. The jammed track was also a big problem itself, since due to high tension, it was often impossible to split the track by removing the track pins. The track sometimes had to be blown apart with a small explosive charge. Tigers were usually employed in separate heavy tank battalions schwere Panzer-Abteilung under army command. These battalions would be deployed to critical sectors, either for breakthrough operations or, more typically, counter-attacks. The Tiger was originally designed to be an offensive breakthrough weapon, but by the time it went into action, the military situation had changed dramatically, and its main use was on the defensive, as a mobile anti-tank and infantry gun support weapon. As a result, there are almost no instances where a Tiger battalion went into combat at anything close to full strength. Against the Soviet and Western Allied production numbers, even a kill ratio was not sufficient. These numbers must be set against the opportunity cost of the expensive Tiger. The British had observed the gradual increase in German AFV armour and firepower since and had anticipated the need for more powerful anti-tank guns. Work on the Efforts were hastened to get cruiser tanks armed with pounder guns into operation. The , armed with the pounder, was a notable success even though it was only intended to be a stopgap design. Fireflies were successfully used against Tigers; in one engagement, a single Firefly destroyed three Tigers in 12 minutes with five rounds. In the British introduced an APDS round for the pounder, which increased penetration performance considerably. A small number of Ts were again fitted with a tank version of the ZiS-2, the ZiS-4, but it could not fire an adequate high-explosive round, making it an unsuitable . Firing trials of the new 85 mm D-5T also had proved disappointing. There was a short production run of KV tanks, which were sent to the front beginning in September with production ending by December It also matched the firepower of the heavier IS tank in a more cost effective package resulting in a repetition of the events which heralded the decline of KV-1 production. The SU was intended to be a close-support gun for use against German fortifications rather than armour; however, it shared among the later fielded ISU, the nickname Zveroboy "beast killer" , for its rare ability to knock out German heavy tanks. Its high-explosive rounds were powerful enough to cause significant damage to a tank, occasionally ripping the turret off outright. However, the size and weight of the ammunition meant both vehicles had a low rate of fire, and each could carry only 20 rounds. On 21 April , a Tiger I of the th German heavy tank battalion , with turret number , was captured on a hill called Djebel Djaffa in . A 6-pounder solid shot from a Churchill tank of the British 48th Royal Tank Regiment hit the Tiger's gun barrel and ricocheted into its turret ring, jamming its traverse and wounding the commander. The crew bailed out and the tank was captured. In June , the tank was removed from display at the museum and work began on its restoration. This was carried out both by the museum and the Army Base Repair Organisation and involved an almost complete disassembly of the tank. Customer's comments and images We have no postings yet.

Forward was an open crew compartment, with the driver and radio-operator seated at the front on either side of the gearbox. Behind them the turret floor was surrounded by panels forming a continuous level surface. This helped the loader to retrieve the ammunition, which was mostly stowed above the tracks. Three men were seated in the turret; the loader to the right of the gun facing to the rear, the gunner to the left of the gun, and the commander behind him. There was also a folding seat on the right for the loader. Early versions of the Tiger I's turret included two pistol ports ; however, one of these was replaced with a loader escape hatch and the other deleted from later designs. Post-war testing by the Allies found the tank to be uncomfortable and spartan. This was in contrast to German crews who found them to be spacious and comfortable. The main problem with the Tiger was that its production required considerable resources in terms of manpower and material, which led to it being expensive: the Tiger I cost over twice as much as a Panzer IV and four times as much as a StuG III .
