Panzerkampfwagen Tiger was the common name of a German heavy tank developed in 1942 and used in World War II. The final official German designation was Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf.E, often shortened to Tiger. Tiger was an outstanding design with a powerful gun and good armour, but it was also too complicated and therefore difficult to produce.
Gun: 8.8 cm KwK 36 L/56. Max armor: 120 mm. Production: 1347 tanks.
