Tiger I German Army SpxAbt 502 Russia 1942
<p>Arguably the most famous tank in the history of warfare, the mighty German Tiger was a fearsome weapon, capable of destroying most Allied tanks at ranges far in excess of those where they could effectively return fire.<br><br>Utilising the powerful 88mm tank gun and exceptional sighting optics, the Tiger took a heavy toll of Allied armour following its combat introduction on the Eastern Front in 1942, but these beasts were over-engineered and expensive to produce, resulting in only 1,347 tanks eventually being produced. Despite these relatively small numbers seeing combat, the Tiger tank created a battlefield legacy which endures to this day.</p>
