About Sd.Kfz.181 Tiger:
The Tiger I was a heavy tank with a powerful 88mm gun that caused tremendous damage on the battlefield. It had a reliable Maybach engine with 650 horsepower and could reach speeds of up to 45 km/h on the road. Thanks to its heavy armour, it was able to withstand many hits and was equipped with a 7.92 mm machine gun. The Tiger I was deployed on all fronts during World War II and was very effective against Allied tanks. However, its large and heavy armour meant it was difficult to manufacture and maintain, resulting in a limited number of units produced. The crew consisted of five members, and after the war the Tiger I was used as a test tank by some countries. Today, these tanks are highly prized by collectors and often displayed in museums around the world.
