Includes BONUS In Game Content for World of Tanks
The final official German designation for the tank was Panzerkampfwagen VI
Tiger Ausf.E, often shortened to just “Tiger I”. The Tiger's development
was started in 1937 by the company, Henschel. Mass production began in
1942 with a total of 1347 vehicles being manufactured over its production run.
The initial model used suspension similar to that of the Panther. The hull
extended over the tracks to accommodate the wide-ringed turret which could mount
the infamous 8,8cm Kw.K 36 L/56. The Tiger first saw combat in the fighting
for Leningrad and soon found itself featured in the majority of German armoured
engagements. Even though production was discontinued in the summer of 1944, the
Tiger I continued to see action until the end of the war. It was the first
German heavy tank in WWII and soon proved itself to be extremely formidable
against Allied and Soviet units which mostly consisted of Sherman tanks and
T-34s at the time.
