Although few in number, several Tiger tank commanders were highly skilled in combat. The material cost of the Tiger program only allowed for roughly 1,800 to be produced when including all variants (Tiger B, Ferdinand/Elefant, Jagdtiger). The Tiger made its battlefield debut in September of 1942 and immediately proved effective at knocking out virtually any adversary within range.ĭespite its 10:1 kill ratio against Allied tanks, the Tiger E could not stand up to the endless waves of T-34 and M4 Sherman tanks. The name was later changed to Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf E, or Tiger E for short. The winning prototype was designed by Henschel (referred to as the Panzerkampfwagen VI, Tiger I Ausf H) and was ordered into production in July of 1942. A new 50-ton heavy tank was to be produced, armed with an adaptation of the deadly 88mm antiaircraft gun and 100mm of frontal armor. The Panzertruppen found themselves outgunned and facing defeat unless they could be equipped with more powerful weapons.
