The secret to win the war on the Eastern Front was not to build a few superior tanks but to build a very good tank in huge numbers. Rule number two- build all one type so they could be cannibalised on the battlefield and not have to be towed to workshops to a far location. The Russians grasped both these two rules whereas the Germans did not have a clue.

So many butt hurt people in the comments

They broke down too often.

The US never made a larger tank because of logistics. It was the largest footprint they could load on rail and ships........

A new tank would not have won the war for Germany. They lost because of strategic mismanagement on nearly every level. Some tanks preformed incredibly at their intended roles, but not much else. While some weren't super impressive in any single area, but were perfectly capable at doing a wife variety of roles..... Tldr: What criteria are you asking me to use as my metric?

I agree with most of the comments here its ridiculous that one weapon system can turn tide in a war. If coombined with all the other weapon systems they were developing earlier maybe yes but not on its own. The Germans should have just concentrated on the Panzer III to Panther tanks with variations. Sadly i think we are all falling into the same trap with tank development now as seen in the Ukraine war.

When one stands next to a Tiger Tank be it either model you feel a sense of power mixed with fear they were and still are magnificent machines.

Tanks can’t stop 500 lb bombs

9:43 "As many as 92 rounds of ammunition for the 82mm gun..." I think you missed a fact check on the edit in there somewhere. Seems like a typo in script used for the reader program? It is definitely read correctly elsewhere in the presentation.

Germany engineering genius

The tiger tank had far too many mechanical problems. It was basically it's own worst enemy. It did have a good main gun, and armor. The engine and transmission were very unreliable.

Najveći Problemi su bili što su se Pogrešni "Ljudi" pitali i Bitke vodili kako je njima bilo u glavi !! Droga učinila svoje !!

Yeppp, almost. IS-2, Pershing were screaming like a little girls

This channel used to be absolutely amazing…now, sooo many factual errors, it’s like a bad wiki page…

Wrong, as early as 1 July 1941 German soldiers coined the term "tank fright"...german soldiers were TERRIFIED of the Russian T-34 and to a lesser extent the KV-1.

Wrong, they were never even close, 1500/2000 vs over 10,000 to start and around 30,000 a year or so in. Cup-pled with the poor fuel mileage and lackluster reliability they never had a chance. You should pick your topics more carefully

The tiger tank is the most feard tank of all time you must remember Fran's star dagger was in charge of this tiger tank he destroyed 50 t-34s in one day they were no match for the tiger tank did the tiger 2 get destroy a is-2 so easy the Germans had better tanks than everybody Panthers and the panzers let us not forget the Moss it's an awesome thing the drug 3 is number one on the top 10 list for being a tank killer not even the Abrams M3 can even come close to the strug 3 German still make the best tank for leopard 72-a look up the history history will tell you the Germans have way better tanks but they lost the war with the sheer number of Sherman tanks and Russian tanks but the Germans didn't have enough metal to build tanks if they had the metal to build tanks we would have lost the war and so would have the Russians I'm sorry I must correct myself I made an error the Jag panther is the number one tank killer of all time on the top 10 list even today no one could match the Jag panther it had a pack 43 Canon it was one of the most devastating cannons back in world war II

Als je zulke kleine bedragen in een VWCE kun je beter niet maandelijks beleggen omdat het verdwijnt in kosten.. je moet ook onderzoek doen naar de top 10 bedrijven in de ETF omdat die het zwaarst wegen, beleg in een goede goedkope ETF.. verder zou ik TDIV niet aanraden. En de rekenmachine die jij gebruikt klopt niet want je vergeet inflatie mee te rekenen. Verder goede video 🎉!

You totally are miss the point, who won? Your not see the big picture a weapon’s support system is part of the weapon not to mention more as many German tank simply broke down or got stuck due to the horrible engines. They all had the same under powered V8. Never were/ are good with the motor thing! Lol

hard to believe that they started the war with a outdated tank

Insufficient numbers and an underpowered engine flawed the promising German tank...

tanks don t win wars first of all and stop spreading this much misinformation first of all the tiger has a lot of problems making it Rarely reach the battle field and the soviet 57mm high velocity gun could penetrate the front of the tigers armor with ease and the 76mm could also penetrate the tiger from the side and the is 2 was built to engage fortifications not tanks and it used a 122mm not a 100mm cannon the 100mm was used on the su 100 t44 100 and t34 100 and early cold war tanks the 122mm could take out tigers panther and king tigers with ease but the 122mm is not ideal for that because is uses a 2 piece ammo which made it had a reload of 20-30 seconds and the long 76mm can indeed take out the tiger from the front in normal combat ranges and does not need to get close

The most idiotic statement about WW2, The Tiger was produced in very small numbers about 100 per month against 4000 T 34 tanks per month. Russia had a whole city, Tankograd producing these tanks and more powerful tanks like the IS series some with 120 mm barrels which were lethal to a Tiger. Hitler lost the battle of Kursk waiting 3 months for Tigers to be produced and Germany only fielded 200 Tigers in that battle which made little difference to the outcome. In short that was the legacy of the Tiger in WW2, the biggest tank battle in history lost by Germany which allowed Russia to construct six lines of defence in those 3 months.

Kind of a clickbait title. The Tiger came nowhere close to winning WWII for Germany. Germany would have been better served to focus on the Panther and make as many of those as they possibly could. It wouldn't have made a difference to the outcome of the war but it would have been a better strategy in my opinion.

Simple answer: No

TIGER 2 was the best

panther was best

The tiger 1 was not 45 tons the panther was 45tons the tiger 1 was closer to 60 tons and tiger 2s were 70tons

The tank that makes communists quake

The Tiger is very very overhyped, do better please

First?

Stupid title.

The Russian T-34 tank, which was the best tank overall in firepower, lightweight, with sloped protection armor produced for minimal cost, didn't win WW2 Yes, the massive quantity produced T-34 tanks was a great offensive weapon used in mass quantity against the German Wehrmacht in operation Barbarossa, but it was not main reason why Germany lost the war. And on the other end - It wasn't the advent of the sophisticated, brilliantly engineered Tiger and Panther tanks, which were great assets and more than did their designed military purpose that cost Germany the war due to the massive financial costs, labor intensive work, and material expenditure they were limited in, in fighting the war against Stalin-Russia's T-34s, KV-1, it was the military strategic decisions made by Hitler overriding his greatest Military Generals from properly conducting the war they knew what needed to be done from taking Moscow as soon as possible, not dividing up forces where concentration was needed, etc If German Wehrmacht Generals, who were the best from Heinz Guderian to Rommel to Von Manstein, etc, had full and total complete strategic and tactical decision making control in Operation Barbarossa, Moscow would have been taken, Stalingrad would never have happened, as well as the Battle of Kursk would never have been fought after their defeat and destruction of the 6th Army at Stalingrad From day one of Operation Barbarossa against Russia, Hitler's meglamania belief in his invincibility as Fuhrer, a Ceasar complex, which was inflated in his German Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe complete and utter successful blitzkrieg military conquest of Western Europe, allowed him in his mind to think he was infallible as a military strategist, to play warlord, ignoring and overruling his best Generals advice and strategy, and his Military Generals - Heinz Guderian, Rommel, Von Manstein, etc If Hitler had allowed his Military Generals to conduct the war against Russia without his interference, Germany might have defeated Russia, hence militarily might have won WWII

boooooo bad video

Wth is that title, ragebait for nerds 😅? Just downvote and move along, nothing to watch here

What a stupid and misleading title !! You should make videos on different topics because you don't know diddly about WORLD WAR TWO .
