A Tiger tank's powerful gun could finish off one of today's light armoured vehicles. But it would be impotent against a modern battle tank, says Foss. "The Challenger would open fire before the
Best! "Patton" was one of the first films to show tanks in combat. Relatively early in the film, Gen. George S. Patton takes control of American II Corps and faces off against Gen. Erwin Rommel at El Guettar, Tunisia. What follows is one of the largest, most ambitious battles ever filmed as dozens of American and German tanks trade fire amidI have the soviet IS-2 berlin and the 2M is basically a direct upgrade. The soviet IS-2 has only one advantage over the M, which is that it weights less. So it has better power to weight with the same engine.

The 68-tonne behemoth is one of only eight King Tiger tanks remaining from the roughly 490 built during the Second World War. “The Tiger is probably the most famous German tank from the war, but

The skill, determination, courage, etc. of the tank crew can have a bigger part to play than the designers specifications.
The pak43 is one of the best conventional guns in the game, its high pen and velocity (combined with the pretty good scope on the tiger ii) means you preferably want to be at range (it was meant to engage from 4km irl. Fun fact, the longest range tank-to-tank kill in history was scored by a king tiger at 4.5km on a t-34-85).
IMO the T29 edges out slightly due to its one shot ability, i feel like the tigers slight advantage in reload and accuracy does not merit it being better than the T29. TBH its hard to compare, they have different battlefield roles. The T29 is an assault tank where the tiger is nearly a tank destroyer. #8.wwVN6U.
