GameKnight thats right,for example "Panzerkampfwagen VI ausf. (B)" Which means "Armored assault vehicle 6 model (B)" Yeah its pretty boring when translated to english....especially the panzer IV Which basically means Tank 4 or something like that
This shows how the Germans and Americans had different views on the concept of "Tank". For the Americans, a tank was like an armored car, a reinforced land-based vehicle. For the Germans it was a land battleship, a mobile mini-castle.
I think it mostly came down to Germany's needs since they started off with lighter vehicles which were easy to produce and relatively quick (this was favourable for their blitzkrieg strategy in the beginning) however later in the war when resources were scarce and the ally vehicles continued to improve every german vehicle had to count (aka had to destroy multiple enemy units per vehicle) they opted to build heavier designs in an attempt to create vehicles which would give much better value for the resources put in to build it. This of course didn't really work since there wasn't enough of them to begin with and they would have been a relatively easy target for artillery and aircraft due to their poor mobility.
@@randomnessman3514 The Tiger i still had a upper hand on the M4 Sherman 76, Well the M4 Sherman 76 had a improve fire system still had poor armor unlike the Tiger 1 so pretty much it came down to who pulls the trigger first but the M4 Sherman 76 had to still get semi close to the Tiger either tho the fire system was improve and had better accucy up to mile.
Well the MG42 could only change out the barrel from the side and needed quite a bit of air cooling. Neither would be suitable to be poking out of an armoured plate. The MG34 got the task of hull or turret machine guns. Although MG42's were sometimes mounted externally where the mentioned issues were less of a problem.
You missed an opportunity to make mention of the fact that only one tiger tank that was captured remains in operation. Only one it’s kind in the world.
Simple History Maus, because its BIIIIIIIIG And it looks badass. Also, KV-2 - didnt do much during the war, but the 152mm gun and the shape of its turret made me love it :p

2:32 "or MG42" Nope, the MG42 was not used in this tank, only the MG34, because the MG34 had a barrel change mechanism that was better suited for tank usage.
@@@Koneic First of all i know that i am right and second: Straight outta wikipedia: Panzerkampfwagen VI „Tiger“: 2 × 7,92-mm-MG 34 Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. B Tiger II (King Tiger): 2 × 7,92-mm-MG 34
Fun fact: For some f*cking reason, basically either Tiger E or L have somewhat lower frontal armor protection rate armor than the Panther A (even when it's heavier than one). Trust me. I tried it. I played the damn thing back when I was like 4 years old. If you ever wanna play Panzer Front again, you better take the Panther. You got way faster speed, rate of turn, and actually good gun.
Nice video! But one note: The Tiger appeared first time near Leningrad (St. Petersburg) in septembre 1942. Four tanks were used. all were stucked in mud and had to be blown up by their own crews.
True Tigers were first depolyed in Leningrad, against Guderian's wishes, they were used on swampy muddy terrain in September 1942. They were then deployed in Tunisia in December 1942, where six Tigers and four Panzer IV... destroyed *55* British tanks.

By the time Fury takes place in the war, Sherman M4A3E8 "Easy Eights" would have been in production. They would have easily been able to penetrate the front armor with their higher powered guns, and didn't have the mechanical nightmares Tigers did.
@@jacobwiles547 Basically, the Tank known as "Fury" should have easily been able to kill the Tiger before it smoked its friends. It DID NOT need to get behind the Tiger, as it had the 76mm gun.
When Norway got invaded You have Battle of Narvik, Battle of midskogen, Battle of Tromsø, Battle of oscarborg fortres where the german battleship Blusher got sunken.
The vk 45o1 look like a tiger but without storage tank behind the turret. Very interesting video. Best channel in universe 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
Precisely that, it was a masterpiece, unneded and expensive masterpiece ... 55 t od dead weight, armor whic could not stop any frontal shots from 76mm guns. Atleast it was better that the even useless panther tank. Which was far taller, although it was medium tank. Germans should just built 20t hetzers and waffentragers which could be produced in vast numbers
@@mikeliko01 This isn't true. The British 17 pounder could penetrate frontally at most ranges, but none of the Soviet 76mm guns (excepting the ZiS 3) could penetrate the front of a Tiger even at close range. More vehicles would not have helped Germany since they suffered from fuel shortages for most of the war. 20 hetzers are not as useful as 1 Tiger when most of them can't move due to lack of fuel. The Panther was a very capable tank, even better than the Tiger in terms of protection and penetration. The problem was maintenance and a lack of experienced crews. If they had solved their fuel shortages and gone through with the Entwicklung-series, they could have done a lot better. Better parts sharing, faster production, easier maintenance.
@@darth-hellhound6534 It wasn`t only the lack of experienced crews and fuel. The biggest problem of German tanks like Panther and the Tiger was that they didn`t even joined a battle, because the broke before that. Sometimes a Panther just started to burn, while driving backwards!
@@thomasbummer4361 are you one of those people who believe that "video games cause violence"? Its just a joke for those who play bf5 if your not a gamer then shut up
Lobby, internal struggle and corruption of unimaginable levels were prevalent in german circles through the whole war. It's also the reason the myth about Henschel Tiger being better then Porsche one despite having overcomplicated suspension, unreliable engine and being more costly exists at the same time as Porsche was suggesting alternate transmission to his own electric one(which was still CHEAPER in the end then how much Henschel was taking), four variants of engine, variable armaments, no problem with width and thus no need to have 2 pair of tracks for every vehicle. But Speer and vapruf 6 hated the guy so even already produced vehicles were switched into Ferdinands/Elephants just in case they'll dare to present themselves better then overpriced Henschel's turd.
angle the tiger and its ez Although it's very weird that the tiger and panther are at the same br and require very, very different tactics to use effectively

Fun fact: it took around a minute to rotate the turret 360 degrees, it was actually quicker to turn the whole tank
You just have to love the Tiger
Because it was ahead of it's time, and was so infamous that it took the allied powers 4 entire years to make a tank superior to it in every way.

German Engineers: Ja!

Now we got our new coffin dancer's for allies😂
After seeing the film Fury, I have developed a fear of the Tiger Tank.
By the time Fury takes place in the war, Sherman M4A3E8 "Easy Eights" would have been in production. They would have easily been able to penetrate the front armor with their higher powered guns, and didn't have the mechanical nightmares Tigers did.
@@CrashB111 Thanks!
@@jacobwiles547
Basically, the Tank known as "Fury" should have easily been able to kill the Tiger before it smoked its friends. It DID NOT need to get behind the Tiger, as it had the 76mm gun.
@@youraveragescotsman7119 But the Tiger was far more powerful.
@@jacobwiles547
Of course, but that doesn't matter if a Tank that is lighter and cheaper than yours can kill your Heavy Tank at similar ranges.
German kid gets Tiger as birthday gift.
American kid gets Sherman.
Every german and american kid gangsta until Poland kid arrives with JS-2 "maka 210"
Nice vid mate. Can you do a vid abut The Battle off Norway?
Gold Rush The Game-Gameplay There was no real "battle" though. Or was there i don't know
When Norway got invaded You have Battle of Narvik, Battle of midskogen, Battle of Tromsø, Battle of oscarborg fortres where the german battleship Blusher got sunken.
Gold Rush The Game-Gameplay det var noen store kamper og mindre
The vk 45o1 look like a tiger but without storage tank behind the turret. Very interesting video. Best channel in universe 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
It’s a waste of time and materials..but it is a great masterpiece.
Precisely that, it was a masterpiece, unneded and expensive masterpiece ... 55 t od dead weight, armor whic could not stop any frontal shots from 76mm guns. Atleast it was better that the even useless panther tank. Which was far taller, although it was medium tank. Germans should just built 20t hetzers and waffentragers which could be produced in vast numbers
What else could they do? Make much more medium panzers instead? Where will they get that much oil, from the moon?
@@mikeliko01 This isn't true. The British 17 pounder could penetrate frontally at most ranges, but none of the Soviet 76mm guns (excepting the ZiS 3) could penetrate the front of a Tiger even at close range.
More vehicles would not have helped Germany since they suffered from fuel shortages for most of the war. 20 hetzers are not as useful as 1 Tiger when most of them can't move due to lack of fuel.
The Panther was a very capable tank, even better than the Tiger in terms of protection and penetration. The problem was maintenance and a lack of experienced crews.
If they had solved their fuel shortages and gone through with the Entwicklung-series, they could have done a lot better. Better parts sharing, faster production, easier maintenance.
@@blank2588 they fucked everything up by attacking Russia
@@darth-hellhound6534 It wasn`t only the lack of experienced crews and fuel. The biggest problem of German tanks like Panther and the Tiger was that they didn`t even joined a battle, because the broke before that. Sometimes a Panther just started to burn, while driving backwards!
This is my favorite tank, thanks for making a vid on it
The Maus next please
NinjaQuack Gaming look like anyone likes german tanks XD
ps.: bist du deutsch?
Myrmidon san не русский
E100 pls
E100 was just in blueprints and they only builded a chassis
NinjaQuack Gaming maus never exist. So there is no information about it
The tiger's🐯 explanation is so good👍Thank you💕
Ahh nothing like a good old-fashioned tiger tank to make my day
Can you make video about M26 Pershing?
"tiger 1 is the most feared tank"
Bf5 assault players: *laughs in explosives*
that's good xD
yeah go play ur stupid computer game, kid
@@thomasbummer4361 are you one of those people who believe that "video games cause violence"? Its just a joke for those who play bf5 if your not a gamer then shut up
Thomas Bommer my dad is 52 and he still plays battlefield 1 so what’s your problem with playing games?
Your dad wants to relieve your grandpas battles
This is my favorite tank, man I love WW2 tech
But i bet you dont love me :(
Tiger I will always have a place in my heart.
Lobby, internal struggle and corruption of unimaginable levels were prevalent in german circles through the whole war. It's also the reason the myth about Henschel Tiger being better then Porsche one despite having overcomplicated suspension, unreliable engine and being more costly exists at the same time as Porsche was suggesting alternate transmission to his own electric one(which was still CHEAPER in the end then how much Henschel was taking), four variants of engine, variable armaments, no problem with width and thus no need to have 2 pair of tracks for every vehicle. But Speer and vapruf 6 hated the guy so even already produced vehicles were switched into Ferdinands/Elephants just in case they'll dare to present themselves better then overpriced Henschel's turd.
I still think the tigers are the sexiest tanks by far
(Im a sucker for rectangular vehicles)
Alfonso Alonzo I recommend you the Churchill
Love these Simple History videos! Every one is great!
The Armor was very T H I C C
btw i love your videos can you plsnupload a long video all about ww2 coz i rlly want to know ww2
Not soo thicc.... Even a 76mm firefly shell could penetrate on front...
@@Kazuya.Mishima fire fly shot a 17 pounder. The Americans used the high velocity 76mm gun.
Hey Simple History, I've got a video a video for you, My Suggestion is to talk about the Japanese Made IJN Yamato Warship and how it was made
If you ask warthunder, the tiger was one of the weakest tanks of WW2 and can't stand up to stronk stalnium steel.
Rampster27 *We Russians are very unbiased and historically accurate indeed*
angle the tiger and its ez
Although it's very weird that the tiger and panther are at the same br and require very, very different tactics to use effectively
War games are not reality....
War thunder makes it extremely weird.
Apparently the panther has more frontal armor, a stronger gun and faster speed and is at same br
It’s also the most fucking annoying thing when I see a t34 or t29 or super Pershing because it has way to much fucking armor
Perfektion durch Qualität
That was such a sexy tank. My favourite tank to date.
Americans and British: They will be taken prisoner of war
German: I can build Tiger tanks, you know
Americans and British: 🤔😏
Please make a video for the dutch resistance, or the european resistance
Flemming Vandersteen Yes, I really want to know more about the Dutch Resistance. I know that the Dutch actually halted the German advances during the invasion and only surrendered when the City of Rotterdam was destroyed.
The end was really well animated
