During WWII, the Allied Forces introduced a tank which was capable of taking on the Tigers and Panthers, in the form of the Sherman Firefly, a British designed marriage of the M4 Sherman and their famous 17-pounder anti-tank gun.
The Tiger I is arguably the most famous tank of the Second World War.
The impenetrable armour, powerful gun and huge size of the Tiger made it a legend in its time. It struck terror into the hearts of Allied tank crews when it first appeared in 1942. The armour was 100mm thick at the front, making it impervious to Allied guns. Yet a shot from the 88mm gun could penetrate 100mm armour at ranges of up to 1,000 metres.
