The Tiger I weighed 54 tons but could carry extra fuel to extend its range to over 170 miles in combat.
Its 88mm gun wasn’t the most powerful on the battlefield, but its high-explosive shells devastated fortifications beyond armor piercing.
Despite rugged appearance, the Tiger I’s interior brightness came from three headlamps, boosting crew efficiency under dim German factory lighting.
A single Tiger I required over 5,000 man-hours to assemble, making production time roughly equivalent to several allied tanks combined.
