Instructions: Press 1 to fire the T-34/85's cannon, it takes 8 seconds to load, press 2 to fire the Tiger's cannon, it takes 8.5 seconds to reload. You can keep having the tanks fire at each other until one of them gets destroyed (in your case, it can be any tank, since I'm not saying that one tank is better than the other). The T-34/85, one of the Soviet Union's best WWII tanks, encounters a Tiger tank, the pride of the German army Wehrmacht's armor force that turns every battle into a German victory under its presence. Even if the Tiger tank may have the advantage in health and damage, in a real tank battle, such as the Battle of Kursk (1943), the Soviet T-34/85 has the advantage in huge numbers (4,000 Soviet tanks V.S. 2,700 German tanks at Kursk) to hit the Tiger tank with their hard-hitting guns. History of the T-34/85: The T-34/85 emerged as a new series of Soviet medium tanks, its goal was to replace the unsuccessful T-34 (T-34/76 Model 1943) and T-44 (T-44-85 and T-44-100) medium tanks due to the Soviet armor units being obsolete to the German Panzer IV Ausf H/J and PzKpfw Panther Ausf G medium tanks. The current arsenal of Soviet T-34/76s were all but useless against the latest German Panzers, as discovered in the Battle of Kursk in 1943, especially after newer German Jagdpanther and Ferdinand tank destroyers were deployed to the battlefield. Planned in 1942 and built through 1943-1944 before the heavier IS-2 tanks became available, the T-34/85 formed the bulk force of the Red Army’s heavy support tanks. Its armament could either have the powerful 85mm ZIS-S-53 (ZIS-85) AA Gun that shoots only AP shells, or the D-5T, a modified AT version of the ZIS-S-53 that could shoot both AP and HE shells and used by most tank destroyers, including the infamous SU-85. The secondary machine guns included three 7.62mm DT-28 vehicle-mounted machine guns (armed on the hull, coaxial, and on the commander’s cupola, which is optional and mainly used for anti-air purposes instead of anti-infantry purposes). The tank was to have up to 80-90mm maximum hull armor and weighed 32 tons battle ready (with crew and ammunition). It had a crew of 5 (commander, driver, gunner, loader, and radio operator/assistant driver), and could travel up to 38 km/h offroad. History of the Tiger Tank: After the earlier Panzer IVs failed to combat the Soviet T-34/76s effectively, which lead to a disaster during the battles of Moscow and Stalingrad during Operation Barbarossa, a plan was made to design a new tank, one that would house a fearsome 88mm gun as well as armor up to 100mm thick. This tank must be able to destroy the T-34s without fear of the round ricocheting off the T-34's hull, and no doubt able to take many hits by the T-34’s 76.2mm F-34 gun. In the meantime, the tank needed to have a modified and enlarged chassis to be able to hold all that armor. The hull was to be designed by Henschel, and the turret was to be made by Krupp, after the Porsche Tiger (VK 45.01) hulls were discovered to be inferior to the Henschel hulls (the Porsche hulls later became the chassis of the Ferdinand and Elefant tank destroyers, a knock-off of the Jagdtiger) due to the lack of power in the petrol-electric drive engines of the Porsche hulls. The early production versions of the Tiger was called PzKpfw VI Tiger Ausf. H (H is for Henschel), and later became the PzKpfw VI Tiger Ausf. E. The Tiger tank soon became one of the German Wehrmacht’s most well-known tanks by every country in the Allied forces, and many German tank aces scored hundreds of kills on enemy armored units with the Tiger. The Tiger was only replaced in 1944 by the PzKpfw VI Tiger II Ausf. B "Königstiger" (King Tiger), but in reality the Tiger only ceased production and existing units were not removed from the army but the resources needed to make the tanks were used to make the King Tiger tanks. With 100mm frontal armor and 120mm gun mantlet armor, this legendary tank weighed 54 tons battle ready, as well as having a crew of 5 (commander, gunner, loader, driver, and radio operator). It carried 92 rounds of 8.8cm AP or HE ammunition, as well as travelling up to 20 km/h to 30 km/h offroad. Around 1,350 of these tanks were built during the entire course of the war, versus the 484 King Tiger tanks, and it became one of WWII’s most famous and well-known tanks to ever be made, even if it may not be the strongest.
