    Yep. I always fear it will start another "The Germans were incredible!" thread.

    As far as Tank vs. Tank fights go, that may be the case.

    However, as an infantrymen, facing a Soviet IS-2 lobbing 122mm rounds at your position may be more terrifying.

    Son, use the forum search feature at top row, and type in Tiger or whatever suits your fancy.

    I have certainly had enough of the "So advanced Germans". how the tiger caused fear, ok yes it did, but like wolfy said about the IS2, that thing could blow the top right off a tiger tank without the shell even needing to penetrate the amour due to the kinetic energy it wielded.
