Tiger I

The Tiger I (German: Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausführung H; English: Panzer VI version H - nicknamed Tiger) was a German heavy tank designed by Henschel & Son in 1942. The Tiger I was designed to face Soviet match the Soviet tanks encountered in early stages of the Eastern Front. They were complicated and difficult to produce, hence only a bit over 1300 were built and put into service, making their involvement limited.

Tiger Is had armor as thick as 120mm and were equipped with an 88mm main cannon and two MG34s. Because of this, Tiger Is were exceptionally effective against Allied light and medium tanks, and its main cannon could even be used against aircraft, considering it's based off the German Flak 88.

Battlefield 1942
In Battlefield 1942, the Tiger is the Wehrmacht's and Afrika Korps' standard heavy tank. It has a main cannon with 30 rounds and a co-axial machine gun with 400 rounds. It holds a considerable advantage to medium tanks in armor, and even to its Allied counterpart, the M10 Wolverine. However, it is lacking in firepower. The Wolverine can destroy certain tanks in fewer shots than the Tiger.
