The design of the tank, listened to ideas and suggestions of Adolf Hitler. W końcu zrealizowano ideał Fuhrer w tej dziedzinie. Hitler has for years had a vision, that only large tanks with great firepower are decisive in combat, quite contrary to the ideal of De Gaulle and his allies, who preferred light tanks (Sherman Style) .
The Russians quickly understood, Hitler's vision of the armored vehicles was right.

Główną uwagę w projekcie nowego Tygrysa was placed on choosing a more effective weapon.

Mounted 88mm cannon, with greater coverage. W prace nad zaprojektowaniem podwozia, two companies involved: Henschel and Porsche from Stuttgart. Tower construction was entrusted to the company Krupp of Essen.

The specificity of the Tiger was to be modified for 88mm anti-aircraft gun. Although it was originally intended for anti-aircraft artillery proved to be a deadly weapon against enemy tanks. Po wielu Tiger Tankeksperymentach i dyskusjach, decided, that at the beginning 1943 the anti-aircraft gun will no longer be mounted.

Krupp firm then hired to design a new tower, on which to mount the 88mm caliber pistol version KwK 43, they were fit to the chassis Henschel and Porsche.

88mm cannon with a KwK KwK 36 i 43 were used for this tank.

KwK gun model 43 has length 71 kalibrów (71 88mm) .It is indeed much more effective weapon than the previous model.

Missiles fired at a speed of 1000 meters per second. Bardzo celne i przenikające 150 mm armor of the enemy from a distance of more than 2200 m.

Enemy tank located 3 miles from the Tiger 3 seconds was destroyed. This made, that it was ideal for heavy fighting in the open.

See Tiger in action! :

 

This tank gained mystical fame and earned a reputation as the most devastating weapon of World War II. It was a showcase of the German armed forces and restored the morale of the army even in the last days of the war, because of the havoc, to be able to do during the Ardennes offensive.

Allied nations entering Berlin feared the Tigers until the last day of the war.
