Well, what do you think? Were Tigers worth nearly twice the cost of a Panther, and three times as much as a PzKpfw IV?

When used in the hands of aces like Whittmann they were devastating, but they were also VERY thirsty and could only go about 3kmbefore having a maintenance check.

Tigers are my favorite panzer variant of WWII but if it werent for Hitler's fascination with sheer size I bet the Reich's money could have been put to beter use.
