It was another case of wasting 13 tiger I chassis to produce another miniscule run oddity AFV of little or no use.
Unfourtantely, you are right.. but I'd say its my favourite tank.
Somehow that really defines the word "Tank" for me.

A big old monster with a huge gun. Haha.

I think all tanks are the top tanks of the war. If it was there, it would be there for a reason. Not all of the reasons where justified, but then war is never really meant to be justice.
