I would still prefer a Panzer V or VI (tiger I) unless perhaps my posting with this tank was in a swampy area, as in the Pacific, or if my posting required it to swim ashore at Normandy...

Given a choice, I'd ride in/command a StuG, of course. I would NOT want any parts of a Tiger.
They look 'cool' in movies, but in the real world it's a different story. Constantly broke down, humping jerry cans of fuel.
Wadeing through mud to hook up cables to be pulled out. Change tracks for train ride, re-change tracks once there. Constantly being shuttled to every hot-spot that is in danger.
Not my cup of tea.
