10 to 1. The 10 to 1 figures (for Tigers) stems from the kill numbers of each Tiger unit divided by the numbers of Tigers lost in combat (not...
Thanks Skua. And welcome to DanskPanser.
Thanks. Hi guys, Thanks for the warm welcome back after all this time. I wasn't sure I'd be remembered. It's appreciated. :D Hi Aymeric,...
I think you mean the Isherman. The 'Super Sherman' was the Israeli long barreled 75mm M-50 Sherman (which still looked awesome with a huge 75mm CN...
Back. Hey guys, especially Roel and Skua! I finally popped back in. Been out of the loop for a long while (since Sept 2004). Took a long break...
Well it doesn't seem to be that much of a 'sharp decline' from 5:1 or 4:1 in late 43/44 looking at canambridge's post on loss rates between the...
KBO, It never ceases to amaze me that talk and debate of a 'particular' tank v another 'particular' tank always seems to end up as a numbers...
Daniel, Sorry, you have never proved anything to me. Your post in this thread proves or says nothing about Panthers, King Tigers or Tigers not...

No denying neccesary Roel. I love WW2 German armour and freely admit it. Much of their amour was superior. The Tigers are my personal favourites....
No Skua, not when somebody claims something I haven't written. I never said a ten to one kill ratio was the norm. People should read posts...
Ohhhhhh do I detect yet another one who can't accept the fact that much German armour was superior? I'm beginning to think so. It amazes me, it...
Exactly KBO. Nowhere have I ever said that each and every Tiger managed to knock out ten enemy tanks. There were Tigers that knocked out NO enemy...
See, there's not even agreement here by people who are pointing out the mistakes I asked for hehe. :lol: Any other mistakes are welcome....
There are many sources I got the info from. Are you also saying that the work of Lochman/von Rosen/Rubbel is also false? Normandy is not the...
Greg, Various sources. I cross referenced as much as I could. The major works were Wolfgang Schneider's Tigers In Combat volumes 1 and 2 and...

Bumped.
Very few Tigers were actually destroyed by allied air power. Certainly not a geat percentage. Even in Normandy losses through air power were not...
