I'm new and have a question

The Tiger wasn't slow. What would give you that impression?

 

it was around the same speed as other heavy tanks desinged around the same time ie KV1, the difference in speed was less than 5 mp/h

 

It was about as fast as the Pz.Kpfw.I.

 

The PzKw VI E had approxamitely the same maximum speed as the PzKW IV also, which was around 40 km/h, depending on conditions.

I accuse the History chanal documentories for misleading the public about the Tiger tank!

 

Before posting anything you have heard on the History Channel or Discovery, I reccomend that you cross-reference the data with reliable internet sources such as:

panzerworld.net and wwiivehicles.com

 

I 2nd that motion I have done that msitakes before , but I learn from it so its a good thing

Apprently the history chanal is not the most accurate source of information. their information like wikipedia I would not trust my life to very often.

 

I would extend that accustion to misleading the public in general

 

Much of the misinformation spread by the History Channel and the Discovery Channel emerges either because only one source is used, or because their programs do not allow them to tell the whole story. For example, if you want to describe the Tiger you could use the powers of hindsight and place the tank in the perspective of the whole war using all available facts and figures, or you could follow the testimony of a single Allied tanker who encountered a Tiger in '42.
