who do you guys think could beat the tiger 1?

well a sticky bomb could take a tiger out like in saving pvt.Ryan

What about the German PzKpf. VII? It carries the Worfkorper, and it can take out all the enemies it hits, unless your talking about real life and not Gear Krieg.

I believe he meant real tanks that were in production.

I believe British Fireflies with their 17-pounders did fairly well against Tiger Is, as far as being able to penetrate .
Anybody know how M-10s fared?

the jagdpanther packed the same gun as the King Tiger and with that sloping would be one as well as the King Tiger and of course the Jagdtiger. Of course the author of the question meant opposing tanks and I would have to say the US Pershing, British Centurian, and the Russian JS-1 prior to 1945 only luck shots from anything else

Hi guys, how about a Challenger 2 MBT 'cos lets face it British is best !

Think of it this way. Watchmakers built the Tiger I. That was the problem with German armor industry, a watchmaker mentallity. The Russkies build in quantity. Yeah the engines sounded like coffee grinders, lots of slop in the running rears, but they produced more. The german took way too long in developing tanks, they wanted perfection before quantity.

QUOTE: Originally posted by TigerTank17 Do you armor fanatics honesly think any world war two era tank could take out the TIGER 1 if so let me know nothing can withstand the 88mm

Oh yes!The Pershing was able toknock out the tigers both 1&2. The t-34 was also capable.

JS-1, JS-2, JSU-152 (nicknamed the "Animal Killer). Still, the Tiger I is an awesome tank. It's appearance matches it's reputation.

the panther tank, it was more manuverable. it was awsome in city battles like stalingrad

Dude, I hate to be the one, but the Panther made its debut at KURSK, after the German forces in Stalingrad surrendered....

Sorry guy

Thats easy, the Tiger II could easily take out the Tiger I or maybe the German Hunting Tiger though thats not technically a real tank

at that time, maybe the M36.

According to Flames of War, the armor of the Tiger 1 was not that good. It was the Tiger 2 and the tiger variants that had the heavier armor.

When a captured german tanker was asked what he feared most in tank battle , he replied well that depends .... on ze western front , ze RAF , and on ze eastern front , ze JS2 , no tank can withstand an artillery or bomb barrage , thats why taking out air power is so key to winning wars , second most important is taking out radar and communication( if you can't send coordinates how can you direct artillery and planes ) In the end it was the airforce of the allies that ended the germans hopes of winning the war as they could no longer manufacture these weopans , fuel became a big problem as well , as was supplies like food and medical , and spare parts for those broken down tanks ( and boy did they break down )... hell even our venerable m1a2 abrams tanks have been taken out in this latest war by shoulder held rocket launchers nonetheless ,... so it is just a matter of keeping ahead of your enemies technology , and making sure yours is more effective whether it be more mass produced or just more efficient ! So the answer to the question after all of this jibberish ....... a well placed hellfire missle !

I know for a fact that GOJIRA could beat your measly Tiger I any day of week!



Ok, so much for humor.

The Tiger I remained a capable vehicle throughout the war, but it was surpassed in combat power by the Soviet IS-II, which was able to knock it out at fairly long ranges, and could withstand a hit from the Tiger's gun at some of the longer ranges. (It should be noted that the Tiger's reputation was such that IS-II crews sometimes ran away when they saw Tigers, even though their tank was arguably superior!)

The Pershing could take on a Tiger on pretty equal terms too, although the beginning for the Pershing as inauspicious, being knocked out by a Tiger I in their first encounter.

Someone mentioned Pershing vs. Tiger II. I don't recall the Tiger II ever fighting the Pershing. Anyone have a specific story of such a battle? (We all know that the Pershing was more than a match for the Panther.) I think that by the time the Pershing arrived, the Tiger II units were largely engaged in the fruitless German effort to prop up Hungary.

The Tiger II didn't really have any serious head-to-head challengers. Then again, as someone mentioned earlier, combat doesn't seem to care much about specs! The first battlefield use of the Tiger II resulted in them being ambushed by T34/85's and the destruction of several Tiger II's.

Some claim that the IS-III might have had some limited WWII usage at the 11th hour, but I wonder if even that vehicle would have been able to defeat the Tiger II in s straight-up fight.

One interesting thing about the Tiger II is that Russian tests indicated that the quality of German steel had fallen so much that the Tiger II's armour was actually weaker than the Tiger I's. Interesting. I wish I could find the source I saw on this a few years ago -- it was a Russian analysis using captured vehicles, which they analysed and then shot to pieces with Soviet armament.

Now on to the next question, could Batman kick Superman's butt?

Larry: I saw some combat footage taken at the end of the war , encounter with a tiger 2 in a city ... The pershing took it out , one of its crew bailing minus one of his legs only to bleed to death shortly after ! The pershing hit it 2 times ..... the second results in the usual firestorm caused by the ammo going off !
