Re: Tigers vs Shermans
Said I wouldn't comment again but your actually pretty much verifying what I said.
The Tiger was the first tank designed with tank combat in mind as a primary role.
As you stated sure other people realised this & upgraded models to do so.
The key word is upgraded they were not designed that way from the start.
Not going to look it up but the Tigers design brief was from around 1937 if I remember right because the Germans saw the need for it.
Because they were ahead of the game is why the Tiger has been I would say the only tank in history that truly had nothing to touch it for a year or two after its delivery.
