Tigers

[Turret]

A fact is a fact, just as a cold one is mine.

A tank is protected against the threats it attacks, in order to perform it's role, that of a Tank.

From it's protection, the tank can deliver fire... and there is the Tank...

15cm frontal armour for a tiger seems right,AFIRC,but keep in mind the angles of fire and if it's a side or rear hit,tigers were much more vunerable on side and rear side turret hits.
They are not invincible,just a platoon of stuarts can take a lone tiger out easily on favorable ground.

While Tigers for sure were not invincible, a platoon of M3/M5 Stuart light tanks would have great difficulty taking out a Tiger even on favorable ground. Basically they would have to go for mobility kill by shooting at the tracks and simultaneously close to point blank range behind the Tiger. The Tiger can easily take out the Stuarts one by one if they stop or even slow down.

My money would be on the Tiger. The 37mm gun of the Stuart is simply too weak.
