Tiger I
« on: March 15, 2005, 03:35:00 PM »
How Can a Panzer kill a tiger turrent with one shot with 75mm cannon, when a tiger I had 146mm of armor on turrent and its angel is 75* from 800 out, in WWII it was inpossable to do that.

Also dropping a 1,000 lbs bomb on a tiger (unless it was a hit right on top of tiger) ( even if it was 5 mm away from it) would only track a tiger, not kill it. ONLY a derect hit would kill a tiger I or a King tiger II.

Also 500lbs bomb would only take a TIGERS TURRENT OUT AND NOT KILL A TIGER unless it was a rear hit and hit fuel tank

How would you know?    I mean, unless I'm mistaken, Panzers weren't in the habit of shooting Tigers in WW II.

    I could be wrong there, but I thought it was mostly allied tanks that shot at the Tigers.

Wouldn't a 1000lb bomb drop 5m from your tank kill the crew by asphyxiation?

That's nothing.  I kill Tigers all the time with handgrenades in BF:1942.

B-17s carpet bombed a group of panzers and tigers during WW2.  Just the near hits were flipping the panzers over, ripping the turrets from the turret-rings, and killing/injuring the crews.

Not a story. Visit the jagdmoroner forum for there was a long thread there. Iirc, 'the Myth of Mortain' was the thread.

A 1000lber landing 5mm from a Tiger would be indistinguishable from a direct hit in regards to the final operation status of the vehical.

A 500lber landing on a Tiger would blow it apart.


You heavily underestimate the destructive forces in these bombs.

wouldnt a 1k bomb landing next to a tiger literally liquidify the crew?

My bet is that a 1000lb bomb landing next to the Tiger would flip it over and track it.

Either way, the vehicle would be toast.

Tigers we tough, but they had their weak spots.
