How many Tiger tanks were built in World War 1?

Answer 1

Tiger I: 1350

Tiger II: 487

I have read estimates of 450 King tigers were actually built, up to the above figure of 487. Almost certainly no more then 500 were ever built. Of these 450 to 500 tanks actually built, most of them never made it to the battlefield. Those that did, caused massive destruction and terror wherever they appeared and often the only warning American, British or russian tank crews got was when one or more tanks in their formation suddenly blew up. The King Tiger's gun could hit an enemy tank at 2 miles and thanks to expert crews and advanced optics, first round hit probability at 1,000 yards and below was over 90%.

The King Tiger used the same engine as did the Panther tank. The Panther weighed 20 tons less so with the abysmal power to weight ratio, the King Tiger was a lumbering beast at best and a fuel hog. More "destroyed" King Tiger tanks were probably lost to breakdowns and running out of fuel then to enemy action. This is why the wartime photos you see of captured king tigers, often show no damage at all.

Of course more King Tigers were planned, then were built. 1,500 King Tigers were planned to be built, no doubt by complete optimists. the KT was produced at two factories but the Henschel factory was bombed over and over by allied air strikes in 1945 until production was stopped by wars end.

Answer 2

The tiger tanks were first used in North Africa and proved there worth immediately, The were consequently used on the eastern front fighting the Russians, as well as in Italy by units such as the luftwaffes Herman goring division, later they were used on the western front and fought until the end of the war in Berlin. Battles, countless

Answer 4

Over 100 thousand tanks were built in WW2.

Answer 5

why are you asking this site we don't know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol this is a guess i think over 1000

Answer 6

None, not one: They are WW2. And then there were less than 1500. Possibly at it's time, possibly excepting the Panther (Pzkw V) and the T34, the finest AFV of all.
