What is better a panzer tank or a tiger tank?

Trick question. They are the same tank. Panzer manufactured the Tiger. Actually, there was no such tank known as a "panzer" tank. Panzer is a german word meaning "armored vehicle". ALL german tanks were thus "panzer" tanks. The original question could be confusing "panzer" with "panther", which was a specific model of tank. The Panther was a medium-heavy tank, where the Tiger was a true heavy tank. The Tiger came out slightly before the Panther, and thus, was technologically inferior to the Pather in terms of design. It's a bit hard to compare the Tiger to Panther, as they were constructed with different design goals, and were used together for most of the second half of WW2. Alternately, the original question could refer to any one of the "original" German tank models, which were commonly known as "Panzer I" through "Panzer IV", which were abbreviations for their full name: panzerkampfwagon I, II, III, or IV. These were pre-war designs, and significantly inferior to either the Panther or Tiger.

Which is better tiger tank 1 or king tiger tank?

the tiger 1 was a really great tank. Tank commanders like Erwin Rommel used tigers. on the other hand the armor of the king tiger was used to reflect or ricochet shells all that armor made the tank heavier. The tiger was formed during the Battle of Kursk, when the germans were trying to figure out a way to protect their flak 88s while setting them up. They put armor around the 88 which formed the tiger. My tank would be the tiger its faster more powerful and more armor. The king tigers were rarely used after the battle of Remagen.
