Add to Cart View # BKM245-2 (Second Edition) Of all the tank designs to reach a 20th Century battlefield, no other vehicle has attained such legendary and mythical status as the German Tiger heavy tanks. Backed up by undeniable battlefield effectiveness, the Tiger's mythos grew to legendary status and struck terror into the hearts of those faced with the challenge of defeating it. The origins of the Tiger tank date back to 1937, when a 30-35 ton heavy tank was discussed by German planners. The idea was dropped in favor of the more lightweight and mobile Panzer III and IV series, which proved adequately effective against allied forces in Poland and France. When Hitler turned his forces against Russia, they were soon shocked to be faced against the formidable T-34 tank (a closely guarded secret weapon up to that point). The Panzertruppe found themselves outgunned, and facing certain defeat, unless they were equipped with more powerful weapons. On Hitler's orders, a new 55 ton heavy tank was to be produced, armed with an adaptation of the deadly 88mm anti-aircraft cannon, and 100mm of frontal armor. The winning prototype was designed by Henschel and was ordered into production in July of 1942. While sequentially following the much sleeker Panther tank, the Tiger was clearly a throwback to earlier design work. Instead of sloping armor, the Tiger relied on shear brute strength of it's armor for protection. This simplified design helped speed the Tiger into production, although not without such innovations as a semiautomatic transmission, power steering (allowing the driver to steer with a wheel instead of a pair of brake levers), and a hydraulically powered turret. The Tiger made it's battlefield debut in September of 1942 and immediately proved effective at knocking out virtually any adversary well before itself was within effective range of opposing fire. The Tiger successfully served the Panzertruppe on all fronts on the European continent until the end of the war. The Tiger's near invincibility against any other allied armored vehicle instilled a fear known as "Tigerphobia" and reports of battlefield encounters with Tiger tanks were censored by British commanders to prevent panic amongst the troops. While the Tiger (and predecessor Tiger II) was undoubtedly one of the most formidable weapons present at any battle in WW2, only 2500 were produced due to it's enormous material cost. Even though it was one of the greatest tanks of all time, achieving an unequalled legendary status in AFV history, it never reached the battlefield in sufficient numbers to the turn the tide of the war. Although inferior in almost every aspect, the mass-produced medium tanks of the allies (Sherman and T-34) were deployed in sufficient numbers to overwhelm the limited number of German heavy tanks, even while suffering grievous losses to their own units.

Designed to be Germany's tanks for fighting other tanks, the Panzer III saw it's successful battlefield debut during the invasion of Poland.

Add to Cart View # BKM846 Developed in 1971, the T-72 “Ural” was designed in the tradition of inexpensive and effective Russian tanks. Beginning with the T-34 medium tank of World War II, Soviet tank designers set out to compete with Western military hardware. The T-72 maintained close performance to Western main battle tanks while keeping the cost low. It came armed with a 125 mm smoothbore tank gun and an optical coincidence rangefinder. Later improvements came with laser rangefinder systems. The T-72 “Ural” had an automatic loading system, eliminating the need for a dedicated crewmember. One of the key features of the T-72 is the attached 125 mm 2A46 series main gun, which is significantly larger than the standard 105 mm gun found in western MBTs. The main gun is complemented by a “Siren” two-plane electrohydraulic stabilizer, which allows automatic stabilization with speeds from .05-6 degrees per second.
