However, although the heavy tanks at that time had thick armor and fierce firepower, they also had common shortcomings:

The dead weight is too heavy, the reliability of the engine is not high, and it is prone to failure.

The production process is complicated and the cost is too high.

Slow and inflexible.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, the United States chose Sherman medium tank as its main tank, just as the Soviet Union chose T35 medium tank. In fact, although the tiger tank is famous, it is not the main tank of the German armored forces. During World War II, Germany produced a total of about 1 1,000 Tiger tanks.
