Tiger I Tank Platoon (Core Unit)
Contains: 3x Tiger I Tanks
Description:
When the Tiger was introduced in 1942 it was a weapon of unequalled performance and protection; there was little the Allies in Tunisia or Russia could do to knock them out. It had its disadvantages (it was slow and a little unreliable to start with), but at the time its clear advantages outweighed these.
The production model Henschel Tiger I E had 100mm of front armour on both its hull and turret, 80mm on its rear and sides, and 25mm of top armour. None of the armour was particularly well-sloped, but it had lots of it. Its 8.8cm gun had already proved itself in combat as a lethal anti-armour weapon. Production of the Tiger I began in July 1942 and continued through till August 1944 with over 1300 built.
