One thing I would think about being able to hear it miles away is you cannot really tell within those miles accurately wear it would be coming from?I would it would also instill great fear into the soldiers hearing it so far away and not being able to do anything.
Not if you dont have any tanks in the area…call in a airstrike. 
Tiger 1 Power:
Checking the book “Tiger 1 heavy tank 1942-1945” of Jentz-Doyle I found interesting data about the battle of KursK.
There was 148 Tigers I available on that time in the Eastern Front, 85 % ready to combat.
Facing it there was about 3400 russian tank ( including 270 Kv-1 and 35 Churchill Mk-III)
The sPz.Abt 503 had an excelent performance in the attack to the russian bulge. Betwenn 1 of July 1943 and 2 September 1943 the Heavy Tank Batallion claimed as destroyed 501 enemy tanks (mostly T-34 but also small number of Valentine, Churchill, and KV-1s) 388 pak and Flak guns, 79 artillery pieces and 7 aircraft… 
In turn this group suffer 18 Tiger knocked out wich only 7 became total losses.
The introduction of the heavy tank (Pz.Kpfw. Tiger) has led to a modification of German tactics, and reports from the Eastern Front indicate that Tiger tanks were sometimes used there in an independent role. The Tiger tank has been employed mainly to provide support for light and medium tanks. In one action in the Tunisian Campaign, however, lighter tanks formed the spear head of an attack, but when Allied tanks came within range, the lighter German tanks deployed to the flanks and the Tiger tanks engaged.

Amen. A static tiger could be uased as some kind of “anti-tank pill-box” if you want.
Tiger in the woods.
Tiger 1 Henschel V1 with deep fording apparatus.
More likely from his wagnerian dreams.[/QUOTE]

I ll try to found you a view from above but is a hard one.
Ans yes 24 Tiger 1 were deployed to Tunisia with the 501 heavy armored Battalion, and caused a lot of damage there.
I bet that was a surprise for the English!
any chance of getting the two turrets together cos i dont think iv seen them both OR im just ignorant of the difference, i knew that there were two different ones but i dont know the differance.
Tiger I
Tiger II
King Tiger (porsche designed turret)
King tiger (Henschel designed turret)
The Porsche turret had an frontal armor 110mm thick, the Henschel one 180 mm thick.
What’s your favorite variation of the Tiger II turret?
Favorite ? The Henschel turm obviously.
thanks after a good hard look i would go for the porsche designed turret
tis a little unfair the question is wich turret tiger 1 tiger with two different or the tiger 2 you lot show me two different tiger 2’s and i thought you was going to show me the two tiger one’s then the tiger two… or have i got the wrong end of the stick??
You mind revising that with puncuation? :roll:
i love the tiger II
Don’t we all?
Weren’t raft bridges designed to get the Tiger II across a body of water? It couldn’t even cross a bridge :shock:
It couldn’t even cross a bridge
Why not? there was a decree forbidding it ?
If you mean because this weight , you should said it cannot go trough weak bridges, but it have some fording capabilities.
Althought the Tiger II is the more advanced, and probably more capable, I stll prefer the Tiger 1. Its just more esoteric. - Raspenau -
