'''Tiger I''' adalah nama tank berat terkenal buatan [[Nazi Jerman|Jerman]] yang telah dipakai sejak 1942 dan digunakan di berbagai pertempuran pada [[Perang Dunia II]]. '''''Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausführung E''''' adalah nama resmi tank ini, tetapi sering disingkat menjadi Tiger saja. Tank Tiger I adalah tank pertama [[Wehrmacht|Angkatan Darat Jerman Nazi]] yang memiliki senjata utama kelas berat dan dapat membuat takut tank-tank [[Uni Soviet|Soviet]] di [[Front Timur (Perang Dunia II)|Front Timur]]. Tank Tiger pertama kali diterjunkan ke [[Leningrad]], saat pecahnya peristiwa [[Pengepungan Leningrad]] di bawah naungan [[Waffen SS]]. Pasukan Jerman, dengan dukungan tank Tiger, dapat merebut kota Leningrad dan meneruskan perjalanan, tetapi harus dibayar mahal, karena banyak yang mogok akibat kerusakan transmisi.

Tank Tiger I ini sudah dicap dengan "tank berdesain luar biasa",{{sfn|Bishop|2002|p=9}} namun karena proses produksi yang tergesa-gesa dengan metode penekanan buruh dan dengan bahan bijih besi yang sulit untuk didapatkan hanya ada sekitar 1,347 yang berhasil dibuat antara Agustus 1942 dan Agustus 1944. Tank Tiger sangat rentan terhadap kerusakan roda karena membeku saat musim dingin Rusia (yang terkenal ganas sejak [[Perang Napoleon|Invasi Napoleon ke Rusia]] di 1812). Produksi tank ini kemudian dihentikan guna menghemat bahan baku dan membuat versi ke-2 yang lebih "kompeten" untuk membantu pasukan Jerman dalam perang; tank tersebut dinamai [[Tiger II]].
'''Tiger I''' nama Tank Kelas Berat terkenal buatan [[Nazi Jerman|Jerman]] yang telah dipakai pada tahun 1942 dan digunakan diberbagai di pertempuran di [[Perang Dunia II|PDII]]. ''Panzerkampfwagen&nbsp;VI&nbsp;Tiger&nbsp;Ausf. E'', disingkat Tiger. Tank Tiger I satu-satunya tank milik [[Wehrmacht|Angkatan Bersenjata Nazi Jerman]] yang memiliki senjata utama kelas berat dan satu-satu nya yang dapat menakut-nakuti Tank-Tank [[Uni Soviet|Soviet]] di Front Timur. Meski penugasan pertama nya berada di [[Tunisia]] [[Afrika Utara]] Dibawah naungan [[Deutsche Afrika Korps]] namun Tiger I lebih sering terlihat di Timur dan Barat dibanding Afrika Utara pada waktu itu hingga berakhirnya [[Pertempuran Berlin|Pertempuran di Berlin]] pada 8 Mei 1945.
 
Satu-satunya Tiger I yang masih berfungsi dengan baik berada di [[:en:The Tank Museum|Museum Tank]] di kota Bovington, [[Britania Raya]]. Tiger I yang berada di Inggris ini memiliki nomor seri 131, sehingga sering disebut dengan Tiger 131.

Satu-satu nya Tiger I yang masih ada dan bisa dipergunakan berada di salah satu museum di salah satu kota di [[Britania Raya]]. Tiger I yang di inggris ini disebut dengan nama julukan Tiger 13.
=== Perancangan ===
Henschel & Son memulai pengembangan desain tank besar di awal Januari tahun 1937 saat Departemen Persenjataan Angkatan Darat meminta Henschel mengembangkan kendaraan tipe ''Durchbruchwagen'' ("Kendaraan Pemecah Pasukan") dengan berat rata-rata 30-33 ton.<ref>B T white ''German Tanks and Armoured Vehicles, 1914-1945'' p69-70</ref> Hanya satu prototipe badan yang pernah di buat sedangkan kubahnya tak pernah di pasangkan. Prototipe Tank ''Durchbruchwagen I'' bentuk badan dan suspensinya mirip dengan tank [[Panzer III]] sementara kubahnya sama dengan tank [[Panzer IV|Panzer IV C]] dengan senjata utama L/24.
 
Sebelum prototipe Durchbruchwagen ''I'' selesai dibuat, ada isu mengatakan bahwa Departemen Peralatan Angkatan Darat akan memesan pembuatan tank dengan berat awal 30 ton. Tank ini merupakan pengembangan Durchbruchwagen I namun dengan tambahan lebih: armor yang tebal pada Prototipe, yang mana tank Durchbruchwagen II ini, akan mampu memiliki 50mm lapis baja di depan dan kalau di total berat keseluruhan menjadi 36 ton. Hanya satu badan yang dibuat sama saja seperti Durchbruchwagen ''I'' dan tak pernah di buat kubahnya. Pengembangan tank ini dimulai tahun 1938 bentuk nya dan suspensi Durchwagen II ini serupa dengan Tank [[Panzer IV]]. Untuk membuat desain yang lebih baik dan lebih besar maka dibuat cetak biru baru bernama [[VK 30.01 (H)]] dan [[VK 36.01 (H)]]. Baik Durchbruchwagen I & II akan memiliki status "Kendaraan Uji Coba" sampai pada akhir 1941

[[Berkas:Tiger (P).svg|jmpl|Tiger I (sering disebut sebagai "Porsche Tiger" atau "Tiger P"), purwarupa tank Tiger milik Porsche.|288x288px]]
Tank VK 30.01 (H) tank kelas medium dan Tank VK 36.01 (H) Tank Kelas Berat, termaksud dalam Proyek the ''Schachtellaufwerk'' - already common on German half-tracks such as the [[SdKfz 7]] - overlapping and interleaved main road wheels for tank use.
Pada 26 Mei 1941, Henschel dan Porsche di beri permintaan untuk mendesain ulang proyek tank kelas berat dengan berat awal 45 ton. Tanpa pikir panjang, Porsche meneruskan pekerjaannya di VK 30.01 (P) tank Leopard, sedangkan Henschel melanjutkan juga di prototipe VK 36.01 (H). Henschel juga membuat dua prototipe lagi: VK 45.01 (H) H1 dengan senjata utama 88 mm, dan prototipe selanjutnya adalah VK 45.01 (H) H2, dengan senjata utama 75 mm.
 
Porsche dan Henschel mengajukan desain prototipe, masing-masing memanfaatkan kubah rancangan Krupp. Kedua purwarupa didemonstrasikan di [[Kętrzyn|Rastenburg]] di depan Hitler. Desain Henschel diterima, terutama karena desain prototipe Porsche [[VK 4501 (P)]] menggunakan unit tenaga hibrida bensin-listrik yang bermasalah yang membutuhkan sejumlah besar [[tembaga]] untuk pembuatan komponen drivetrain listriknya, bahan perang strategis yang sangat terbatas di Jerman.{{Sfn|Jentz|Doyle|1993|p=6}} Produksi Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. H dimulai pada Agustus 1942. Mengharapkan pesanan untuk tanknya, Porsche membangun 100 sasis. Setelah kontrak itu diberikan ke Henschel, mereka digunakan untuk kendaraan nirkubah baru, [[penghancur tank]] [[Kasemat|berkasemat]]. 91 lambung dikonversi menjadi [[Panzerjager Ferdinand|''Panzerjäger'' Tiger (P)]] pada awal 1943.
The [[VK 30.01 (H)]] was intended to mount a low velocity 7.5&nbsp;cm L/24 infantry support gun, a 7.5&nbsp;cm L/40 dual purpose anti-tank gun, or a 10.5&nbsp;cm L/28 field gun in a [[Krupp]] turret. Overall weight was to be 33 tonnes. The armour was designed to be 50&nbsp;mm on frontal surfaces and 30&nbsp;mm on the side surfaces. Four prototype hulls were completed for testing. Two of these were later modified to build the "[[Sturer Emil]]" (12.8&nbsp;cm ''Selbstfahrlafette'' L/61) self-propelled anti-tank gun.
 
Saat Jerman melakukan [[Operasi Barbarossa|Perjalanan ke Timur]] pada 22 Juni 1941, Jerman terkejut dengan tank baru Soviet yaitu [[T-34]] kelas medium dan [[KV-1 (tank)|KV-1]] kelas berat yang dapat menandingi tank-tank Jerman di timur. Oleh karena itu desain tank ini dibuat agar dapat menandingi KV-1 dan [[T-34]], akhirnya rancangan Henschel yang di terima dan mulai dikirim ke timur pertengahan 1942.
The [[VK 36.01 (H)]] was intended to weigh 40 tonnes, with 100&nbsp;mm (4 inches) of armour on front surfaces, 80&nbsp;mm on turret sides and 60&nbsp;mm on the hull sides. The VK 36.01 (H) was intended to carry a 7.5&nbsp;cm L/24, or a 7.5&nbsp;cm L/43, or a 7.5&nbsp;cm L/70, or a 12.8&nbsp;cm L/28 cannon in a Krupp turret that looked similar to an enlarged Panzer IVC turret. The hull for one prototype was built, followed later by five more. The six turrets built were never fitted and were used as part of the [[Atlantic Wall]]. The VK 36.01 (H) project was discontinued in early 1942 in favour of the VK 45.01 project.
 
== Desain ==
Combat experience against the French [[Somua S35]] [[cavalry tank]] and [[Char B1]] heavy tank, and the British [[Matilda II]] [[infantry tank]]s during the [[Battle of France]] in June 1940 showed that the German Army needed better armed and armoured tanks.{{sfn|Green|2008|pp=12-13}}
Tiger berbeda dari [[Tank di Angkatan Darat Jerman|tank Jerman]] sebelumnya terutama dalam filosofi desainnya. Para pendahulunya menyeimbangkan mobilitas, [[Perisai kendaraan|perisai]] dan [[Firepower|daya tembak]], dan kadang-kadang dikalahkan oleh lawan-lawannya.
 
Meski berat, tank ini tidak lebih lambat dari yang terbaik dari lawan-lawannya. Namun, dengan bobot mati lebih dari 50 ton, suspensi, kotak roda gigi, dan barang-barang semacam itu jelas akan mencapai batas rangangannya dan kerusakan sering terjadi jika pemeliharaan rutin tidak dilakukan.
[[File:Tiger (P).svg|thumb|The Porsche prototype]]
On 26 May 1941, Henschel and Ferdinand Porsche were asked to submit designs for a 45&nbsp;tonne heavy tank, to be ready by June 1942.{{sfn|Green|2008|p=13}} Porsche worked on an updated version of their VK 30.01 (P) Leopard tank prototype while Henschel worked on an improved VK 36.01 (H) tank. Henschel built two prototypes: a VK 45.01 (H) H1 with an 88&nbsp;mm L/56 cannon, and a VK 45.01 (H) H2 with a 75&nbsp;mm L/70 cannon.
 
Meskipun desain dan tata ruang secara umum mirip dengan tank medium sebelumnya, [[Panzer IV]], Tiger memiliki berat lebih dari dua kali lipat. Ini karena pelindungnya yang jauh lebih tebal, [[Meriam tank|senjata utama]] yang lebih besar, volume bahan bakar dan penyimpanan amunisi yang lebih besar, mesin yang lebih besar, dan transmisi dan suspensi yang lebih kokoh.
On 22 June 1941, Germany launched [[Operation Barbarossa]], the invasion of the [[Soviet Union]]. The Germans were shocked to encounter Soviet [[T-34]] medium and [[KV-1 (tank)|KV-1]] heavy tanks that completely outclassed anything the Germans were currently fielding.{{sfn|Green|2008|p=14}} According to Henschel designer [[Erwin Aders]]: "There was great consternation when it was discovered that the Soviet tanks were superior to anything available to the [[German Army (Wehrmacht)|Heer]]."{{sfn|Carruthers|2013|loc=chapt. Design features}} The T-34 was almost immune from the front to every gun in German service except the 88&nbsp;mm Flak gun. Panzer IIIs with the [[5 cm KwK 38|5&nbsp;cm KwK 38 L/42]] main armament could penetrate the sides of a T-34, but only at short range. The KV-1 was immune to all but the 8.8&nbsp;cm Flak guns.
 
=== Lapisan baja ===
An immediate weight increase to 45&nbsp;tonnes and an increase in gun calibre to 88&nbsp;mm was ordered. The due date for the new prototypes was set for 20 April 1942, [[Adolf Hitler]]'s birthday. Unlike the [[Panther tank]], the designs did not incorporate [[sloping armour]], an innovation taken from the T-34.

Mulai Maret 1944, atap menara menebal menjadi {{Convert|40|mm|abbr=on}}.{{Sfn|Jentz|Doyle|1993|pp=8, 16}} Pelat lapis baja sebagian besar datar, dengan konstruksi yang saling terkait. Sambungan baju pelindung itu berkualitas tinggi, diinjak dan dilas daripada dipaku dan terbuat dari [[baja maraging]].
 
=== Meriam ===
Porsche and Henschel submitted prototype designs, each making use of the Krupp-designed turret. They were demonstrated at [[Rastenburg]] in front of Hitler. The Henschel design was accepted, mainly because the Porsche design used a troubled gasoline-electric hybrid power unit which needed large quantities of [[copper]], a strategic war material that Germany had limited supplies of.{{sfn|Jentz|Doyle|1993|p=6}} Production of the ''Panzerkampfwagen'' VI ''Ausf.'' H began in August 1942. Expecting an order for his tank, Porsche built 100 chassis. After losing the contract, they were used for a new turretless, [[casemate]]-style [[tank destroyer]]; 91 hulls were converted into the [[Elefant|''Panzerjäger'' Tiger (P)]] in the spring of 1943.
Meriam 8,8 cm KwK 36 sepanjang 56 kaliber dipilih untuk Tiger. Kombinasi lintasan tembakan datar yang dihasilkan oleh kecepatan peluru yang tinggi dan presisi dari pembidik Leitz ''Turmzielfernrohr'' TZF 9b (kemudian digantikan oleh [[Bermata satu|monokular]] TZF 9c) membuatnya sangat akurat. Dalam uji coba penembakan di masa perang oleh Inggris, lima perkenaan berturut-turut dicetak pada sasaran {{Convert|410|by|460|mm|abbr=on}} pada jarak {{Convert|1100|m}}.{{Sfn|Carruthers|2013|loc=chapt. Design features}} Dibandingkan dengan senjata tank Jerman kontemporer lainnya, 8,8 cm KwK 36 memiliki penetrasi superior dari [[7,5 cm KwK 40]] pada [[Sturmgeschütz III]] dan [[Panzer IV]] tetapi lebih rendah dari [[7,5 cm KwK 42]] pada [[tank Panther]] {{Sfn|Bird|Livingston|2001|p=61}} bawah jarak 2.500 meter. Pada jarak yang lebih jauh, 8,8 cm KwK 36 lebih unggul dalam penetrasi dan akurasi.
 
Amunisi untuk Tiger memiliki primer yang dipicu secara elektrik. Empat jenis amunisi tersedia tetapi tidak semuanya sepenuhnya tersedia. Peluru PzGr 40 menggunakan tungsten, yang semakin sedikit seiring berjalannya perang.
The Tiger was still at the prototype stage when it was first hurried into service, and therefore changes both large and small were made throughout the production run. A redesigned turret with a lower cupola was the most significant change. To cut costs, the submersion capability and an external air-filtration system were dropped.

Di bagian belakang tank terdapat kompartemen mesin yang diapit oleh dua kompartemen belakang terpisah yang masing-masing berisi tangki bahan bakar dan radiator. Jerman belum mengembangkan mesin diesel yang memadai, jadi mesin berbahan bakar bensin harus digunakan sebagai gantinya. Mesin asli yang digunakan adalah 21,35 liter (1303 cu.in.) 12-silinder [[Maybach]] HL 210 P45 yang memberikan tenaga 485 kW (650 hp) pada 3.000 rpm. Meskipun termasuk mesin yang bagus, mesin itu kurang bertenaga untuk tank Tiger. Dari Tiger ke-251 dan seterusnya, digantikan olehmesin [[Maybach HL230|HL 230]] P45 yang ditingkatkan, mesin 23,095 liter (1409 cu.in.) yang memberikan tenaga 521 kW (700 hp) pada 3.000 rpm.{{Sfn|Green|Brown|2008|p=41}} Perbedaan utama antara mesin-mesin ini adalah bahwa Maybach HL 210 asli menggunakan blok mesin aluminium sedangkan Maybach HL 230 menggunakan blok mesin besi. Blok besi tuang memungkinkan untuk silinder yang lebih besar (dan dengan demikian, perpindahan gas yang lebih besar) yang meningkatkan output daya menjadi 521 kW (700 hp). Mesin itu dalam bentuk V, dengan dua bank silinder diatur pada 60 derajat. [[Mesin pesawat mulai|Starter inersia]] dipasang di sisi kanannya, digerakkan melalui gigi rantai melalui sebuah lubang di dinding belakang. Mesin ini bisa diangkat melalui lubang di atap lambung belakang. Dibandingkan dengan V12 lainnya dan berbagai mesin bensin bentuk-vee yang digunakan untuk tank, mesin HL 230 hampir empat liter lebih kecil daripada mesin Britania [[Meteor Rolls-Royce|Rolls-Royce Meteor]] V12 AFV, yang diadaptasi dari RR Merlin tetapi diturunkan tenaganya menjadi 448 kW (600 hp), dan prekursor V12 yang dirancang Ford Amerika untuk mesin [[Mesin Ford GAA|Ford GAA]] V-8 AFV yang berkapasitas 18 liter, yang dalam bentuk V12 aslinya akan memiliki perpindahan sebesar 27 liter yang sama dengan Meteor.
 
Fitur baru lainnya adalah [[Pre-selector gearbox|kotak roda gigi pra-pemilih]] semi-otomatis yang [[Mesin hidrolik|dikendalikan secara hidrolik]] Maybach-Olvar. Akibat bobot yang ekstrem, tank ini juga membutuhkan sistem kemudi baru. [[Argus Motoren]] Jerman, tempat Hermann Klaue menemukan [[rem cincin]]<ref>[https://www.google.com/patents/US2323052 Disk brake for use in motor cars, airplanes, and the like] US Patent 2323052 A</ref> pada tahun 1940, memasoknya untuk [[Arado Ar 96]]<ref>[http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Waffen/Ar96.htm Arado Ar 96], ''Lexikon der Wehrmacht''.</ref> dan juga memasok cakram 55 cm.<ref>[http://www.alanhamby.com/transmission.shtml Transmission & Steering], Tiger I Information Center.</ref> Klaue mengakui dalam aplikasi paten bahwa ia hanya memperbaiki teknologi yang ada, yang dapat ditelusuri kembali ke desain Inggris yang berasal dari tahun 1904. Tidak jelas apakah rem cincin paten Klaue digunakan dalam desain rem Tiger.
A report prepared by the [[Waffenamt|Waffenamt-Prüfwesen 1]] gave the calculated probability of perforation at range, on which various adversaries would be defeated reliably at an angle of 30 degrees. It was estimated that the Tiger's 88&nbsp;mm gun would be capable of penetrating the differential case of an American M4 Sherman from {{convert|2100|m|mi|abbr=on}} and the turret front from {{convert|1800|m|mi|abbr=on}}, but the Tiger's 88&nbsp;mm gun would not penetrate the upper glacis plate at any range.{{sfn|Jentz|Doyle|1993|pp=19–20}} The M4 Sherman's 75&nbsp;mm gun would not penetrate the Tiger frontally at any range, and needed to be within 100&nbsp;m to achieve a side penetration against the 80&nbsp;mm upper hull superstructure.{{sfn|Jentz|Doyle|1993|pp=19–20}} The Sherman's upgraded [[76 mm gun M1|76&nbsp;mm gun]] would have the possibility to penetrate the Tiger's driver's front plate from 600&nbsp;m, the nose from 400&nbsp;m and the turret front from 700&nbsp;m.{{sfn|Jentz|Doyle|1993|pp=19–20}} The [[90 mm Gun M1/M2/M3|M3 90&nbsp;mm cannon]] used as a towed anti-aircraft and anti-tank gun, and later mounted in the [[M36 tank destroyer]] and finally the late-war [[M26 Pershing]], could penetrate the Tiger's front plate at a range of 1,000 m using standard ammunition, and from beyond 2,000 m when using HVAP.<ref name="freeweb1">{{cite web|url=http://gva.freeweb.hu/weapons/usa_guns7.html|title=USA Guns 90mm calibre|publisher=Gva.freeweb.hu|accessdate=2010-04-30}} {{Dead link |date=February 2015}}</ref>
 
Sistem kopling dan rem, tipikal untuk kendaraan yang lebih ringan, dipertahankan tetapi hanya untuk keadaan darurat. Biasanya, kemudi bergantung pada [[Diferensial (otomotif)|diferensial]] ganda, pengembangan Henschel dari sistem British [[David Brown Ltd.|Merritt-Brown]]{{Sfn|Green|Brown|2008|p=44}} yang pertama kali ditemui di [[tank Churchill]]. Kendaraan itu memiliki kotak roda gigi delapan kecepatan, dan kemudi menawarkan dua radius putar tetap pada masing-masing gigi, sehingga Tiger memiliki enam belas radius putaran berbeda. Pada gigi pertama, pada kecepatan beberapa km/jam, radius belokan minimal adalah {{Convert|3.44|m|ftin|abbr=on}}. Dalam gigi netral, roda rantai bisa diputar ke arah yang berlawanan, sehingga Tiger I berputar di tempatnya.{{Sfn|Green|Brown|2008|p=46}} Pada tank Tiger, dipasang kemudi roda alih-alih sebuah kemudi setang–atau, seperti yang dimiliki kebanyakan tank pada saat itu, tuas rem kembar–yang membuat sistem kemudi Tiger I mudah digunakan dan lebih maju dari zamannya.{{Sfn|Green|Brown|2008|p=44}}
Soviet ground trial testing conducted in May 1943 determined that the 88mm KwK 36 gun could pierce the T-34-76 frontal beam nose of 140&nbsp;mm thickness from 1500 m at 75 degrees, and the front hull from 1500 m at 70 degrees. A hit to the drivers hatch would force it to collapse inward and break apart.{{sfn|Baryatinsky|2008|pp=29–30}}{{sfn|Kolomiets|2013|p=92}}{{Efn|The data used here is from the Soviet Military Intelligence Service. With the capture of an intact Tiger at [[Operation Iskra|Lake Lagoda]] the Soviets obtained data regarding the Tiger's technical and tactical capabilities.

The British [[Churchill tank|Churchill IV]] would be vulnerable to the Tiger between {{convert|1100|and|1700|m|mi|abbr=on}}, its strongest point being the nose and its weakest the turret. According to an STT document dated April 1944, it was estimated that the British [[Ordnance QF 17 pounder|17-pounder]] as used on the [[Sherman Firefly]], firing its normal [[APCBC]] ammunition, would penetrate the turret front and driver's visor plate of the Tiger out to 1900 yards.{{sfn|Jentz|Doyle|1993|pp=19–20}}
Masalah utama dengan Tiger adalah bahwa produksinya membutuhkan sumber daya yang cukup besar dalam hal tenaga kerja dan material, yang membuatnya menjadi mahal: Harga Tiger I lebih dari dua kali lipat dari Panzer IV dan empat kali lebih banyak dari [[meriam serbu]] [[Sturmgeschütz III|StuG III]].<ref>[http://www.achtungpanzer.com/panzer-statistics.htm Panzer Statistics] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180108093434/http://www.achtungpanzer.com/panzer-statistics.htm |date=2018-01-08 }} ''achtungpanzer.com''</ref> Sebagian karena biayanya yang tinggi, hanya 1.347 Tiger I dan 492 Tiger II yang diproduksi.{{Sfn|Jentz|1996|p=288}} Saingan terdekat Tiger dari [[Amerika Serikat]] adalah [[M26 Pershing|Pershing M26]] (sekitar 200 unit dikerahkan ke [[Teater Operasi Eropa|Palagan Operasi Eropa]] (ETO) selama perang{{Sfn|Hunnicutt|1971}}) dan [[IS (famili tank)|IS-2]] dari [[Uni Soviet|URSS]] (sekitar 3.800 unit dibuat selama konflik).
 
Dari sudut pandang teknis, tank ini lebih unggul dari tank-tank sezamannya.{{Sfn|Zaloga|2015|p=204}} Meskipun jumlahnya sedikit, kekurangan kru yang berkualitas dan kebutuhan bahan bakar yang cukup besar dalam konteks sumber daya yang semakin menyusut, tank-tank Tiger memiliki dampak besar dalam perang dengan Tiger (termasuk Tiger II) menghancurkan setidaknya 10.300 tank musuh, dan 11.380 AT meriam dan artileri di PD2. Ini dicapai atas hilangnya 1.725 unit Tiger (termasuk kerugian operasional dan strategis dalam jumlah besar, yaitu ditinggalkan, dirusak, dll).<ref>{{Cite book|title=Operation Barbarossa : the complete organisational and statistical analysis, and military simulation|last=Askey|first=Nigel|publisher=IngramSparks Publishing|isbn=9780648221920|pages=103}}</ref>
When engaging targets Tiger crews were encouraged to angle the hull position 45 degrees to the ''Mahlzeit Stellung'' of 10 ½ or 1 ½ o'clock. This would maximize the effective front hull armour to 180mm and side hull to 140mm, making the Tiger impervious to any allied gun up to 152&nbsp;mm.<ref>[http://s14.directupload.net/images/141103/qo72ng3d.jpg ''Tigerfibel'' p84-85]</ref>{{sfn|Bird|Livingston|2001|p=83}} Unlike the lighter [[Panzer IV]] and [[Panther tank]]s, the Tiger's thick side armour allowed a degree of confidence of immunity from attack from flanking threats. The tank was also immune from Soviet [[anti-tank rifle]] fire to the sides and rear. Its large caliber 8.8&nbsp;cm provided superior fragmentation and high explosive content over the [[7.5 cm KwK 42]] gun. Therefore, comparing the Tiger with the Panther, for supporting the infantry and destroying fortifications, the Tiger offered superior firepower. It was also key to dealing with the greatest threat to any tank, towed antitank guns.{{citation needed|date=November 2014}}
 
== Sejarah dinas ==
{{quotation| The destruction of an antitank gun was often accepted as nothing special by lay people and soldiers from other branches. Only the destruction of other tanks counted as a success. On the other hand, antitank guns counted twice as much to the experienced tanker. They were much more dangerous to us. The antitank cannon waited in ambush, well camouflaged, and magnificently set up in the terrain. Because of that, it was very difficult to identify. It was also very difficult to hit because of its low height. Usually, we didn't make out the antitank guns until they had fired the first shot. We were often hit right away, if the antitank crew was on top of things, because we had run into a wall of antitank guns. It was then advisable to keep as cool as possible and take care of the enemy, before the second aimed shot was fired. |Otto Carius|Tigers in the Mud|p. 118}}

Eager to make use of the powerful new weapon, Hitler ordered the vehicle be pressed into service months earlier than planned.{{sfn|Guderian|1952|p=280}} A platoon of four Tigers was put into action on 23 September 1942 near [[Siege of Leningrad|Leningrad]].{{sfn|Showalter|2013|p=48}} Operating in swampy, forested terrain their movement was largely confined to roads and tracks, making defense against them far easier. Many of these early models were plagued by problems with the transmission, which had difficulty handling the heavy weight of the vehicle if pushed too hard. It took time for drivers to learn how to avoid over taxing the engine and transmission, and many broke down. The most significant event from this engagement was that one of the Tigers became stuck in swampy ground and had to be abandoned. Captured largely intact, it allowed the Soviets to study the design and prepare countermeasures.{{sfn|Glantz|2005|p=201}}
 
Untuk memamerkan senjata barunya, Hitler memerintahkan untuk penekanan awal bertugas ke garis depan.{{sfn|Guderian|1952|p=280}} Sebuah peleton dari empat Tiger beraksi mulai di [[Pengepungan Leningrad]].{{sfn|Showalter|2013|p=48}} Bertugas di medan rawa dan hutan membuat Tiger kesulitan bergerak tetapi bisa bertahan dengan mudah.
A [[503rd heavy tank battalion (Germany)|battalion of Tigers]] was deployed to the Don Front in the autumn of 1942, but arrived too late to participate in the attack to relieve Stalingrad, (Operation [[Operation Winter Storm|''Winter Storm'']]). It was subsequently engaged in heavy defensive fighting in the [[Rostov-on-Don]] and adjacent sectors in January and February 1943.
 
Tiger-Tiger ini rata-rata dibuat untuk bentuk medan Front Timur sehingga lebih banyak Tiger I di Front Timur dibandingakan dengan yang berada di Front Barat maupun di Afrika Utara. Di Front Timur juga Tiger I menunjukkan kegagahannya namun tak terlalu lama, karena banyak versi-versi awal Tiger I ini banyak yang mogok dan tertangkap oleh pihak Soviet sehingga akhirnya Soviet memelajari Tiger dan mempersiapkan tank baru yang dapat menandingi tank Tiger.
In the North African theatre, the Tiger first saw action during the [[Tunisia Campaign]] on 1 December 1942 east of [[Tebourba]].{{sfn|Schneider|2000|p=41}} The first loss to an Allied gun was on 20 January 1943 near [[Robaa]]{{sfn|Schneider|2000|p=42}} when a battery of the British 72nd Anti-tank Regiment knocked out two Tigers with their [[Ordnance QF 6 pounder|6-pounder (57 mm) anti-tank guns]]. The failed attack on [[Béja]] at the end of February saw seven Tigers lost in the "Panzer Graveyard".{{sfn|Schneider|2000|p=43}}
 
Sedangkan di Front Afrika Utara tank Tiger kali pertama bertugas saat [[Kampanye Tunisia]] pada awal Desember 1942.{{sfn|Schneider|2000|p=41}} Tank ini tidak banyak berperan di utara Afrika karena hanya sedikit tank Tiger yang di tugaskan di sana dan karena Hitler lebih fokus untuk medan pertempuran di Rusia.

=== Para "Penghancur Tank" ===
The tank's weight significantly limited its use of bridges. For this reason, the Tiger was built with water tight hatches and a [[Submarine snorkel|snorkel]] device that allowed it to [[Ford (crossing)|ford]] water obstacles four metres deep. The tank's weight also made driving through buildings risky, as the presence of a cellar could result in a sudden drop. Another weakness was the slow traverse of the hydraulically operated turret. Due to reliability problems with the Maybach HL 210 TRM P45, which was delivered within the first production batch of 250 Tigers, performance for its maximum power output at high gear ratio could not be fulfilled.<ref name="alanhamby.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.alanhamby.com/maybach.shtml|title=Tiger I Information Center - The Maybach Engine|work=alanhamby.com}}</ref> Though the Maybach engines had a maximum of 3,000 rpm, crews were told in the ''[[Tigerfibel]]'' not to exceed 2,600 rpm. The engine limitation was alleviated only by the adoption of the Maybach HL 230.<ref name="alanhamby.com"/> A British Army test report showed that the turret on the Tiger E tank turned 360 degrees in 19 seconds with its power traverse system set at high ratio and with the engine speed at 2000 revolutions per minute (rpm).{{sfn|Green|Brown|2008|p=86}} The turret could also be traversed manually, but this option was rarely used, except for very small adjustments.{{sfn|Carruthers|2013}}
[[Berkas:Bundesarchiv Bild 101III-Groenert-019-23A, Schlacht um Kursk, Panzer VI (Tiger I).jpg|jmpl|Tank Tiger I menembak target di [[Pertempuran Kursk]]]]
Pada awal bulan Juli 1943, sebuah Tank Tiger yang di komandani oleh SS-Oberscharführer [[Franz Staudegger]] dari platon ke-2, kompi panzer 13, [[Divisi Panzer SS Leibstandarte|Divisi Panzer SS ''Leibstandarte'']] menyerang gerombolan 50 T-34 di wilayah [[Psyolknee]] (selatan front Pertempuran Kursk). Staudegger mengklaim telah menghancurkan sekitar 22 tank dengan menghabiskan seluruh pelurunya dan sisanya yang mundur ditembaki oleh anak buahnya. untuk itu dia mendapatkan mendali [[Salib Kesatria dari Salib Besi]].
 
Banyak komandan Tank Tiger mengklaim telah menghantam lebih dari 100 tank di medan perang, salah satunya [[Kurt Knispel]] dengan 168, [[Otto Carius]] sekitar 150 keatas, [[Johannes Bölter]] lebih dari 139, dan [[Michael Wittmann]] ada 138.<ref>[http://www.alanhamby.com/aces.shtml Tiger Aces] alanhamby.com</ref>
Early Tigers had a top speed of about {{convert|45|km/h|mph}} over optimal terrain. This was not recommended for normal operation, and was discouraged in training. An engine governor was subsequently installed, capping the engine at 2,600 rpm and the Tiger's maximum speed to about {{convert|38|km/h|mph}}. However, medium tanks of the time, such as the Sherman or T-34, had an average a top speed of about {{convert|45|km/h|mph}}. Thus, despite the Tiger being nearly twice as heavy, its speed was comparatively respectable.{{sfn|Carruthers|2013}}
 
== Varian ==
[[File:Bundesarchiv Bild 101I-024-3536-28, Kreta, Panzer VI (Tiger I), Reparatur.jpg|thumb|A Tiger undergoing engine repairs]]
Di antara varian lain Tiger, terdapat sebuah pelontar roket swa-gerak berlapis baja, dikenal sebagai Sturmtiger. Sebuah versi pemulihan tank dari Porsche Tiger I, dan satu Porsche Tiger I, dikeluarkan untuk Batalyon Destroyer Tank Berat 654, yang dilengkapi dengan [[Ferdinand / Elefant|Ferdinand/Elefant]]. Di Italia, varian zeni dari Tiger I tanpa senjata utama dibuat oleh kru pemeliharaan dalam upaya untuk menemukan cara membersihkan ladang ranjau. Varian ini sering salah diidentifikasikan sebagai [[kendaraan pemulihan Bergetiger]].
With the tank's very wide tracks, a design feature borrowed from the Soviet T-34, the Tiger had a lower ground pressure than many smaller tanks, such as the M4 Sherman.
 
Varian lain adalah tank Tiger Fahrschulpanzer VI (tank latihan). Tank-tank ini adalah dilengkapi dengan mesin yang dimodifikasi untuk dijalankan pada gas terkompresi (Sistem Stadtgas) atau gas kayu (Sistem Holzgas). Hal ini dilakukan karena kekurangan pasokan bahan bakar. Tank latihan tersebut menggunakan campuran lambung berkubah dan tanpa kubah. Tank latihan tersebut digunakan untuk melatih awak tank Tiger dan tidak digunakan dalam pertempuran.<br />
The Tiger had reliability problems throughout its service life. Tiger units often entered combat understrength due to breakdowns. More importantly, the tank's fuel consumption meant that it had a limited operational range.

{| class="wikitable"
Tiger tanks needed a high degree of support. It required two or sometimes three of the standard German [[Sd.Kfz. 9|Sd.Kfz. 9 ''Famo'']] heavy recovery half-track tractors to tow it. Tiger crews often resorted to using another Tiger to tow the damaged vehicle, but this was not recommended as this often caused overheating and engine breakdown. The low-mounted sprocket limited the obstacle clearance height. The tracks also had a tendency to override the rear sprocket, resulting in immobilisation. If a track overrode and jammed, two Tigers were normally needed to tow the tank. The jammed track was also a big problem itself, since due to high tension, it was often impossible to split the track by removing the track pins. The track sometimes had to be blown apart with a small explosive charge.

== Tank yang tersisa ==
Tigers were usually employed in separate [[German Heavy Panzer Detachment|heavy tank battalions]] (''schwere Panzer-Abteilung'') under army command. These battalions would be deployed to critical sectors, either for breakthrough operations or, more typically, counter-attacks. A few favoured divisions, such as the ''[[Großdeutschland Division|Grossdeutschland]]'', and the [[Leibstandarte|1st SS ''Leibstandarte'' Adolf Hitler]], [[2nd SS Panzer Division Das Reich|2nd SS ''Das Reich'']], and [[3rd SS Division Totenkopf|3rd SS ''Totenkopf'' Panzergrenadier Division]]s at Kursk, had a Tiger company in their tank regiments. The ''Grossdeutschland'' Division had its Tiger company increased to a battalion as the III Panzer Battalion of the Panzer Regiment ''Grossdeutschland''. 3rd SS ''Totenkopf'' retained its Tiger I company through the entire war. 1st SS and 2nd SS had their Tiger companies taken away and incorporated into the 101st SS Tiger Battalion, which was part of 1st SS Panzer Corps.{{sfn|Wilbeck|2004|pp=25, 99}}
 
=== Tiger 131 ===
The Tiger was originally designed to be an offensive breakthrough weapon, but by the time they went into action, the military situation had changed dramatically, and their main use was on the defensive, as mobile anti-tank and infantry gun support weapons.{{sfn|Wilbeck|2004|pp=25, 99}} Tactically, this also meant moving the Tiger units constantly to parry breakthroughs, causing excessive mechanical wear. As a result, there are almost no instances where a Tiger battalion went into combat at anything close to full strength.
Pada 21 April 1943, sebuah Tiger I dari [[batalion tank berat Jerman]] ke-504, dengan nomor kubah meriam 131, ditangkap di sebuah bukit bernama Djebel Djaffa di Tunisia. Tembakan meriam [[Ordnance QF 6-pounder|6 pon]] tank Churchill dari [[Resimen Tank Royal ke-48|Resimen Tank Kerajaan]] Inggris [[Resimen Tank Royal ke-48|ke-48]] menghantam laras meriam Tiger dan memantul ke cincin kubahnya, menghambat putarannya dan melukai komandan. Awak menyelamatkan diri, kemudian tank ditangkap.{{Sfn|Carruthers|2000}} Setelah perbaikan, tank dikirim ke Inggris untuk pemeriksaan menyeluruh.
 
Tank yang ditangkap secara resmi diserahkan ke [[Museum Tangki Bovington|Bovington Tank Museum]] oleh [[Kementerian Pemasok|Kementerian Pasokan Inggris]] pada 25 September 1951. Pada Juni 1990, tank dipindahkan dari tampilan di museum dan pekerjaan dimulai pada restorasi. Ini dilakukan oleh museum dan [[Organisasi Perbaikan Pangkalan Angkatan Darat]] dan melibatkan pembongkaran tank yang hampir lengkap. Mesin HL230 Maybach dari museum Tiger II dipasang (Maybach HL210 asli milik Tiger telah dipisah untuk tampilan<ref>[http://www.tiger-tank.com/secure/journal41.htm The Tiger Tank Restoration project – "Our Tiger" Journal]{{Pranala mati|date=Maret 2021 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>), bersama dengan sistem pemadam api modern di kompartemen mesin. Pada Desember 2003, Tiger 131 kembali ke museum, dipulihkan dan dalam kondisi berjalan. Tiger ini digunakan dalam film [[Fury (film 2014)|''Fury'']], pertama kali Tiger I asli yang dapat dioperasikan secara mekanis sepenuhnya telah muncul dalam sebuah film sejak Perang Dunia II.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-24987676|title=BBC News – 'Last' WW2 Tiger tank to be used in Brad Pitt film|website=BBC News}}</ref>
Some Tiger units exceeded the 10:1 kill ratio, including ''13. Kompanie/Panzer-Regiment Großdeutschland'' (16.67:1), ''[[schwere SS-Panzer-Abteilung 103]]'' (12.82:1) and ''schwere [[Schwere SS-Panzer-Abteilung 502|Panzer-Abteilung 502]]'' (13.08:1).{{citation needed|date=October 2015|reason=High probability of kill claims to be exaggerated. Need some sources here.}} Against the Soviet and Western Allied production numbers, even a 10:1 kill ratio was not sufficient. These numbers must be set against the [[opportunity cost]] of the expensive Tiger. Every Tiger cost as much to build as four ''[[Sturmgeschütz III]]'' assault guns.

Banyak komponen besar telah diselamatkan selama bertahun-tahun, tetapi penemuan kendaraan yang kurang lebih dan umumnya lengkap sejauh ini menghindari penggemar kendaraan lapis baja dan pengumpul tank. Selain Tiger 131, enam tank Tiger I lainnya bertahan hingga April 2018 di lokasi-lokasi berikut:
On 7 July 1943, a single Tiger tank commanded by SS-Oberscharführer [[Franz Staudegger]] from the 2nd Platoon, 13th Panzer Company, [[1st SS Division Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler|1st SS Panzer Division ''Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler'']] engaged a group of about 50 T-34s around Psyolknee (the southern sector of the German salient in the Battle of Kursk). Staudegger used all his ammunition and claimed the destruction of 22 Soviet tanks, while the rest retreated. For this, he was awarded the [[Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross|Knight's Cross]].{{sfn|Agte|2006|pp=103–105}}
 
* [[Musée des Blindés]] di [[Saumur]], [[Prancis]]. Pameran dalam ruangan dalam kondisi baik. Versi pertengahan produksi (1944) dengan roda jalan tipe baja tumpang tindih yang diadopsi dari Tiger II dan dilengkapi dengan trek transportasi yang sempit. Tiger ini adalah bagian dari kompi ke-2 dari [[Batalyon Panzer Berat SS 102]] yang bertempur di sektor [[Cauville]] dan kemudian ditinggalkan oleh krunya setelah kerusakan mekanis. Dia diangkat kembali sebagai ''Colmar'' dengan skuadron ke-2 [[Resimen Cuirassier ke-6 (Prancis)|Resimen Cuirassier]] Prancis [[Resimen Cuirassier ke-6 (Prancis)|ke-6]] dan bergabung dengan unit baru itu dalam pertempuran sepanjang perjalanan kembali ke Jerman.
The Tiger is particularly associated with ''SS-Hauptsturmführer'' [[Michael Wittmann]] of [[101st SS Heavy Panzer Detachment|''schwere SS-Panzerabteilung'' 101]]. He worked his way up, commanding various vehicles and finally a Tiger I. In the [[Battle of Villers-Bocage]], his platoon destroyed over two dozen Allied vehicles, including several tanks.
