HISTORY ASPECTS: The Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf E, commonly known as the Tiger I, was a heavy tank used by the German Army during World War II. It was introduced in 1942 and quickly gained a reputation as a formidable opponent on the battlefield. The Tiger I was armed with an 88mm gun, which was one of the most powerful guns of the war, and had heavy armor that made it difficult to destroy. One of the most famous Tiger I tanks is the Tiger 131, which was captured by British forces in Tunisia in 1943.
