===Arcade Only Air Maps===
These maps are (under normal circumstances) only available in Air Arcade Battles. They tend to be small in size compared to other maps (32 km x 32 km or less), and usually contain unrealistic or exaggerated terrain features, to make combat more interesting. They do not aim to recreate real-world locations, although they may take inspiration from them.

===General Air Maps===
Most of these maps have configurations for all three air game modes (Arcade, Realistic, and Simulator). They are larger than Arcade maps, generally being between 64 km x 64 km and 131 km x 131 km, with a couple of exceptions. All of these maps are based off of real world locations; the level of accuracy varies between maps, but in general they tend to be reasonably accurate to the real world. Some of these maps are re-used to form the air battles area of tank maps.

As the war began the fortress was manned again and reconditioning works started. However, nothing of protective or repair works had been finished at the time it was bombed. The last of the garrison defenders have been standing against approaching enemy army.

Located in Brest, Belarus; the fort can be divided into three perimeters. The first perimeter of the form comes in the form of two ditches with a mound in-between them, running round most of the fort. Then comes the fort's outer wall, a mixture of mud and bricks, there are plenty of gaps in the wall allowing access, and a number of fortified buildings outside the wall. Finally comes the surroundings of the forts, where a large number of hills can provide cover for flanking units.

== Description ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a premium rank {{Specs|rank}} German motor torpedo boat {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Drone Age"]].

== General info ==
=== Survivability and armour ===
{{Specs-Fleet-Armour}}

''Talk about the vehicle's armour. Note the most well-defended and most vulnerable zones, e.g. the ammo magazine. Evaluate the composition of components and assemblies responsible for movement and manoeuvrability. Evaluate the survivability of the primary and secondary armaments separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Save tips on preserving survivability for the "Usage in battles" section. If necessary, use a graphical template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.''

=== Mobility ===
{{Specs-Fleet-Mobility}}

''Write about the ship's mobility. Evaluate its power and manoeuvrability, rudder rerouting speed, stopping speed at full tilt, with its maximum forward and reverse speed.''

{{NavalMobility}}

=== Modifications and economy ===
{{Specs-Economy}}

== Armament ==
{{Specs-Fleet-Armaments}}
=== Primary armament ===
{{Specs-Fleet-Primary}}

{{main|MG 151 (15 mm)}}

The 15mm MG 151 is an excellent gun, with an impressive fire rate of 750 rounds/minute, allowing it to easily shred boats and aircraft on it's BR.

It has two types of ammunition, an API shell that has great penetration and incendiary capablities, which can penetrate the armored turrets of some higher BR boats and even some frigates. The second is the HEI shell, which deals a massive amount of damage to enemy boats, destroying compartments and has a high chance of setting fires. It is also excellent against enemy aircraft, with a short burst capable of downing an enemy dive bomber. The gun is mounted on a turret that has excellent firing angles and traverse speed, which makes it easy for the KM-5 to lead and destroy enemy targets.

=== Secondary armament ===
{{Specs-Fleet-Secondary}}

{{main|MG34 (7.92 mm)}}

The secondary armament of the KM-5 consists of two MG-34 machine guns on a twin mount located directly on the back of the 15mm MG 151 turret. There are 3000 rounds of ammunition available for the turret, with 1500 for each gun.

The MG 34s are good against enemy aircraft and enemy boats found at the BR the KM-5 is in. It has an excellent rate of fire of 900 rounds/minute, causing it to have a decent damage output despite it only being rifle caliber. However the MG34's small caliber will prove as a weakness, as it makes it hard to do meaningful damage to larger boats, having no explosive filler.

=== Additional armament ===
{{Specs-Fleet-Additional}}

{{main|LT 1A/1 (450 mm)}}

''Describe the available additional armaments of the ship: depth charges, mines, torpedoes. Talk about their positions, available ammunition and launch features such as dead zones of torpedoes. If there is no additional armament, remove this section.''

== Usage in battles ==

''Describe the technique of using this ship, the characteristics of her use in a team and tips on strategy. Abstain from writing an entire guide – don't try to provide a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought. Talk about the most dangerous opponents for this vehicle and provide recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of playing with this vehicle in various modes (AB, RB, SB).''

=== Pros and cons ===

''Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".''

== History ==
[[File:KM-5 historical.jpg|thumb|KM-5, armed with torpedoes.]]
''The KM-5 (Küsten-Minenleger-5) is one of the KM-class (KM1-KM36) built as a minelayer by Germany in World War II. KM-class boats were built to lay mines on enemy coastlines, but because of the unreliability of the engines, they were used in the lakes, rivers and coastal areas of the Eastern Front. As a result, 20 of the 36 ships in the KM series were stripped of mines and modified to be fitted with torpedo tubes. KM-5 is one of them. The other 16 were used as minesweepers. Most of the KM-class boats remained until the end of the war and were requisitioned by the Soviet Union. KM-5 was laid down in 1942 by Roland Shipyard located in Bremen, northern Germany, launched in 1942, and entered service on August 8, 1942, and was deployed to Lake Ladoga, Europe's largest lake, located in''
''Estonia, and then to Lake Peipus, on the Estonian-Russian border. It was disposed of by self-scuttling. On July 3, 1944, she was levitated near Kastre, Estonia, and was captured by the Soviet Union at Ventspils, Latvia in May 1945.''

== History ==

By 1910, navies around the world were moving towards guns that were larger than 12 inches in calibre and Germany was not one to get left behind in the global naval arms race. Britain's condemnation of German "gunboat diplomacy" during the Agadir Crisis in 1911 gave Alfred von Tirpitz, State Secretary of the Riechsmarineamt (Imperial Navy Office), the needed justification to persuade the Reichstag (Imperial Diet or Parliament) to get further funding to make warships with larger calibre guns to face the Royal Navy. Tirpitz first considered arming what would become [[SMS Bayern|''Bayern''-class]] with 13.6 inch (34 cm) guns, but designers soon found that 25% hit chance would be gained from up-gunning to 15-inch (38 cm) guns and so the decision was made to arm the SMS ''Bayern'' and her sister ships with the SK L/45.

The largest guns to be made by Imperial Germany, the SK L/45 would ironically have amore noteworthy career on land then at sea. The Germans began prioritize their new U-boats when World War I started leading to the SMS ''Bayern'' and her sister ship SMS ''Baden'' to be the last dreadnoughts to enter service. Too late to see action at the decisive 1916 Battle of Jutland, there was little opportunity for naval action for the SK L/45 which was nicknamed "Langer Max" (Long Max) by the Germans. However, it found a quite successful career as a railway gun and artillery battery. Needing to break the stalemate on the Western Front, Germany decided to take the guns from their low-priority ''Bayern''-class dreadnoughts, and adapt them as siege artillery in concrete casemates. In capacity, the Langer Max provided the opening salvo of Germany's artillery bombardment during the Battle of Verdun in 1916. Later for the 1918 Ludendorff Offensive, the concrete casemates were replaced with faster to build steel casemates. One of these cannons assigned to Saxon Battery 1015 was used in July 1918 to fire 141 shots from the French town of Bésu-Saint-Germain.

However, these concrete emplacements were time-consuming in construction so for expediency and better mobility, some of the guns were adapted to serve as railway guns during World War I. Fitted with a large counterweight near the trunnions for stability, the gun suffered from some drawbacks. Specifically it was only capable of being loaded at zero degrees elevation meaning it had to re-aimed after each shot, its range at 24,300 yards was relatively short, and it could only fire at elevations below 18.5 degrees to avoid the breech hitting the ground during the recoil action. Worn-out barrels of the L/45 along with the railway carriage built by Krupp would both be used for construction of the infamous Paris Gun. The railway gun variants were used during the Spring Offensive of 1918 and during the Second Battle of the Marne later that year. 8 railway guns were built in total with 7 being destroyed after the war by the Inter-Allied Commission of Control enforcing the Treaty of Versailles' ban on such artillery pieces and the lone survivor was captured by the Belgian Army while serving in a coastal defense role as part of Battery Pommern at Koekelare on October 16th, 1918. The gun was later given to France for testing in 1924 and was recaptured by the Germans in 1940 during World War II, though it did not appear to see service.

== Air Forces Maps ==


===Arcade Only Air Maps===
These maps are (under normal circumstances) only available in Air Arcade Battles. They tend to be small in size compared to other maps (32 km x 32 km or less), and usually contain unrealistic or exaggerated terrain features, to make combat more interesting. They do not aim to recreate real-world locations, although they may take inspiration from them.

===General Air Maps===
Most of these maps have configurations for all three air game modes (Arcade, Realistic, and Simulator). They are larger than Arcade maps, generally being between 64 km x 64 km and 131 km x 131 km, with a couple of exceptions. All of these maps are based off of real world locations; the level of accuracy varies between maps, but in general they tend to be reasonably accurate to the real world. Some of these maps are re-used to form the air battles area of tank maps.

===Ground Forces Air Maps===
These maps are the Air Battles area of their respective Tank Maps. As well as being used in combined arms battles, some are also used as standalone maps in air battles (AB, RB & SB), in these cases the tank battles area forms part of the scenery of the map. Being based off tank maps they are a mixture of historically accurate and fictional locations. Maps tend to be 65 km x 65 km, although some are smaller and some are bigger.

=== Offensive armament ===
{{Specs-Avia-Offensive}}

{{main|DEFA 553 (30 mm)}}

The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is armed with:

* A choice between two presets:
** 2 x 30 mm DEFA 553 cannons, belly-mounted (150 rpg = 300 total)
** 2 x 30 mm DEFA 553 cannons + 252 x countermeasures

=== Suspended armament ===

{{main|Matra R550 Magic 1|AS-30L Nord|SNEB type 23|TBA ECC|TBA Multi-Dart 100 AB}}

The '''Jaguar E''' can be equipped with the following ordnance:

* Without load
* 2 x Matra R550 Magic 1 missiles
* 8 x 400 kg SAMP Type 21 bombs (3,200 kg total)
* 11 x 250 kg SAMP Type 25 bombs (2,750 kg total)
* 2 x 400 kg BGL-400 bombs (800 kg total)
* 2 x 970 kg BGL-1000 bombs (1,940 kg total)
* 2 x AS-30L Nord missiles
* 16 x TBA ECC rockets
* 16 x TBA Multi-Dart 100 AB rockets
* 108 x SNEB type 23 rockets
* 144 x SNEB type 23 rockets

== Usage in battles ==

''Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).''

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Good manoeuvrability once suspended armament is disposed of
* Has two pilots, which decreases the risk of losing the aircraft if a pilot is knocked out
* Healthy amount of countermeasures
* Wide variety of air-to-ground loadout options, including laser-guided bombs
* Access to very effective Matra R550 Magic 1 air-to-air missiles

'''Cons:'''

* Top speed and acceleration are mediocre
* Poor energy retention, bleeds quite a lot of speed in turns
* Performance is significantly crippled while carrying big bombload
* Has neither radar nor radar warning receiver

== History ==

''Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: <nowiki>https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History</nowiki>) and add a link to it here using the <code>main</code> template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <code><nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki></code>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code>. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under <code><nowiki>=== In-game description ===</nowiki></code>, also if applicable).''

== Media ==

''Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.''

As the war began the fortress was manned again and reconditioning works started. However, nothing of protective or repair works had been finished at the time it was bombed. The last of the garrison defenders have been standing against approaching enemy army.

Located in Brest, Belarus; the fort can be divided into three perimeters. The first perimeter of the form comes in the form of two ditches with a mound in-between them, running round most of the fort. Then comes the fort's outer wall, a mixture of mud and bricks, there are plenty of gaps in the wall allowing access, and a number of fortified buildings outside the wall. Finally comes the surroundings of the forts, where a large number of hills can provide cover for flanking units.

}}

== Description ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a premium gift rank {{Specs|rank}} Japanese heavy tank {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced along with the initial Japanese Ground Forces tree in [[Update 1.65 "Way of the Samurai"]]. The Heavy Tank No.6 was initially made available as a pre-order [[wt:en/news/4379-japanese-pre-order-packs-en|premium pack]] for the release of the Japanese tree and was discontinued after the [[wt:en/news/6263-shop-war-thunder-summer-sale-en|2019 Summer sales]].

This Japanese vehicle performance-wise is identical to the German [[Tiger E]], but its firepower selection is identical to the [[Tiger H1]]. Heavy Tank No. 6 is an early Tiger E, featuring a late Tiger H1 turret on a mid production Tiger E hull. It still lacks the 80 mm turret ring protection and the improved turret-top armour. otherwise it is identical to the Tiger E.

Turret armour has been improved a bit - large, flat commander's cupola has been replaced by a much smaller, angled variant. Gun mantlet is slightly more durable as well, there is now a small area of 140 mm thick armour, where it used to be the weakest part. Spare tracks now cover the entire lower plate. Lastly, Heavy Tank No. 6 is powered by a slightly more powerful engine (700 HP, H1 has 650 HP).

== General info ==
=== Survivability and armour ===
{{Specs-Tank-Armour}}

[[File:TigerIHTank Armour Angling.png|right|thumbnail|The ideal angling of hull armour on Tiger I for maximum effective armour all-around|300px]]
One may feel the need to charge head-on into battle, blaring that 88 mm gun as shells bounce off the front armour while the ''Schachtellaufwerk'' suspension system runs over the ground; this is a short-lived strategy.

The Tiger I should be played more as a bulky medium tank rather than a heavy tank despite its status, supporting allies from the sideline or from a distance rather than leading directly from the front. This is due to the poor armour arrangement with its "boxy" features, providing no sloping benefits alone. One must remain a distance, exploit the 88 mm long-distance power, and maintain a diamond-shape compound angling to maximize armour thickness against the trailing enemy shells that will inevitably come towards the Tiger's way.

'''Armour type:'''

*Rolled homogeneous armour
*Cast homogeneous armour (Gun mantlet, Cupola)

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Armour !! Front (Slope angle) !! Sides !! Rear (Slope angle) !! Roof

'''Notes:'''

*Commander's cupola is smaller and nicely rounded for better protection compared to [[Tiger H1|Tiger H1]].
*Almost entire frontal lower plate is covered by attached tracks, adding 30 mm of armour.
*Turret front covered by gun mantlet has variable thickness depending on exact place, ranging from 90 to 200 mm of armour.
*Lower side hull armour is only 62 mm thick, exploitable when flanking the Tiger, Heavy Tank No. 6, or when facing them angled.
*Parts of the turret side armour are covered by attached tracks, adding additional 30 mm of armour.

* '''PzGr 39''' The go-to shell for all Tiger drivers as this is arguably the best. It will do incredible damage to any tank shot by it, except SPAA, or any extremely thin armoured vehicles. Heavier tanks like the IS-1, IS-2, or American heavy tanks are able to resist the round at longer ranges, but well placed shots from close range or sides will do the job. All other medium and light tanks will be history as soon as this shell make a contact with them. This shell, however, will almost always over-penetrate all but the most armoured SPAA vehicles, so it is best to use HE or machine gun fire on thin-skinned vehicles.
* '''PzGr ''' This shell is also very useful. It has very similar characteristics as PzGr 39, but sacrifices some penetration for about 50% more Explosive Filler, meaning even more damage than already powerful PzGr 39. It is recommended to carry some of these shells and use them regularly, as the penetration is still enough to deal with most targets (at least when being downtiered), and switch to PzGr 39 when shooting targets far away, or those that are heavily armoured.
* '''Sprgr. 39''' The HE shell is completely ineffective against all but SPAA or the AI artillery on the Kursk and Ash River maps, and the machine gun mounted on the Tiger has proven quite capable of dealing with these. Keep a small supply of this shell on hand if planning to flank the enemy and take out their SPAA or artillery, but avoid them for everything else.
* '''Hl.Gr. 39''' On paper the HEAT rounds don't bring anything new to the table, however they can be used as a substitute for the HE shells due to the greater explosive mass and still gives you a fighting chance if you get caught with your pants down.

== Usage in battles ==


'''The main role''' of the ''Heavy Tank No. 6'' was to eliminate enemy tanks at a far range, similar to behaving like a sniping tank, or a Tank Destroyer. Nonetheless the ''Heavy Tank No. 6'' can excel at brawling with other tanks at medium, even possibly against two Panther Tanks to close range and escape undamaged. Its recommended not stay in one place for too long or risk getting outflanked, spotted, or bombed.

The Soviet 85 mm D-5T cannon can easily penetrate you at close range, while you stay nearly invulnerable at long range. The 88 can take out any tank on Rank III at any combat range but may have problems with the IS-1's 120 mm front armour at some ranges. When having to close in a bit it is generally advisable to angle your hull to the sides by about 30°, that keeps away 85 mm shells very well, even at closer ranges. The Heavy Tank No. 6 is still vulnerable to the Su-152s howitzer and its HE shell at any range, whenever encountering this tank, it should be prioritized and eliminated first.

Mobility wise the Heavy Tank No. 6 is still pretty good for a heavy tank, it is much faster than a KV-1 and about equally fast as the IS-1, although the T-34/85 can easily outmanoeuvre all three at close range. Try to use your mobility to keep your distance, even by falling back if necessary as the Heavy Tank No. 6 cannot survive close range engagements due to the slow turret and the vulnerability to the 85 mm guns on soviet tanks.

The Heavy Tank No. 6 has a very bad turret traverse, it is recommended to get the traverse modification as fast as possible. Even then, you will have to turn the tank completely most of the time to quickly engage a target. This, together with very exposed ammo racks on both sides means that facing several enemies at once is almost a certain end to a Heavy Tank No. 6. The best option is to take cover from one tank and fire on the other. Parts research is recommended for new users as if the horizontal aiming drive is damaged, you're basically done if you can't move in time.

As far as ammo is concerned, the default AP For AB it is recommended to use 3-5 rounds of AP Upgrading the tank should mainly be dedicated to turret traverse, hull traverse (as this is needed even with the turret traverse upgrade) and engine upgrades. The Heavy Tank No. 6 88mm has massive destructive power, unlike any other German tank of its rank, all armed with a 75 mm gun (Except the "Dicker Max" and "Nashorn"), the Heavy Tank No. 6 can easily knock out all T-34s with a single shot and still a good number of IS-1s, albeit endangering itself in the process. If it doesn't most of the crew will be wounded and the ammo is likely to explode your tank. The best place to aim with the 88 is either at the gunner's side of the enemy turret, or between the driver and the gunner, usually wounding or knocking out most of the enemy crew at once. From the side, the best spot, as is usually the case, is just below the turret on the hull where the ammo is stored. Your side also has ammo, if you load around 30 shells. It's best to keep 20 shells in AB, as the ammo is stored in the bottom of the tank. (Even then, a T-34-85 or KV-85 can easily ignite that ammo.)

When driving the Heavy Tank No. 6, you should plan ahead of where you're driving. Even with engine and track modifications, the Heavy Tank No. 6 is after all, a heavy tank and a 90 degree or more turn will almost always mean an immediate standstill. Even small adjustments can knock the speed down a bit. Thus, knowing where you're going is of the utmost importance. It has basically the same driving quality of the "Tiger H1". The Heavy Tank No. 6 is best used on the flanks of the current maps, as these are usually more open and allow good use of its armour and excellent gun. The centre of the map would seem more logical, as there are a lot of enemies, but as has already been established, a Heavy Tank No. 6 taking fire from multiple directions won't last long. Going in a flank, taking down the lights and few medium enemy tanks is an easy task for this beast, and thus a flank can be easily secured if you drive carefully. Then, you can work yourself into the enemy sides and rear of the main force in the centre, doing much more damage than if you would have driven straight in because you will set most enemies alight with one good shot to the rear, meaning there'll be little return fire. Unless it's a tank with good horizontal drive traverse such as the Tiger II, you'll pretty much only need to hit him 1-4 times to destroy him (depending on FPE and other factors).

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* The gun mantlet, MG port and driver's port are particularly hard to penetrate due to their complex, varying shape and thickness. Can absorb quite some shells sometimes. The cupola also has a better shape which makes it not so vulnerable
* Decent cannon with adequate accuracy and a range of shells to choose. Stock shell has great penetration and damage, and can knock out common opponents with a single shot easily (e.g. [[T-34-85]], [[M4]], [[IS-1]], [[M6A1]])
* Fast heavy tank with its top speed of 45 km/h, meaning it can get to some positions quickly alongside friendly medium tanks
* The box-like hull shape gives the ability to angling tactic. When angling the hull at around 40° and placing yourself far from the enemies (at least 500 m away) the Heavy Tank No.6 can resist common tanks like the 76 mm Sherman, [[T-34-85]] and [[M36 Jackson (Family)|M36]]
* Good reverse speed and hull traverse allows it to quickly angle for deflecting shells
* -8° gun depression works well in most hilly terrain

'''Cons:'''

* Weak and unsloped armour protection. If not angling the Heavy Tank No.6 can get destroyed easily by the T-34-85 or 76 mm Sherman. Even if the Heavy Tank No.6 is angling, the [[IS-2 (Family)|IS-2]] can still knock it out easily with a single shot
* No access to APCR meaning it will struggle to penetrate heavy targets frontally. For example the [[T29]], [[M26 (Family)|M26]], [[T26E1-1|T26E1]] and IS-2 (1944)
* Rather slow acceleration limits its short range manoeuvrability
* Slow turret traverse makes it hard to respond to flankers quickly. The [[M18 GMC|M18]] is very common at this BR
* Ammo storage at the hull sides are very easy to explode when hit
* Is a big and tall target, easy to get spotted and shot at
* S-Mine dischargers on the hull limits gun depression in certain areas

== History ==

===Development===
The '''[[Tiger H1|Tiger I]]''' heavy tank was arguably the most infamous tank of World War II. The design for this tank began as early as January 1937 when Henschel & Sohn worked on a large "breakthrough" called the ''Durchbruchwagen'' that weighed about 30 tons on request by the German military.<ref name="ImagesOfWarTiger">Anthony Tucker-Jones. ''Images Of War Special: Tiger I & Tiger II'' Great Britain: Pen & Sword Military, 2013</ref> The request was modified over time for more armour and better gun that increased the weight to 36 tons, but this project was dropped in 1938 in favor of the better prototypes VK 30.01(H) and VK 36.01(H). These new prototypes were the start of the usage of the ''Schachtellaufwerk'' wheel arrangements, but these also never passed prototype stages and were both cancelled in 1942.

During the development of the prototypes above, the German invasion of France showed that the Allied tanks such as the Somua, Char B1, and [[Matilda Mk II|Matilda II]] were impervious to their current anti-tank weaponry and a need for better armoured and armed tanks were emphasized. So on May 26, 1941, Henschel and Porsche were asked to submit designs for a 45 ton heavy tank that was to be ready for demonstration by June 1942. During their development in June 1941, Germany initiated Operation Barbarossa against the Soviet Union and was shocked by appearance of the [[T-34 (1941)|T-34]] and [[KV-1 (ZiS-5)|KV-1]] tanks that were invulnerable to all but the most potent anti-tank weapon in German inventory, one of which was the [[KwK36 (88 mm)|88 mm FlaK cannon]]. The potency of the 88 mm cannon against the heavily armoured tanks that the Germans faced had Hitler ordered that the heavy tank design undertaken by Henschel and Porsche to utilize the 88 mm as its main armament instead of a 75 mm cannon.

The designs of the tank was finalized and ready for demonstration on April 20, 1942, Hitler's birthday, and showed the ''VK 45.01(H)'' and the [[VK 45.01 (P)|VK 45.01(P)]]. The demonstration and subsequent evaluations on the two designs determined that the Henschel variant was superior to the Porsche variant, proving more reliable, more mobile, and more easily produced than the Porsche. This caused the Henschel variant to be adopted as the '''Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger''' and production started in August 1942. The Porsche variant had many chassis produced as Ferdinand Porsche thought the design would win, so the chassis were instead used in the [[Ferdinand|Ferdinand]] tank destroyer.

===Design===
What perhaps made the Tiger I so unique in tank development and German doctrine is a change of focus between the three characteristics of the tank; with more emphasis to firepower and armour than to mobility. The Tiger I contained the large [[KwK36 (88 mm)|88 mm KwK36 cannon]] which was very accurate and powerful, being able to penetrate every Allied armour present at its introduction. The armour on the Tiger I was also one of the greatest at the time, with an astounding 102 mm of armour on the front hull armour, 82 mm on the side superstructure and rear, and 120 mm on the gun mantlet. The armour was vertical faced so no sloping benefits were present like on the [[Panther D|Panther]]. All these armour thicknesses proved invulnerable to most Allied anti-tank weaponry at the time, requiring more creative methods in shot placement to disable the tank. The mobility, while taken with less emphasis in the development, was still respectable at the time as the tank weighed about 57 metric tons, about 20 tons more than other country's main tanks, yet is able to keep up a speed of 38 km/h (Maximum speed was 45 km/h, but an engine governor was installed to preserve the engine life).

The tank utilized a torsion-bar suspension system in a ''Schachtellaufwerk'' overlapping pattern, making the Tiger one of the first German tank design to use the pattern. While the design gave the Tiger I great flotation due to the use of a wider track for lower ground pressure, it had disadvantages in environment and maintenance. In the Eastern Front, mud and other foreign object could be jammed in between the overlapping wheels, which would freeze in the winter and jam the wheels; the overlapping wheels also were a hassle to change out, in order to replace one wheel in the inside of the suspension, it requires the removal of at least nine other wheels in order to access it. The first 250 Tiger tanks used a Maybach V-12 HL210 engine with 650 hp before switching over to the more powerful Maybach V-12 HL230 engine with 700 hp. The engine proved adequate in propelling the tank, but was still considered underpowered for the tank weight.

The Tiger I, as innovative as it is to tank warfare, was a strain on German war production. The tank was over-engineered, taking much more man-hour and materials for its worth as a war machine. Cost-wise, two [[Pz.IV G|Panzer IVs]] or four [[StuG III G|StuG IIIs]] can be built for the cost of one Tiger I. The tank was also expensive to maintain and took lots of fuel to run. These attributed to the low number of only 1,354 Tiger Is produced from 1942 to August 1944.<ref name="ImagesOfWarTiger">Anthony Tucker-Jones.

===Japanese interest===
During World War 2, General Hiroshi Oshima, the Japanese ambassador in Berlin, visited the Eastern front where he saw the infamous "Tiger" tank in person. In May 1943 Japan made an offer to buy blueprints and/or an example of the vehicle itself. After discussing terms and possible variants it was decided to purchase [[Tiger E|Pz.Kpfw.VI Ausf E]] chassis No. 250455. This tank was also equipped with a mantlet that had a reinforced binocular sight. The machine is armed with the powerful 88 mm KwK36 gun, able to penetrate most of the Tiger's targets with ease. <ref name="WarThuJapanesePreorder1">War Thunder. "Japanese Pre-Order Packs!" War Thunder. N.p., 6 Dec. 2016. Web. 16 Dec. 2016. [https://warthunder.com/en/news/4379-japanese-pre-order-packs-en/ Website]</ref>

The negotiation for the purchase of a Tiger tank from Germany went on in July 1943. The importation cost of the Tiger ran towards 640,000 marks, about twice the delivery cost to the German army. The offer to buy blueprints, ammunition, and parts were arranged to facilitate domestic production of the tank in the Japanese homeland.<ref name="JapaneseTiger1">Sobral, Rita. "Japanese Tiger Importation Plans." Status Report. Blogger.com, 21 Mar. 2015. Web. 16 Dec. 2016. [http://ritastatusreport.blogspot.com/2015/03/japanese-tiger-importation-plans.html Website]</ref>

Payment by the Japanese for the Tiger tank came into Henschel on 28 February 1944. To get the Tiger to Japan, the plan was to disassemble the tank to parts and transport it via submarine to Japan, where it would be assembled to a complete model. However, the war situation for the Axis by the time this was ready made it virtually impossible to import across via submarine due to the improving tactics of anti-submarine warfare by the Allies and the landlock of the Allies on German territory. With the importation now deemed unlikely to ever happen, the Japanese simply loaned the Tiger tank to the German army, which they used as part of the 101st SS heavy tank battalion in Belgium. <ref name="JapaneseTiger1" />
