It can't realistically tow heavy loads cause the hitch breaks off, and it can't travel far with heavy loads. Definitely not the king tiger of trucks.
Wasn't the king tiger notorious for breaking down constantly? Or was that a different German WW2 tank?
Also dangerous for crews. Sherman tank crews had a 75% survival rating when their tank got bust. I think the tiger had an 80% death rate or something.
lol survival rate vs death rate.
OK so survival rating of 75% vs. 20%. Happy?
No I liked the original! It’s a stark contrast!
Is that because of the tank though, or the situation it ended up in? If they had 20 modern MBTs I expect they would still end up with a high fatality rate.
Difficult to make, too heavy to be effective, and iirc yeah, unreliable.
Even up to present day conflict tanks breaking down or getting stuck can be a major loss of armor, especially during prolonged maneuvers.
