Another thing about that fight, Staudegger didn't face all 50 T-34s at once. Groups of 2-3 attacked in waves. He stated everytime he knocked out one T-34, another would come over the hill to take it's place.

Some of these Tiger players didn't seem too good honestly..

Do T-35 versus Independent, to make the most epic landship battle to end all landship battles.

“Good player” missing all of his shots 😬

Germans could have easily wiped out all T34 if they knew how to play

The German account is still very plausible. Not able to take into account crew skill. At Kursk you had Soviet tank crews who had spent maybe a few hours in their tank, let alone fighting in it. Quantity has a quality all of it's own.

Irl the T-34 was also prone to breaking down easily and had terrible ergonomics and optics for the crew, making it more difficult to hit targets. None of which is represented in war thunder.

this simulation is flawed your trying to recreate something that can't be done in a game. Tiger I had a crew of 5 in the game 1 person controls everything. Commander would be looking for targets while gunner was shooting the current target same with driver he would be moving the tank. In the game you use commander binos you can't fire the gun. Only other problem is your also talking about a tank crew that prob had 1-3 years combat experience in the tank.

These tiger players are just embarrassing

I have to say tiger players are playing very poorly or panicking missing so many shots and shooting on bad spots or on tracks

its important to note that humans generally don't like dying, so they try their best not to die

If I'm not mistaken the Tiger tank i n question was hit 252 times (according to someone who counted the number of impacts in the hull and turret).

German optics or gun sights had also 2 advantages , first you could set a range wich other's don't had . And second there were 4 or 5 small triangles with different size and if you know how big the enemy tank is and he fits in one of this triangles , you had the range . That was a clever thing back then . The range finder and to set a range every tank has in WT , but that was not irl .

In no way is this representative of what a ww2 tank battle would've been like

I'm pretty sure historically if real they didn't all go at the tiger in 1 wave. Im sure it was in like 2-4 waves, that'd be more realistically what happened back then. After one was killed, another would take its place

From what I read t34 had bad optics. Narrow field of view and it could've been poor quality glass making it foggy or warped when aiming. Also this battle was at night and iirc t34 communicate with flags before they could make enough radios.

One very strong point for the Tiger went to doctrines. As the soviets were trained and told to attack while moving, the german tank-crews were trained to only shoot while standing still.

Your comment on metal plates taking hit after hit and holding up is true, the Panther tank could have its hull armor cracked and destroyed by American 75mm HE rounds if enough of them hit the plate, around 5-7

Terrible Tiger players…

I play the tiger as a mid-long range sniper so I probably could of killed 17-20 t-34s during that first fight
