BIG KITTY PRACTICING HER HUNTING SKILLS:

COULD IT HAVE HAPPENED:

Three Tigers against One hundred Allied tanks
the Tigers could knock out most of them, before withdrawing, one or two of the Tigers being knocked out themselves, the Tiger had the advantage with its 88mm gun able to knock out tanks at 2.5km or 1.6mile, thats beyond the range of Allied tanks. Allied tanks could maneuver faster and flank the Tiger with shots to the side and back.

LAST BATTLES ON THE EASTERN FRONT:

Tigers knocked out 500 Russian tanks between
January to April 1945, with the loss of 45
Tigers.
