Tigers were maintenance intensive tanks but they were prone to mechanical failures.
Maintenance procedures were a must, but thats not always possible during prolonged field operations.
The Tiger was always in short supply, German industry couldn't build enough Tigers needed.

When the Sherman ceased production in 1945
49,000 were built thats more than the entire
German tank production during the war, the
Panzer force was just out numbered.
However, the Tiger was sucessful in its mission, to destroy enemy tanks, and as the war went on, it built itself a reputation
had a effect on Allied morale.
