This Nazi heavy tank built in 1942 which was used during World War 2 was called Tiger I. The ultimate formal German name was Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf.E, oftentimes called Tiger for short. It was a response to a remarkable T-34 and the KV-1 which were part of the Soviet armor during the first months of encounter prior to the invasion of Soviet Union. Tiger was developed to counter and combat Soviet armors. The design of Tiger I provided The Wehrmacht (refers to the German armed forces of WW II) their first tank mounting the 88 mm gun in its first version called the KwK 36. This gun was the primary weapon of Tiger I. It also showed its high effectiveness both on air and ground targets. The Tiger I was the combat fighting tank used during World War II on all German battlefronts. It was proven to be strong and tough and generally positioned in independent tank battalions.

The T 34 Soviet medium tank was first used in 1940 and had a very large influence on the ways that tanks are designed. It has been talked about as one of the best tanks that was used during the Second World War. It had the best balance as an overall tank, but it wasn't designed to hold the passengers very well, didn't have radios, and performed tactics poorly. That being said, it had guns that made it a fierce adversary for the time. The three inch machine gun was by far the best tank gun at that time. The armor also made it hard to destroy by other tanks. German military officials called it one of the fiercest tanks on the field of battle.

During World War II, the main tank used by the US and the other Allies was the M4 Sherman which was named after the name of Union General W. T. Sherman. Though the Nazis used heavier tanks in the latter part of the war, the medium sized M4 Sherman was proved to be reliable and extremely mobile in performance. The M4 was dispersed in thousands to the Allied Nations especially the Commonwealth and the Soviet Union by lend-lease act. This version of Sherman was manufactured widespread next to the Soviet T-34 in the time of World War II. The M4 which contributed to the triumph of the parent nation was not inferior to T-34.
