We highly recommend checking out his video on the Tiger Tank when you're done here. He also does it in a hilariously entertaining way. He's a veteran armchair war historian and master wordsmith who backs up his considerably inflammatory opinions on our favorite tanks, planes, and warships with cold, hard, unconcerned-with-your-opinion facts.

LazerPig on YouTube is a war-vehicle enthusiast's dream come true. Happily, there's someone out there who more or less did just that. We could spend weeks, heck, even months e-mailing the curators of America's war museums to find all the reasons much of the Tiger's mythos results from gross over-exaggeration.

No, seriously, there are people on online forums who think that. Its offense, defense, power, and desirability help make it the most legendary tank of World War II.Claims that declare things like 'It took five American Shermans to take out one German Tiger' or 'The Tiger could take on a modern Abrams tank and win' still echo across sweaty Reddit threads. Despite the considerable flaws in its lack of a radio system, the Char B1 survived and blasted for years and in numerous combat zones throughout World War II and was sought after by multiple nations. The Char B1 had impressed so many during its time in the war that German General Heinz Guderian hailed it as the best tank of all time. The security and power provided by the Char B1 were respected by the German military, who commandeered them after the fall of France to use for their own Panzer Divisions.

Meanwhile, the B1's own armor kept it standing against the firepower of tanks like that of the 20mm gun on the Panzer II, which was the most commonly used tank by German forces during the invasion of France. Other Panzer models in service at the time, such as the Panzer III and Panzer IV, were only effective at close range. This firepower meant that the Char B1 was capable of blasting through the armor of even the most well-protected German tanks.
