Today we look at the infamous Porsche Tiger. Widely regarded as an abysmal failure prone to fires and unable to even climb a slight slope much of this tanks legacy is made up of myths and misconceptions. Stay tuned to learn the reality of this project and how a hybrid Tiger almost became Germany's heavy tank.

The irony about the Tiger is when Germans tried their second Ardennes push (aka The Battle of the Bulge) the Tiger did not have as easy a time getting through that country as the Pz II had in 1940. The need to select the strongest bridges led to bottlenecks, U-turns and eventual defeat that was partly down to the weight of a full turret tank carrying an 88mm, the tank they wished they had in 1940.

Their are tanks that are great for offensiv tasks, and their are tanks for defensiv tasks. And at least since 1942, the german Wehrmacht was no longer in the position to do much offensiv tasks but focused in defensiv tasks. That´s why i think the Sherman was so great - no "one-trick-pony", more an affordable "swiss-army-knife"

The German army actually had a well thought out tactical doctrine for the Tiger. It was to be kept in reserve and concentrated to support attacks. Once the attack was over they would be withdrawn and the crews given time to do maintenance. Unfortunately for the Germans, the enemy didn't cooperate, the war turned into a defensive slog, the Tiger was rushed into production and combat and was eventually used as a fire brigade, rushing from crisis to crisis. Let's not also forget that Germany's economy was a mess, and was supporting the war based on their own limited resources and those they could steal from occupied territories. Even without allied bombing, they never had the resources, money, fuel, time, or manpower to produce, crew, and operate enough of these tanks to make a difference.

During Kursk they were used at the forward tip of the 'panzerkeil' in an effort to combat the Soviet doctrine of a pakfront that they had previously encountered, and that German army intelligence had identified were massed in the Kursk salient. Also read somewhere that German industry had been geared to total war too late, for example they still had factories producing baby prams at the outbreak of hostilities. So many other factors from Gorings use of the Luftwaffe in the battle of Britain, Mussolini's attempted invasion of Greece led to Germany delaying Barbarossa to complete the side show losing valuable campaigning weather, Hitler's meddling in OKH affairs, the worse winter in supposedly 100yrs and many many other factors. But the stoic defense of the average Soviet peasant was a huge contributing factor to Germany's defeat as well as inventions far ahead of their time made by the 'untermensh', Stalin himself and the purges of the red army was another huge factor in their massive initial losses. Just too much to mention in a try to keep it simple comment. Needs volumes to cover, but they came within an ace of achieving their goals except for what could be described as a 'higher intervention'

@@lyricallyunwaxable1234 The claim that the German industry has been comprehensively dismissed by Tooze. The NS economy had been very successful at achieving full employment (and there was a massive labor shortage in Germany. Factories couldn't go on night shifts because there wasn't any labor to man them. Women couldn't be used in the factories because with the men in factories and the military they operated the farms. Germany still had managed, with effort and the haber bosch process to grow 80% to 85% of its food compared to Britain's 45%-50%. This meant a high proportion of Germany's woman power was devoted to food production. Britain of course obtained much from the USA in the form of lend lease and presumably still exported goods to pay for food imports. -The big upswing in German Armaments production from 1942 was not a result of Speers armaments miracle but carefull planing and investment in automation and mass production techniques that started to pay of. The production of Ju 88 bombers went from cost plus incentive to competitive tendering. Production batches went from dozens and hundreds to thousands. -Speer makes a fuss over cutting production of refrigerators (and prams) but I doubt that achieved anything much apart from more food spoilage and mothers spending more time carrying babies and shopping rather than working. -Germany was behind the US in mass production, no doubt so the Germans took a little longer to work it out. Tanks were produced by heavy machinery makers with little experience in mass production instead of Opel and Ford which were so new they were not trusted except for trucks of 2.5-3 tons or so.

With regard to the Rammtiger photograph, it's definitely a fake. It's a picture of a model which was composited into a old photograph using traditional photomanipulation techniques. I know this because I happen to know the guy who built the model and created the picture for a modelling magazine back in the 90s - he was a regular customer at a specialist model shop I worked in a couple of years ago. The image was never intended to fool anyone and when it was originally published it was clearly stated to be a a bit of photo-trickery. However, the image has found it's way onto the internet without it's original disclaimer causing people to claim it as original.
@mattbowden4996
@mattbowden4996 Год назад
Actually, I've got the story slightly wrong. The picture was first published in MAFVA's "Tankette" magazine and the Editor didn't initially state it was a fake, putting that fact in a subsequent issue. This was done against the model makers wishes as the picture was only created for a bit of fun. Also, I think the picture was posted on the 2000's rather than the 90s, but I haven't been able to pin down the specific issue because I'm not a subscriber.

@grafgeo9194
@grafgeo9194 Год назад
Careful: 99% of hybrid cars on modern streets use their engines to power the wheels mechanically and therefore need a gearbox for transmission. The generator only generates electric energy while braking. Porsche instead did not use this kind of "range extension" an energy recycling. His tank engine permanently powered the generator instead of any gearbox. And there is the genius: no mechanical gearbox needed! For example the T34 meanwhile was prone to gearbox failures even with far less engine power.

The US T23 tank, a competitor with the M26 Pershing was also to have a GE electrodynamic drive. The problem with the electrodymamic drive in the Porche tank wasn't the ward-leonard system of dc generators and motors but the petrol engine. It takes many years to get an engine in service (6 years for an aero engine and not much less for a tank engine) Porche couldn't realistically get is flat 12 engine functioning in time to start production, there was simply no hope so they switched to a pair of Maybach HL120 engines as used in the Panzer III and Panzer IV. These just could be fitted in the planed area and ended up between the casement and driver. A DC motor or generator weighs about 350kg per 100kW so you would need 700kg (a 350kg DC generator and a 350kg DC motor) to transmit 100kw. For a 700hp/400kW engine that would mean 2.8 tons. (Maybe a bit more with switch gear, and conservative ratings). The system works by controlling the current through the field winding of the generator to control speed likely via rheostat. The field of the DC motors would allow a increase in torque at low speed. Thus providing both steering and transmission. It would save a pinion gear, two steering differentials, clutches, shafts etc.

Fun fact: as one would expect, there were a lot of Shermans left over after WW2, rendered obsolete by newer designs. Many were de-militarized and sold as surplus. A number were used for demolition. Drive a Sherman through a small or medium brick or frame structure a dozen times and your work was mostly done. I vaguely remember a Popular Mechanics article on this, late 1950s/early 1960s.

We'll presumably never know, but the most likely outcomes are either that it was knocked out by Soviet guns or it was abandoned due to a breakdown. If it's the latter, then it was likely torched to prevent it from being captured intact, since that was standard practice at the time. Either way, its remains would've eventually ended up being scrapped by the Soviets. While they did preserve some captured tanks at Kubinka, a burnt-out husk wouldn't have any fate other than the scrapyard.

Probably because the Henschel Tiger had plenty of transmission problems of its own (especially early production examples), and the Porsche Tiger had an exotic transmission that was part of the reason it was rejected. Thus, widespread assumptions that the Porsche Tiger *must* have had even worse problems specifically with transmission failures (when in reality, it was just because Germany didn't have enough copper to go around, and diesel *electric* submarines without copper wires were impossible while tank transmissions that didn't need wires were very possible). How the meme progressed to Porsche Tiger transmissions *catching fire* on the other hand, I have no idea.

Really cool. Just yesterday I was reading on the VK 30.01 Porsche and the Maus. It seemed almost wierd to me that the Maus transmission was seen as very smooth running and easy to drive, also that the VK managed very good manueverabilty and I have not yet verified but it might be true that the unloaded hull managed 60kmh. Also the tanks should be capable of maximum speed on reverse which might have been seen as a mayor tactical advantage. Unfortunately Porsches V10 engines were ridiculously ineficient for some reason and the tank had terrible fuel consumption. Had Porsche developed his theoretical diesel engine or borrowed something else, the tank might have been even more interesting.

What has always puzzled me is that although the Vk4501 P and the Henschel Tiger 1 have the same turret, both differ in War Thunder in one small detail. On the VK4501 P, the turret MG protrudes a bit from the turret, but not on the Tiger 1. So far I have not been able to find a hint on any photo whether this is true or not. So I don't know if Gaijin made a mistake with the models or not? ^^ Anyway, great video and thanks for your work!

I think one other factor that made the Henschel to be chosen was the hull seems easier to produce. Most of the plates that make it are squarish and straight, almost blocky overall, while the Porsche Tiger has more plates in comparison and it has different angles on several of them, which in production just adds unnecessary complexity.

Tiger 131 is the German Tiger I premium, the Japanese one is Heavy Tank No. VI They're pretty much identical, VI has a slightly lower radio range than 131 and is a tiny fraction heavier, and the shell costs and velocities are also slightly different.

The Porche Tiger will always be an interesting design, especially with its choice of electronic transmission and other components like the bogey suspension. It makes one wonder how the poor transmission rumor came to be. Not to mention the question of "What if Porche was selected over Henshel in the Tiger contest?" But let's not forget its greatest modification added to it. The turbo boost that allowed it to rocket forward at great speed.

Great video... A similar story is the DB Panther Design...( Great idea for a topic hint hint ) it almost happened and it might have produced a lighter Panther which could have been better . People focus on the first "T34 copy" and overlook the later rival design. Read " Professor Porsche's Wars " and you'll see he was building successful electric / gas powered vehicles before WW1. The idea was sound but copper was an issue during the war . I have read French "volunteer" workers calmed they would sabotage panther transmissions.. I think it is possible that many of the duds and breakdowns suffered by the Nazis could have been the results of forced labor sabotage . Porsche was not just a guy with Mega designs.... he was an engineer who wanted to built what the customer wanted... He saw it as his duty and a challenge. It is interesting to note that even the critic Guderian ( when referring to the mobil pillbox use of the Maus) said "With100 Panzers like the Maus, I'll hold the Eastern front." Hitler 1942 thought Tank armor and guns would get so big that the only way to get a head of it was to build a massive tank... Some of these "crazy" ideas aren't quite as crazy as we might think when we look closer. .... and their critics may be very misinformed . Thanks.. Oh... check out the 2nd tank in the background at 14:47 ... it looks kinda like a Panzer IV turret on a Panther kind of hull.... what is that? An illusion?

No. The 653 had three unique vehicles. Well, actually six. The Tiger I(P) and the three Tiger I (P) recovery vehicles. There was also a Panther tank recovery vehicle with the Panzer IV turret mounted, and at least one T34 with the German Quad 20mm Flak mount replacing the turret.

Heya Cone! This is my first ever RU-vid comment and I do it with a simple ask and/or suggestion. A while ago, I started doing twitter threads in the vain of your videos, so one of the threads was on the Panther tank. When I did a few segments on the captured Panthers, I couldn’t find anything on the French Panthers and could only find a few pictures of some Polish Panthers, one of which I have a model of! So my ask/suggestion is if you could tell the stories of Pudel, Fennick and their French and Russian cousins. I simply posted here because I LOVE the Porsche Tiger, unironically. Keep up the good work, otherwise.

Shortages of rare elements caused at least some of the problems in final drives of German tanks. Not only did the drives themselves have to be made from inferior steels, but the machine tools used to make them also had to use inferior cutting edges. This meant that the drives had to use a simpler type of gear that was even less resistant to breaking.

(H) Tigers have notoriously hard to maintain suspension. Would the torsion bar bogie have any advantage in that department? What would those bogies even weigh? They seem gigantic compared to what was mounted on medium tanks at that time. Then there's other aspects: Putting more vulnerable part outside the armor is risky but it also vastly increases internal volume. Or as shown in the (P) vs (H) comparison, allows for a much lower hull. So there's that. I'd imagine bogies introduce atleast some more moving parts and points of failure, then again production might be simpler or atleast cheaper. So much to think about!

The Porsche hull seems much better in that it allows a shorter profile and has more potential for armor upgrades, as well as its running gears being easier to repair with it not having interleaved roadwheels. If there was an executive decision to use Porsche's hull but with Henschel's inner workings, this version of Tiger 1 might've been a slightly better version of the Tiger 1 we know today. The Porsche type 101 engine just has to go, preferably replaced with Henschel's HL210 or HL230, but I can actually see the electric drives being used instead, especially because the additional torque allows for much heavier armour modifications.

Do you have any other information on twin engine designs, or the trouble of adapting new engines? While mutliple engines seems common for ships - most land samples like the British tank with two bus engines, or Soviet problems with early su-76s (and later BTR APCs) seem to show that it doesn't work away from the water. Similarly, the Comet eventually used a Merlin engine but the Germans didn't try to use a DB-601 or Jumo to get more horsepower into their overweight tanks.

i certainly did not know that the Commander Variant had Maybach engines retrofitted in them, now that makes sense how they would've worked and gotten to some groups, now i wonder if there were Ferdinands/Elefants that also were retrofitted with Maybach engines (with the electric transmission still in place) 14:47 Tiger P and the little chonky brother Panzer IV/V some technical questions i have. in the case of the foaming, it might be coinciding with the reports at the time of German engine Oil and Fuel becoming more "watery", coming from Greg's Automobiles and Airplanes video on german aircraft fuel, which iirc started around late 1941, so the Porsche designers could've not accounted for it, i also think the Air-cooled aspect of the design would've also contributed as that would've quite a limited cooling capacity than a water cooling which would lead to oil boiling inside the engine. i find it quite fascinating now that the electric motors were not the issues for the "rapid unscheduled disassembly" of the engines, which again could be attributed to the Air-Cooling system, considering that Submarines at the time could run with their motors hard even with very little cooling from the surrounding water. when you mentioned the hydraulic systems to be mounted, would these refer to something similar to that of the Panzer IV Hydrostat? or was it to be something different? for what i understand, with the hydrostatic transmission, this would've given the tank similar amount of mobility with minimal complexity as the Merrit-Brown style triple differential transmission that was used on the Henschel Tiger (and the Churchill), though as Chieftain once noted that there were very little or immutable complaints about the maintenance and use of such transmission. anyways, cheers!
