Very few nations can get tank design right first time... particularly when they're in the middle of a war!

I have to agree, the Tiger is quite a technical achievement, when it was first introduced in Russia and North Africa at the time, there was no tank Western or Russian tank that could match the Tiger I's firepower in a head to head fight, especially the range and accuracy of the gun equipped on the Tiger I.
