The final design of the Tiger I was equipped with the 8.8cm Kw.K. 36 L/56, derived from the earlier 8.8 cm Flak 36. This gun was notoriously accurate and was able to deliver precision fire to targets more than a kilometer away. It was also protected by up to 102mm of frontal armor and 82mm of side armor, which especially from range gave the early Soviet 75mm guns trouble in penetrating the Tiger. The Tiger I was already beginning to show its age in 1943-1944, when better Soviet and Allied equipment, poor German logistics, and un-addressed mechanical problems caused Tiger I losses to increase dramatically. The largest effect the Tiger I had surrounds the myths it created, which still live on today in the hearts of many history enthusiasts.
