TigerII 8.8cm L/71 APCBC V’s M4A1 Sherman Turret
This shows why it was so hard for the Sherman Tankers in open ground getting to grips with the TigerII with its 88mm L/71 main gun whilst the bocage country gave the Shemans the advantage once they had the field mod on the front the Germans then did not know exactly where the Sherman tanks would break through.
Even still it would have taken nerves of steel to be trundeling towards the Tiger II in your troop just wondering how far you would get before being shattered by an A.P round crashing in and if it did not go through completely then bouncing around inside creating carnage.
Sobering stuff.
