I thought it was a great injustice that the Tiger was not featured on the Military Channel's "Top Ten Tanks", which I just saw last night. I mean, for God's sake, the Sherman and the Centurion were in the top ten. Even the 15-ton failure that is the M551 Sheridan made it. The S-tank made the list despite not strictly being a tank at all!
The Tiger, I or II, should have been included if for no other reason than being the most intimidating tank of WW2. The best tank ace in the world, Wittman, commanded a Tiger. For that matter, if they're going to include turretless vehicles like the S-tank, the Jagdpanther and the Stug III should have been in there as well. I found the whole thing to be a complete mockumentation by someone completely unfamiliar with the philosophy of good tank design.
Oh well, at least the Leopard 2 and the Panther made it.
