A list of Tiger Tank Aces of WW2:

Always thought Michael Wittmann was the highest.
Although the list may be deceptive, considering that these people didn't score all their kills in Tigers. Most panzer commanders racked up good numbers in PzIII's, PzIV's, and/or StuGIII's prior to being assigned to the new Tiger Units.

it should be noted that Knispel was known to give his zug-mates kills if there was ever a dispute over a kill. his number may be even higher than that.

of course, it should also be noted that He was a gunner in a PzIV first...

My understanding was that Wittmann held the record for most kills in one action.

Believe so, yes.

Not sure if that's the highest amount of kills in a single action, but Wittmann's Villers-Bocage engagement is certainly impressive.

I've came across that site a while ago, the statistics on Tiger I units throughout the war are quite useful.
