    There is one small detail missing from this: During the initial flight from the Sherman's wreckage, Gorman's assistant driver, one James Baron, jumped into a trench, thinking his crew was there. Instead, it was actually the Tiger's crew, who glared at him, so James saluted them and ran off to join his own crew.
    Edit: I've been informed that it was not Gorman who did this cheeky feat, but his assistant driver, James Baron, God rest his soul.

    Edit: basically the Tiger 2 had the Krupp Early turret, also known as the porche turret, this is rare as most of the turrets were salvaged instead of being used as they were replaced by the Krupp Production turret, also known as the Henschel turret

    If your wondering why the tiger crew retreated their turret was probably locked in place by the impact, and its sprocket may have been damaged so the tiger was practically useless.

      You'd also need to consider the sound reverberating throughout the hull. Tankers can go deaf from the sound of a direct impact on the hull, if not then they be heavily disoriented. On top of regular technical faults, its probable the crew thought something was gonna blow and booked it. The disorientation could also probably be why they didn't kill that one Sherman tanker that got lost.

      When the Tiger I was fielded, their crews were handpicked from batches of experienced tankers.
      But when the Tiger II _entered chat_ they also tried to put experienced tankers... but were less easier to find, at least still alive.
      So young crews were indeed assigned to the latest German technology, Otto Carius lost a Jagdtiger in his platoon to an extremely inexperienced commander, for example.
      Thus, if many times the simple ricochets were beyond the nervewracking treshold of the crew, imagine a relatively inexperienced group of young men hit by a 30+ ton "round" 😂

    It is true that tigers had a lot of mechanical problems and were often abandoned or easily destroyed because they broke down.
    But in battle these problems didn't make a difference for the allies, both tigers were a nightmare even if you were in a tank that could out maneuver it. Now imagine seeing a tiger II and a Tiger I at the same spot, it's something you'd only hope to see in a dream.

      Military History Visualised does a good touch on this topic as well I'd say. Ther German tanks were effective when handled with care. It was just that the effectiveness was too good such that the enemy never bothered for a fair fight. Hence, why these heavy tanks often broke down before they ever saw combat. Simply put, they were forced to pursue the enemy when they were clearly designed for head-on engagements. It sounds the same when from a practical standpoint its far too different.
