Kingfish Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 There are several CMBO scenarios that feature the Pershing / Super Pershing vs the King Tiger matchup. Wild Bill's "Eldorf" and "A Tiger Hunt" are two that come to mind. There is also WWB's "Too little, too late", and of course Rune's "Clash of the Titans". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mace Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 According to Steve Zaloga's article 'Super Pershing' in Military Modelling (Vol 35, No 4, page 18) there are three documented engagements. The first on 4 Apr 1945 where the AFV engaged and destroyed either a Panther or Tiger during battles along the Weser river. The second occured during the liberation of a concentration camp at Nordhausen around 10 Apr 1945 where the AFV engaged a panzer (type not identified). The third on 21 Apr at Dessau when the tank engaged a Tiger in close combat. Of course, the article also suggests 'This could be nearly any type of German tank, as US tank crews regularly called nearly any German tank a Tiger'. So I guess it's not 100% certain that an engagement occured between King Tiger and Super Pershing, and it still seems to be the topic of discussion amongst AFV historians. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_wittman44 Posted September 23, 2005 Author Share Posted September 23, 2005 It would actually be good to know how many super pershings were deployed apart from the two that were described in the article at the top of the post. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Belton Y. Cooper in his book "Death Traps" there were only two Super Pershings deployed and they hardly saw any action. If I recall correctly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
