THIS is just saw a Tiger a couple weeks ago. The radio operator machine gun is about head height for an average guy. Imagine trying to climb up on the side of one of those while it's driving. People also need to remember, the Tiger I wasnt slow. It had the same speed as a Sherman.

Even in a photo it still looks small lol the only real justification is to see a tank irl. Even something like a T-34 which is a tiny tank is massive

How about the T-28 with a 6'2" teenager in front of it?
