The Tiger was developed as a breakthrough tank, intended to smash its way through a fortified enemy line. It was heavily armoured and well-armed with a version of the 8.8cm FlaK36 anti-aircraft gun. Wide tracks and interleaved suspension with 16 large road wheels on each side give this monster almost as good mobility as a medium tank.

Two heavy panzer battalions were assigned to Operation Citadel. The 505th served in the North as a part of Model's 9th Army, while the 503rd fought on the southern pincer.

The 505th kept their Tigers together in a single battalion and lead the way as heavy breakthrough tanks. Paired with StuG assault guns from Panzer Company 312 (RC), this battalion was highly successful in its mission.

The 503rd broke its companies and platoons up and divided them across 3rd Panzer Corps' frontage, acting as small but hard-hitting spearhead tanks for the normal panzer companies.
