Nice turn of phrase. ;-)
It would be interesting to learn, of all the Panzer Vs and Tigers produced, how did they meet their ends?
In other words, how many survived the war, how many were defeated by other tanks, destroyed by artillery fire, or just broke down (i.e., ran out of gas) on the road?
And you'd need to look at Eastern versus Western Fronts.
The reason I say this is because, if you compare to reports from the time, those later German tanks seem to have acquired more significance in historical perspective than they were originally admitted to have.
For examples, consider the "Battle of the Bulge" in late 1944.
Hitler threw the latest and best he had at allied lines, including his biggest tanks.
And the result was?
My guess not many Panzers were knocked out by artillery fire because indirect artillery fire is mostly ineffective against armored targets( in the 1940's there were no arty munitions like the copper head etc.) and direct artillery fire requires a dual purpose weapon like the 88. As Allies didn't do much direct artillery fire at armored targets like the Krauts because the true crew operated anti-tank weapons were just to light to knock out a Mk V or VI..
