92 AP and HE rounds
[edit]In the infobox it says the armament is 92 AP and HE rounds. I'm guessing that that number is the maximum load? Most of the times a tank would not and would not want to roll around with the maximum load though either because not enough available ammunition, weight, and higher risk of blowing up when hit.

Official designation
[edit]Should something like "officially Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausführung E (abbreviated as Pz.Kpfw. VI Ausf. E) with ordanance designations 182 and later 181" be added to the first paragraph of the article to make it more in line with other articles about the German big cats? Or is this unnecessary?

- It wasn't ever officially called that. By the time it was referred to as Ausf. E rather than Ausf. H1 it was referred to as Panzerkampfwagen Tiger, not Panzerkampfwagen VI. The way that the Sd Kfz numbers are referred to also strike me as odd - they were part of the name later in the war, and as it is written right now, it would seem to me to raise more questions than it answers as to what it means.

Australian Restoration
[edit]The Australian Armor and Artillery Museum is planning on restoring their Tiger to running condition with a full interior, and the article should reflect this when they finish. 2600:4040:5AE1:6600:8D5B:A9EB:BC0E:4F9 (talk) 10:58, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
- Sorry for the late reply- I follow them too, but they've said they're not ready to restore it fully yet. They don't have the parts yet. If I recall they're planning on using a newly fabricated transmission, and original steering. ArmorEnthusiast131 (talk) 23:17, 15 June 2026 (UTC)
Tiger 114 "Bretagne" Restoration
[edit]Will Tiger 114 be mentioned in the page once significant primary sources are found? Recently, I have heard it has been restored to running order, and if so, then I think it deserves to be mentioned, as Tiger 131 would no longer be the only WW2 Tiger I to be restored to running order. This could include changing Tiger 131 as the Only Tiger I to be restored, to the First Tiger I to be restored, with "Bretagne" now being the second one to be fully restored and operational.
