The mantlet of the Tiger I was 110 millimeters thick. Note that the tank did not have a sloped or slanted glacis plate, and thus the effectiveness of the armor was not maximized. The Tiger II had 180 millimeter armor, but this was sloped to increase its effectiveness and afford better protection. Use the links below to learn more.
