Something to consider.

 


An awful lot of photographs we see of German Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf. E tanks, i.e, "Tiger Tanks", are just like this.

Badly disabled.

The tank, while overly mechanically complicated, was a very fearsome weapon and universally acknowledged to grossly outmatch the American Sherman and to at least be a peer to peer match for the Soviet T-34. And yet, a lot of them were destroyed.

The point?

Well, several, but here's one.  Even good tanks get destroyed in battle.
