Tiger 1
It was light tank.very mobile though. But they were very vulnerable.I would say T-34. Entering service in 1941 it was something else.
Thank you. Yeas i meant it. That is why i like Tiger most of all.It depends what your purpose is.
Do you wanna include prototypes too?
If your purpose is destroying tanks and disregarding logistics, mobility then I'd rate Jagdtigers and King Tiger H best.
JagdTiger for raw armor and firepower

The Pak44 can destroy literally everything with its gun, and its one of the most powerful guns kinetic energy wise. Plus its armor is pretty immune to most cannons frontally.
King Tiger for tank duel
The King Tiger is pretty lethal in this task too, but it didn't utilize sloped armor smartly like others did. Still, the long 88 can smash everything while having much faster reload.

T29 the prototype counter of KT
Americans have developed a counter to the King Tiger, its called T29 but didn't see combat. It had a more powerful gun and armor, and better mobility.

IS-3 the most protected tank that actually works (unlike Maus)
Ok, there's a tank even better armored. That is the IS-3, much more powerful version of the IS tanks. It utilizes peak armor smartly and is insanely armored. It is able to do that, because it sacrifices size and volume in order to fit more armor in less space. The IS-3 is so armored that in 1960s, the Jews' 76mm and 90mm guns had trouble penetrating it. I don't like its 122mm gun though because it's a specially designed to smash enemy material and suffers from slow reloading because of that.

M4A3E8 for general task
If you wanna care about logistics and other factors to field an army, I'd pick the M4A3E8 Sherman.
It's pretty well armored, has good crew comfort, has decent gun and mobile too. Unlike its counterpart T-34-85 which has troublesome crew comfort, leading to slow reload and trash tier hull armor.

Am i right that M4A3E8 and Jagd Tiger are similar to each other in many ways?Thank you. Yeas i meant it. That is why i like Tiger most of all.
They couldn't be further from each other.Am i right that M4A3E8 and Jagd Tiger are similar to each other in many ways?
Im watching it right nowThey couldn't be further from each other.
Sherman was a tank designed with a combination of firepower, mobility and protection.
Jagdtiger was a defensive weapon (when germany was getting stormrolled in late war) developed with the heaviest armor and gun one can find in order to kill as many enemy tanks before being terminated by the enemy.
