Ehm, actually.. King Tiger wasn't the backbone of the German army at all. Only a small number were produced. The backbone of the German army was at first the Panzer IV, and later in the war the Germans most used vehicle was a Stug. Around 30.000 were built against about 500 King Tiger's. Correct me If I'm wrong!
And about the horses..neither Germans or Allies used much cavalry- altough Germans had some horses for transport means.

Re: Note from the Devs

I took this quote from a book but it holds true " Panzers may have been the sword of the German Army but STuGs and Tank destroyers were their shields."

After that i am not sure...i guess there were much more panthers then tigers, so i think they deserve that title from 1943 up to the end of the war.

Overall, from 1943 to 1945, only some 6000 Panthers were produced by Maschinenfabrik-Augsburg-Nuremberg (MAN) in Kassel and Maschinenfabrik Niedersachsen-Hannover (MNH) in Hannover, along with Daimler-Benz, Henschel and Demag.

What Artie Bucco says also sounds true......from 1942 onward german tanks were certainly not alone in their fight against soviet armour, tank destroyers were a lot cheaper and faster to produce, and could carry a heavier gun then the tanks could that were build at the same time. ( in fact german tanks never were the only ones to fight soviet armour, there were a lot of AT field guns around , and the luftwaffe was there too )

I get your joke now. I was confused since horses were indeed the transportation backbone of the German Army, which never had enough motorized transport (or gas) to haul more than a small part of its supplies.
