Eliminating the turret also allowed the vehicle to carry thicker armor than would otherwise be the case M18 Hellcat SU-85 Jagdtiger Archer 4

Heavy Tanks Tiger Ausf. E While the Tiger I was feared by many of its opponents, it was over- engineered, used expensive and labour intensive materials and production methods, and was time- consuming to produce.
