The Ferdinand was perhaps the worst designed tank of the entire war--no machine guns was only one of a plethora of problems with it. That's why only 90 were made ;P Also, to call Kluge, Guderian, Hoth and Manstein "stupid" German commanders is to imply Patton and Eisenhower were 60- IQ Downs' syndrome half senile senior citizens who needed their aides to help them on with their Depends every morning.
P.S. The assault on Poland was in September 1939. The German "Tiger" tank wasn't in use until late 1942 and not in mass use until 1943. I'd suggest spending a little more time with reputable history sources before posting that nonsense on the forums, thanks :P
Sorry folks, but I've been a WWI--WWII buff for ten years now, since I was eight years old, and things like this have been bugging me for a long time.
