If you've seen this monster in action, and stayed to the end of the day, you would have seen the driver happy. He would have a big grin right across his face and have felt like he's just driven a Ferrari. he's have had one finger on the gear stock and be relaxed pulling the drive leavers with the other hand. Everything will be calm and the only thoughts might be, "I havn't broken the tank! please I haven't broken the tank!"
Then if you'd watched the T34 driver will not be happy, he will be cross... he will be nackered! and dripping in a weeks worth of sweat, and at some point he will have had to ask the loader to help change gear... quite a lot of T34 crews had a Hammer in stock to assist in the dreaded task of changing gear...
Tiger has had an interesting history... ill talk more about it later.
