Generally, the heavy armored battalion has 2-4 tiger companies, each with 9 tigers, one company, and four platoons with two each. Even if there is an expansion in the later period, the number of tigers rarely exceeds 3 per row. Therefore, the number of tiger's body numbers rarely has a mantissa of 3. For example, if the tank No. 115 was before 1944, it should belong to the third Type 3 tank of the Tiger Platoon.

    Oddball: It's a wasted trip baby. Nobody said nothing about locking horns with no Tigers.

    Big Joe: Hey look, you just keep them Tigers busy and we'll take care of the rest.

    Oddball: The only way I got to keep them Tigers busy is to LET THEM SHOOT HOLES IN ME!

    Crapgame: Hey, Oddball, this is your hour of glory. And you're chickening out!

    Kelly: Nobody's asking you to be a hero.

    Oddball: No? Then YOU sit up in that turret baby.

    Kelly: No, because you're gonna be up there, baby, and I'll be right outside showing you which way to go.

    Oddball: Yeah?
