Is the Tiger more rare as excavation reward than the other tanks?
I dug out at least 10 of them by now, none of them was a Tiger. :/ Most of the time I get T-34s and Pz IIIs.

I don’t think I’ve ever dug one up tbh. Same with the stug, wolverine, halftrack, and panther.

I have bought a couple wrecked ones from the yard though. Check there if you just really want one. The available wrecks seem to randomly change every time you load the game or do an excavation, I think.

Tigers so far aren't really worth the money vs repair effort. Panzer V and IV are worth a lot more.

So far I have 1 × Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. G, 1 × StuG III Ausf. G and 2 × KV-2 excavated. I think it will show over time which tank is rare. That's all RNG.

yepp seems RNG based for me tons of Pz III's, 1-2 Panthers, but Stug and KV-1/2 are still nowhere to find

I found a Tiger on my very first excavation. Then #5 was also a Tiger. But, I've never found a Panther. It's the wonderful world of RNG!

literally all i get are t-34-76s, t-34-85s and occasionaly a kv1, this is really annoying as i have already built these tanks, and i am looking for collectibles that arent from russia (i assume the collectibles you find on each map depend on the country of the tank you are digging up)

Random. As example, I cant dig up the KV-2, T-34-85, M10 and StuG...

For me i see them constantly, i for some reason can't find a T-34-76

So far I've dug up 10 vehicles. They have been: 2x Panther, Pz. III with sideskirts, StuG, KV-2, KV-1, T-34/85, SDkFZPRPGMP3(that stupidly named halftrack), Pershing, and a Sherman. Tiger must be very rare indeed, because in my nearly 20h of playtime I haven't seen it even once, not even in repair jobs.
Edit: I have found a Tiger in the scrapyard after returning from an excavation. Also realised I've never ever seen a Pz. IV...

I´m in a small community of 4 guys playing this game. Its funny to see that the random seed is so different. While I was searching for a KV1 and Pz III J I found 6 or 7 T34-76 tanks and a lot of tigers . Same time a friend was searching for that T34-76 but he got spammed with PZ III & IV :D

for me the most found tank so far is the KV2.

for completing the achievements or filling up the museum take a look at your backyard. Buying such a wreck ($60 - $120) and completing it only with rusty parts costs you around $2000 and some time of course :)

This is an exact description of things. For some reason the RNG allows spamming of certain types of tanks in a given game, without regard to what you already have, or tank rarity in the real world. The KV-2 should be really rare, seeing that they made only ~350 of these, far fewer than the production of Panthers, which are super rare in real life. So to have multiple KV-2's is kind of funny.

The yard is, IMO, the perfect companion to the blueprints. The reason is the yard tanks are typically very incomplete, maybe 25 to 33% of parts, compared to some digs where the tanks are 80% complete. So, you need to buy, or better yet, make your own parts, which is pretty realistic.

My current project is to restore my first (yes) Panther, from the yard, using (very expensive at 450k) blueprints. Looking forward to it!

Finally found one in the back scrapyard thing. Damn, that took long, I started to think it's not even in the game.

I personaly found 2 Tigers the first on my secound day in game. But haven't found a singel Panther or Pz III M
