'''GAU 90 vs. 88mm Kwk 36: Even. '''The AMP suit has a faster fire rate and more ammunition which it can carry. The downside is that incendiary rounds and high explosive rounds aren't going to be very much help against a mobile fortress. That, and even with AP rounds, the AMP's main gun is only 30mm (if I read the info right), so it's going to have to get fairly close to the Tiger to pierce the armor. The Tiger's 88mm holds the brute firepower advantage here, but the single shot + fairly slow reload rate + agility of AMP negates that fact.

'''AMP Suit Knife vs. MG34 and/or MG42: Tiger I. '''The AMP's knife is used mostly for clearing out brush and trees, not slicing through heavy armour. It could have a chance to to pierce, but only depending upon the swing force of the suit, as normally, I don't believe 34 kilo knife could pierce armor. Meanwhile, it doesn't really matter which MG is used. the only major battlefield difference is fire rate (800 vs. 1200), and ease of maintenance (which I don't believe will be a problem.. or will it?). The driver of the AMP is exposed with only glass protecting him, which (even though it might be bulletproof), would probably shatter under a storm of high-velocity MG fire.

'''Mobility: AMP. '''The suit here wins hands down. Familiar terrain or not, the slow accelleration/turning of the Tiger, plus the fact that it could probably get bogged down in the terrain recognizable to the AMP, makes the Tiger a sitting duck for the quick-footed agility of the AMP.

'''Armor: Tiger I. '''The armor thickness of the Tiger I makes penetration from the Main Gun of the AMP almost impossible unless it is using AP, and even with AP rounds, the small 30mm rounds will have to be fired from fairly up close to have a chance of pennetrating the 100mm front, 80mm side and rear armor of the Tiger. Some one might have said this already, but he AMP is more like a light tank in terms of armor and mobility. It's meant for infantry support and rapid penetrations into enemy lines, plus the fact that you can literally see the pilot from behind his wall of glass. The lightness of the Armor on the AMP means it will just take on well-aimed shot from the Tiger to bring it down. The Tiger is meant for direct confrontations, whether it be against numerous Shermans on the Western Front, or an infinite amount of T-34's on the Eastern front. Both tanks had to have special variants built to even have a chance to combat the Tiger, and mostly that was just with gving them bigger guns.

'Deadliest Warrior: Tiger I. 'This might just be my inner historian breaking out full force, but I see the Tiger taking the cake the here. It's heavier armoring, and superior secondary weaponry negate the tie of primary weaponry and the mobility advantage of the AMP. The Tiger's armor makes the AMP have to get within MG range to have a chance to pierce, and the one-man crew is exposed to a flurry of Machine Gun rounds, and all it would take is one lucky round (a semi-direct hit with AP, or a close-miss with HE) from the Tiger to bring this to an end....

A Stuart driving circles around you firing it's popgun is still just a Stuart.
