PANZERKAMPFWAGEN VI Ausf. tanks. B "KONIGSTIGER" were introduced into service in 1944 and were one of the most powerful tanks of their time. The Tiger II combined thick armor, reaching up to 180mm on the front of the hull, with a powerful 88mm KwK 43 L/71 gun, which made it a formidable opponent on the battlefield. Its weight was about 70 tons. The Maybach HL230 P30 engine with a power of 700 HP allowed it to reach speeds of up to 38km/h on the road. Despite its impressive combat performance the Tiger II had numerous technical problems, including frequent engine and chassis failures. Its complex design and enormous resource consumption made production expensive and time-consuming. A total of approximately 492 units were produced. The Tiger II took part in many key battles, including the Battle of the Bulge and the fighting on the Eastern Front. Its presence on the battlefield had great psychological significance, but in practice it was often limited by logistical and technical problems. Despite the flaws, the Tiger II remains one of the most famous and recognizable tanks of World War II.
