Vehicle history: PzKpfw VI Ausf. B Tiger II, known as King Tiger, was one of the most powerful tanks used by Germany during World War II. Its production began in 1944, and by the end of the war, 487 units were produced. The tank was armed with a PaK 43 L/71 88 mm gun and two MG34 7.92 mm machine guns. Despite its impressive armament and armor, the Tiger II had its flaws, such as an underpowered engine and a problematic transmission system.
