Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Tiger II is the common name of a German heavy tank of the Second World War. The official German designation was Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf. B often shortened to Tiger B, with the ordnance inventory designation Sd.Kfz. 182. It is also known under the informal name Königstiger (the German name for the "Bengal tiger"), often translated by the Americans as King Tiger, and by the British as Royal Tiger. The design followed the same concept as the Tiger I, but was intended to be even more formidable. The Tiger II combined the thick armor of the Tiger I with the sloped armor of the Panther. The tank weighed almost seventy metric tons, was protected by 100 to 180 mm (3.9 to 7.1 in) of frontal armor, and was armed with the 8.8 cm Kampfwagenkanone 43 L/71 (KwK?fighting vehicle cannon) gun. The chassis was also the basis for the Jagdtiger turretless tank destroyer.
