Historical background:

The original 8.8cm Kw.K 43 (L/71) gun is one of the most famous anti-tank cannons of World War II, used between 1944 and 1945 on German heavy tanks – the Tiger II (King Tiger) in both the standard Henschel-Turm and the prototype Porsche-Turm variant, which saw use in a limited number of vehicles. The VK4502(P) was one of the competing prototypes in the program for a new heavy tank for the Wehrmacht, though it ultimately did not enter serial production. These models were equipped with the highly effective 8.8cm Kw.K 43 cannon, capable of penetrating the armor of any Allied tank on the battlefields of WWII, including during the battles in Normandy and on the Eastern Front.
