Historical background

The Pz.Kpfw.VI Ausf. B Tiger II (Königstiger), with the Henschel turret version, was a legendary machine of the German armored forces, produced from mid-1944 until the end of World War II. This tank was the best-armored and most heavily armed vehicle of the Wehrmacht. The Henschel turret featured a simplified, lower-profile shape compared to the earlier Porsche turret, which improved crew protection. The Königstiger took part in battles such as the Battle of the Bulge, the defense of Berlin, and on the Eastern Front. Its powerful 8.8 cm KwK 43 L/71 gun gave it a huge advantage in confrontations with enemy tanks.
