The first fifty production examples of the Tiger II mounted the turret designed by Dr. Ferdinand Porsche. This was arguably the most powerful tank in the Second World War.
The Tiger II is armed with a KwK43 L/71 88mm gun and two 7.92mm MG34 machine guns.
The first deliveries of the Tiger II were in February 1944. Only 489 were produced. With an operational range of 170km, the Tiger II was limited in terms of strategic mobility.

Now that is a manly tank! Not like that gay Freanch tank you posted awhile back!
That is a bad arse tank by the look of it and not made of tin can.

Tim, in 1940, the Char B1 Bis was more powerful than any of the German tanks....
