About the King Tiger

In order to counter the increasing threat of Russian tanks during the latter part of WWII, Germany began development of a new heavy tank, the King Tiger. The first 50 models featured a Porsche designed turret, however in mass production runs a Henschel design turret was adopted. Designed for defense and attack, the King Tiger featured thick 150mm armor on the front and 80mm armor on the sides, and a 88mm L71 high velocity main gun capable of penetrating 170mm thick armor at a distance of 1,000m. This massive tank was driven by a 700hp Maybach HL230 P-30 12 cylinder liquid cooled engine. By March 1945, a total of 430 King Tigers had been produced.
