King Tiger
With its angular lines, high velocity 88mm gun and immense size the King Tiger is without doubt the most impressive tank from WWII. When operating to its full capability it was a very difficult tank to beat, especially if you were in a Sherman! If you compare one of these monsters with a Sherman then every allied crew deserved a medal! With its wide tracks it was a lot more manoeuvrable than at first thought and it could traverse places that the narrower tracked allied tanks could not. However, it’s all up weight of 69,000kgs put great stress onto its final drive system. A King Tiger needed a very good driver to get the best out of it. As with most German tanks, it was extremely well engineered but much too complicated and time consuming to build in the large numbers needed by the German Army. It was difficult to mass-produce unlike the Russian T34. Still, it is a good for us tank enthusiasts that they were made at all as they now make very impressive models.
