We have the Tiger 1...were there enough Tiger 2's made to warrant an addition? If so please do it would be a great physiological/deadly weapon

The Königtiger was used in Hungary at late '44. At the tank battle of Debrecen 20 of them plus about 100 lighter tanks could hold their own against 350 russian tanks. Thats an awsome machine as long it doesnt smell a swamp  ;)

I know. Anyway, it would match the criteria, i dont think less Königtigers were built than Sherman Fireflies, seen a lot of combat too. Would be a real death-star in AH, couse we only have dry ground.

Oh, no i did not watch that.  I have the Time Life WWII encyclopedia collection where i read about the Tiger II on the eastern front.  If memory severs me correctly, the Battle of the Bulge is where the Tiger II was first used on the western Front.
