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
-
And the IS-2 :angel:
-
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 ;)

It was also in the western front too.

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.

Someone was watching TV last night I see.

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.
-
yes Actually last nights Greatest Tank battle was based on the Battle of the bulge tonight they are running a few more episodes one of them being The Battle of El Alamein tonight, the have some pretty good shows, I try to watch what i can or dvr it when I am away at work since I lost alot of my collections a few years ago in a house fire

More Ff's were built.

it was also used in very small numbers in the normandy region.

i may be wrong....but wasent a tiger 2, or "king tiger" as i think it was nicknamed, basically a tigers 88mm cannon on a more heavily armored version of the panthers body?(with other small changes of coursE)
-
i may be wrong....
Yes, you are.

sorry, i havent done much research on the king tiger. never really interested me. (only reason i even knew there was a king tiger was because i ran into 3 of them on call of duty 3).
i said that by looks. to me it looks like a tigers 88m gun+ turret on a panthers body.

KT had a redesigned hull (probably based off something else) which was much heavily armored. It boasted the 88mm L/71 while our Tiger I has the 88mm /L56.

L56 is 4.928mtrs long and the L71 is 6.248mtrs long

Not to mention that the cartridge of the KwK 43 L/71 gun was a much more devastating round than the Tiger I's Kwk 36 L/56. The King Tiger could penetrate another 40-50 mm of armor at 2000 yards vs the Tiger I. There is something to be said for that amount of firepower!
