The comet looks like a rip off of the tiger. When was it produced?

You only think that because the camoflage makes it difficult to see the "lines" of the tank.  They really don't look all that similar IMO -- and the armor was nothing like a Tiger's.  But it was an all-Brit platform for the excellent 17 lbr gun (the other more common chassis used were the US built Sherman (Firefly) and M-10 Tank Destroyer (Achilles)).

But to answer your question directly, IIRC it first saw action in December '44.

Top one is the Maus with a 128mm main gun & 75mm coax cannon. 2 prototypes made, one with a fake turret was captured by the Russians. The other broke down on the way to defend Berlin and was blown up by the Germans.

The bottom is the Elefant. It packed a 88mm/L71 (bigger & nastier than the standard Flak 88). 89 deployed to the Battle of Kursk, but almost half were out of service within 4 days. This was largely from mechanical failure.
