Tiger II is the common name of a German heavy tank of the Second World War. The final official German designation was Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B, often shortened to Tiger B. The ordnance inventory designation was Sd.Kfz. 182. It is also known under the informal name Königstiger (the German name for the Bengal tiger), often translated literally as Royal Tiger, or somewhat incorrectly as King Tiger by Allied soldiers, especially by American forces.
The Tiger II was the successor to the Tiger I, combining the latter's thick armour with the armour sloping used on the Panther medium tank. The tank weighed almost 70 tonnes, and was protected by 100 to 185 mm (3.9 to 7.3 in) of armour to the front. It was armed with the long barrelled 8.8 cm KwK 43 L/71 anti-tank cannon. The chassis was also the basis for the Jagdtiger turretless tank destroyer.
The Tiger II was issued to heavy tank battalions of the Army and the Waffen-SS. It was first used in combat with 503rd Heavy Panzer Battalion during the Allied Invasion of Normandy on 11 July 1944; on the Eastern Front, the first unit to be outfitted with Tiger IIs was the 501st Heavy Panzer Battalion, which by 1 September 1944 listed 25 Tiger IIs operational.
This replica is, essentially, a remaster of my old build. It features actual chains and three machineguns. I made it speedy (and heavy) so that it won't overturn and easily get over mildly rough terrain.
AG 1 for the main 88mm gun. Trim to elevate
AG 2 for hull MG
AG 3 for hull lights
AG 4 for the commander's cupola MG-42.
W, A, S, D for moving around.

Ob's stürmt oder schneit,
ob die Sonne uns lacht,
Der Tag glühend heiß,
oder eiskalt die Nacht,
Bestaubt sind die Gesichter,
Doch froh ist unser Sinn,
Ist unser Sinn;
Es braust unser Panzer,
Im Sturmwind dahin

@PhantomBladeCorp write the desc in a .txt file or anywhere else you can get to, then copy and paste
@TheBroadside I had to quickly come up with a description, that's why. I mostly write them up, but this one (along with some others) are just Wikipedia copy-pastes.
Did you really just copy and paste the Wikipedia page?
LOL dude that's just lazy...
but nice tank
9.5/10
Great job!!!
The scores are almost equal. 17 platinums, 16 golds. The silvers have joined in, but they're too few.
The battle is heating up.
Much detail such
@BogdanX But it's gone :(
Time to make an MLG version of it :))))
The golds are evening it out. 12 platinums, 8 golds. C'mon guys, I know you can do it :)
@BogdanX I'll do it.
@AdrianFlyingAce How about doing an eMeLGee variant of it? :))
And yeah, you can do whatever floats your boat with it.
@BogdanX Next weekend will be sort of free time for me. Next week I've got simulations for some exams, so I'm learning for them (not much to learn as the exam itself is a joke, but anyway...)
@BogdanX And yeah, I knew about the Object 279.
@BogdanX I don't tease. It would've made it too obvious what I was up to.
Btw, do consider giving it a go. It's a lot of fun to drive almost 70 tonnes at 80 mph :)))
Make sure to check this out!
