History.
The Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. B Tiger II (Sd.Kfz.182), widely known as the Königstiger or "Royal Tiger," though the translation "Bengal Tiger" is also recognised, was a formidable German heavy tank and the largest and heaviest tank deployed in combat during World War II. Due to production issues caused by the deteriorating state of the Third Reich and constant air raids, only 487 units of this vehicle were manufactured between January 1944 and March 1945. The Tiger II boasted a powerful 88mm caliber gun and featured thick armour, significant weight, limited mobility, an unreliable engine, and destructive armament. Despite its numerous flaws, this imposing tank posed a grave threat to any Allied unit and instilled panic wherever it appeared. Its fame has endured to this day, making it an unmistakable symbol in both historical and popular culture.

Loved everything about the chassis. The turret was pretty good; the armour on the sides of the turret seem a bit blocky.
