Pz.Kpfw. VI Tiger Ausf. B (Sd.Kfz. 182)

The successor of the Tiger I, the Tiger II was designed by the Henschel firm by essentially enlarging the Panther's hull and thickening it's armor to match the Tiger I. It was equipped with the long barreled 88mm cannon, whic hat the time of it's introduction made the Tiger II one of the, if not the most powerful tank in the world. It's immense frontal armor, combined with the powerful gun allowed it to easily destroy nearly every Allied tank it met while taking minimal damage as a result. However, like it's predecessor it suffered from overengineering and a low-powered, fuel hungry engine.
After the shot trap was discovered on the early turret, an improved turret was designed, featuring thicker armor on all sides, a larger gun mantlet, a frontal face with no shot trap, greater ammunition storage space and reduce manufacturing costs due to lack of a cupola bulge. This turret remained for the duration of the Tiger 2's production run.
