Pz.Kpfw.VI Ausf.B King Tiger (Sd.Kfz.182) is the heaviest and biggest heavy tank used during WWII. The first vehicles were sent to the units in February 1944. The tank was equipped with an 88mm long 71 caliber gun and angled armor on the front and sides of the turret. First tanks were equipped with a turret popularly known as Porsche turret with angled front. Mass-produced tanks were equipped with a turret popularly known as Henschel turret with flat front. The main lack of construction was a bad maneuverability and susceptibility to damage. Only 487 King Tigers were produced during the war because of bombarding and advanced technological process.
