By May 1942, Hitler was ordering a rifled anti-tank gun of that caliber and, in a letter from Wa Pruef 4 (German design office for artillery) to Friedrich Krupp of Essen on 2nd February 1943, the 12.8 cm Jagdpanzer concept was born. The letter set out the idea of mounting of a 12.8 cm Stu.K. (Sturm Kanone – Assault gun) on a modified Tiger H3.
The most powerful tank of World War II, a single 67-ton Tiger II could hold up a dozen Sherman tanks, and often did. Known variously as the Tiger B, King Tiger, and Royal Tiger, the Tiger II carried a crew of five, had a 600-horsepower engine and a maximum speed of 21.74 miles an hour, and boasted a cruising range of 105.57 miles. At 67 tons, the King Tiger weighed as much as the early M-1 Abrams tanks. Due to low ammo velocity and poor optics, the IS-2 could destroy the King Tiger once it got to within 1,000 m and then only from the side. 90% of Tiger II's were lost due to mechanical failure, lack of fuel, whereas the other 10% were destroyed in action. Impressive kill by Harry Miller, WWII Veteran. Harry Miller joined us April 19 and shared the story about how his 740th Tank Battalion captured an elusive and formidable target: a German King Tiger (Tiger Royal Mark VI) tank. Tiger 332 was the only in-tact tank of its kind captured during the war, and it now resides at the Armored School at Fort Benning.
The Sla. has a better engine, giving it addional 50 hp. This makes the Sla. feel more like a well armored medium tank than a heavy tank. It also has additional armor (tracks with 30mm of thickness) on the side of the turret.
