changedDescription: Known as the Tiger II or “King Tiger” the SdKfz 182 Tiger B is one of the most powerful German tanks operating on the Western Front. Combining thick armor with a sloping design for durability the tank weighs nearly seventy tons. Issued to heavy tank battalions it was first used in combat in the summer of 1944 during the Battle of Normandy. The heavy armor and powerful long-range gun gives the King Tiger an advantage against US Forces and Soviet tanks that attempt to engage it head on. Allied armies need to flank the Tiger in order to get around its frontal armor and avoid its devastating KwK 43 L/71 8.8 cm caliber tank turret. As a late game unit the Tiger B can crush the opposing army’s resistance and turn the tide on the field of battle.
