Nice vid, you do know that the king tiger and Tiger II are one and the same i hope... lol

[KoRnKid837]

no on the info boards the king tiger has a larger gun and thicker armour than the tiger 2

I love this museum! Great displays and well kept armor. The Aberdeen proving ground has a great collection, but is kept in poor condition.

i thought the chieftain tanks went up to mk 11 and thats what the story behind chieftain mk12 tank, btw the chieftain tank is kinda cheap but good hard to find for sale though

@KoRnKid837 Tiger 2 = King tiger ;)

Collection is ok, but presentation looks terrible in Bovington.

Try Sinsheim Technic Museum for ultimate WW2 feeling ;D

The Tiger 2 is a King Tiger :) Both have the 88 mm gun on them. The JagdTiger, was a chassis of the King, but had a 128 mm gun on er...awesome firepower! The original Tiger 2 had a Porsche Turret on it, as a prototype, maybe thats whats there, but im sure that was an 88mm as well. I could be wrong.

Porsche turret had a one stage cannon and 80 mm front armor, henschel turret 2 stage cannon and 180 mm front armor. Tiger II with porsche turret: Tiger II, ausf. A and

with henschel (production) turret:

Tiger II, ausf. B

I like the henschel turret more ;)

and, there both the king tiger, that was a nickname awarded by the allies...

i rewatched your vid and i saw what difference you made, between the turrets.

I know a lot about the king tiger, here some of my wisdom ;) :

Henschel and Porsche had a race who would made the best hull for the tiger II. Henschel won. Than they had a race between the turrets. Henschel won (easier to fabricate, the more blocked turret, ausf b) but porsche already had 50 turrets(rounded ones) , so 50 king tigers were fitted with those turrets.
