still the scariest meanest looking tank ever I think.

Beast tank

@giuseppeRraimondo - That's when the fighter bombers were called in and they'd make swift work of such a sitting target. The Allies had virtually complete control of the skies in Europe. Nazi Germany stood a snowball's chance in hell of winning WWII.

@JohnQuincyAdams1 i know that this tank was MOST of the times a fail. But if they got this tank to work for a battle it would be really hard for the enemy to get it down

@deino117 - "A sweet piece of metal", doesn't frequently break down, like this piece of junk King Tiger did.

@giuseppeRraimondo - Not so. The King Tiger was actually a Whimpy Tiger, as most of them broke down without ever seeing combat. Tank video games aren't exactly historically accurate.

If there was a king tiger on the battel the battel was won

[deino117]

A sweet piece of metal, even if it was pretty impractical in real battlefield conditions.
