The most heavy and powerful tank of WWII was the German Pz.Kpfw.VI Ausf.B. It was designed by Henschel and serial production was launched in February 1944. The tank had a heavy armor and long-barreled 8.8cm cannon. Its armor-piercing projectile was capable of hitting any Allied tank at a distance of 2000 meters and above. However, this tank did possess insufficient mobility and reliability of the power plant and transmission. The tank received the nicknames Tiger II or Konigstiger. Since July 1944 Henschel turrets were installed, and since October 1944 the application of the Zimmerit coating was stopped. Pz.Kpfw.VI Ausf.B tanks served until the end of the war in heavy tank battalions. A total of 479 were produced in 1944 and 1945.
