During World War II, the German tank that was designated the Panzerkampfwagen VI-B Tiger II, or more commonly know as the "King Tiger" was a much feared weapon by Allied Forces, because of its powerful 88mm main gun and. thick armor plate.

During its development stage, both the Henschel and Porsche firms introduced rival. prototypes that incorporated different turret onfigurations.
