Middle part is unangled and is the weakest part of the turret.
Turret front armour is only 100 mm thick, but it is rounded, with varying angles (between 0-55°). Cast homogeneous armour (Gun mantlet, Cupola, Turret front). The initial design is often misleadingly called the "Porsche" turret due to the belief that it was designed by Porsche for their prototype in fact it was the initial Krupp design for both prototypes. Other than that both tanks are identical, but for obvious reasons the "Henschel" turret is more popular than the "Porsche" turret. Commander's cupola on the "Henschel" turret is also thicker (150 mm, opposed to 100 mm on "Porsche" turret). The "Porsche" turret is less armoured, has an exposed turret ring and a shot trap that can and will deflect shells to the weaker upper plate of the chassis. The "Henschel" turret is slightly more resistant since it has a flat but thick plate in the front and a more effective gun mantlet. At 800m you should still be within a safe distance (depending on what you are facing) but going under that is getting into the Allied guns' effective range.ĭifference between the Henschel (H) and the Porsche (P) turrets Being comfortable with kilometer long shots is a must in this tank. The Tiger II's cannon can maintain a very nice penetration even at long ranges (1,200 m-1,800m) while American and Soviet cannons usually cannot keep such high penetration over distance, so they prefer 700 m or less engagements where their guns will most likely destroy you in the first hit, so get used to long range engagements. The Tiger II (P) remains one of the more potent foes a player could face in the Rank IV battles. It was introduced during the Closed Beta Test for Ground Forces before Update 1.41. With a battle rating of 6.3 (AB/RB) and 6.7 (SB). B (P) (or Tiger II (P)) is a rank IV German heavy tank For all legal matters, please contact - and ConditionsĭEPICTION OF ANY REAL-WORLD WEAPON OR VEHICLE IN THIS GAME DOES NOT MEAN PARTICIPATION IN GAME DEVELOPMENT, SPONSORSHIP OR ENDORSEMENT BY ANY WEAPON OR VEHICLE MANUFACTURER.
