Concerning the German King Tiger Heavy Tank plus the Henschel Production Turret

The 88mm cannon on Tiger I happened to be elongated from 56 to 71 caliber. This brand new L71 high velocity gun could put a 40/43type armor piercing shell through a 150mm dense armor plate when fired from 2000m away. The framework associated with tank would be covered in 150mm thick armor on the front side and 80mm thick armor regarding the edges. The Henschel and Porsche organizations came up with competing turret prototypes. After an endeavor production of 50 tanks built with the Porsche turret, the Henschel turret, co-designed by the Krupp company, along with its excessively dense armor that calculated 180mm in the front and 80mm privately panels, ended up being used for mass-production. The Henschel turret itself was revised mid-way through manufacturing, from a stepped gun mantle to a smooth one. The latest tank was equipped with the motor mass produced the Panther, the Maybach HL230-P30 Fuel Engine. This motor ended up being capable of producing 700hp of output to obtain the 69.8ton King Tiger at a 38km/h top cruising rate.
