Description Even as the Tiger IE was proving itself on the battlefields of the Eastern front the German high command had already begun requesting an even more powerful heavy tank. Henschel and Porsche were asked to provide designs.
Krupp designed a new heavy 8.8cm tank gun based on the ballistics of the Rheinmetall 8.8cm Flak41 gun.
The new gun shared much of the performance of the FlaK41, but due to its requirements as a tank gun much of the physical design changed to fit it into a turret.
The two different designs had many differences in the hull, transmission and suspension. Porsche maintained it focus on electric transmission as they had with their Tiger I prototype (which eventually became the hull of the Ferdinand/Elefant). Their design was rejected in favour of the Henschel prototype.
The Henschel version used a conventional hull design with sloped armour resembling the layout of the Panther tank. It had a rear-mounted engine and torsion bar suspension similar to the original Tiger. To simplify maintenance the wheels were overlapping rather than interleaved as in the Tiger I.
All Tiger IIs were produced by Henschel. Two turret designs were used on the Tiger II. The initial design is sometimes called the Porsche turret due to the belief that Porsche designed it for their prototype. This turret is in fact simply the initial Krupp design for both prototypes, however Krupp did start initial production of this design under Porsches instructions.
This turret had a rounded front and steeply sloped sides, with a curved bulge to accommodate the commanders cupola, which proved a weak point in the armour. The under curve of gun mantlet also acted as a shot trap deflected shots down into the weak top armour of the drivers position. Fifty early turrets were mounted on Henschels hull and used in action.
