The Tiger II, more commonly known as the ‘King Tiger’ or ‘Royal Tiger’ by Allied troops (Königstiger in German) was a development of the fearsome Tiger I tank. Its introduction in 1944 caused significant problems for the Allies but ultimately it saw action too late and in too fewer numbers to have a game-changing impact on the war.
 
Deployed on both the Western and Eastern fronts, the King Tiger’s long 8.8cm gun had enormous accuracy with the ability to knock out any Allied tank frontally at ranges exceeding 2.5 kilometres (1.6 miles), way beyond the effective range of any Allied tank gun.
 
In games of Bolt Action the King Tiger is a Super Heavy tank armed with a Super Heavy Anti-tank gun, that can be included in Armoured Platoons.
