# Tiger II (10.5 cm Kw.K)

Role
: Heavy Tank

## [General information](/md/rv/vehicles/tiger-ii-105-cm-kwk.md#general-information)

Description
: The **Tiger II (10.5 cm Kw.K)** is a Heavy Tank representing a hypothetical upgunned variant of the German Königstiger, armed with a **105 mm KwK L/68** in place of the standard 8.8 cm KwK 43. The historical [Tiger II](/md/rv/vehicles/tiger-ii.md) entered service in 1944 with thick sloped armour and a powerful 88 mm gun; a 105 mm option was studied but never fielded. Weighing 69.8 tonnes, it is crewed by five — driver, gunner, bow gunner, commander, and loader — and is powered by an **MB HL234** diesel producing 900 horsepower for 12.9 hp/t and a top speed of 42 km/h forward and 11.1 km/h in reverse, with neutral steering.
Main armament is the 105 mm gun with a 12-second reload and HE, PzGr 39, and PzGr 40 ammunition; secondary weapons include coaxial and commander **7.92mm MG34** machine guns, a bow MG, and a loader-operated grenade mortar for smoke and fragmentation. The commander and bow turrets are stabilized; the gunner has a 2.5x and 5x telescope plus a 15x optical rangefinder.
