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).
