Well konig is King....so its king tiger....literally translated.

I would assume Bengal tiger would be BengalischTiger technically....but I get what you mean (Royal Bengal tiger) etc....and germans it seems do call BengalTiger as konigstiger, thats kinda weird but cool.

I like tiger 2 (past the maintenance hog it is), but tiger 1 looked more manly....I think the turret on tiger 2 doesnt look quite manly in its glacis projection (Tiger 1 just shouts "come at me bro"! whacchu got?)

Yep, German kinda works a different way compared to English... I had been enlightened here by a girl friend in my dorm.
I really wish tiger 2 went past the point of mounting the same 8.8... and went with something 10.7, or 122mm (like the Russian is-2 did)
It is sleek but tiger 1 scared the shit out of people.... some tankers would take panzer 4, panthers to be tiger 1 and would actively avoid it in battle...

Anyways the tiger 2 comes with two turrets, a Porsche variant and a henschel one... tbh, Porsche designed his turrets like they were 911 xD I wouldn’t go near that abomination... I like the more angular henschel one.

There weren't many porsche turrets....henschel got the order pretty much.

@Signalian , this short analysis has lot of parallels to what you were mentioning about M1 abrams tank in another thread.

I haven't seen this video before but yes i have been mentioning strategies on similar lines. Years ago, I read military books and discussed with officers, but its easier in videos now.

LOL, Rommel and i think quite alike nah, Rommel did it out there in real, i read on paper and just discussed.
No comparison. Rommel, A real General vs Me, an Arm-chair typist
