An R.A.C 3.d. document of February 1945 estimated that the British (76.2 mm) QF 17-pounder gun, using armour-piercing discarding sabot shot was theoretically capable of penetrating the front of the Tiger II's turret and nose (lower front hull) at 1,100 and 1,200 yd (1,000 and 1,100 m) respectively although, given the lack of a stated angle ...
However, the prototype hull was never manufactured. The turrets were mounted on the first Tiger II's, which were supposed to be armed with a KwK L/71 gun, like its Henschel counterpart. [2] After the VK 45.01 (P) failed to win the contract, Ferdinand Porsche began looking at ways to improve the design for a future version. Based on the latest ...
The earliest ancestor of the E-100 was the Tiger-Maus. It was supposed to be a simplified Maus. The Tiger-Maus was never built, but it was to use components from the Tiger I Ausf. H and a slightly modified turret from the Maus. The E-100 was to be a superheavy combat tank designed to be the replacement for the prototype-only, Porsche-designed Maus.
The Jagdtiger ("Hunting Tiger"; officially designated Panzerjäger Tiger Ausf. B [citation needed]) is a German casemate-type heavy tank destroyer of World War II. It was built upon the slightly lengthened chassis of a Tiger II. Its ordnance inventory designation was Sd.Kfz. 186.
The turret had a maximum armor thickness of 279 mm (11.0 in) [4] compared to 185 mm (7.3 in) [5] on that of the German Tiger II, increasing to 305 mm (12.0 in) on the mantlet; and had a traverse speed of 18 degrees per second, taking 20 seconds for a full rotation. The gun was able to elevate 20°+/-10° from horizontal.

The VK 36.01's turret is lined up, along with the hull and turret of the Panzer VIII Maus super-heavy tank and the Jagdtiger gun mantlet. The VK 36.01 (H) was an experimental German heavy tank , developed during World War II . [ 1 ]
Further deliberation on the VK 70.01’s main armament continued, with Krupp’s favoured 105 mm still being regarded as insufficiently powerful. A turret with longer 128 mm L/35 and 150 mm L/40 turrets would be proposed, with the 1.6 m (5 ft 3 in)-long single-piece ammunition for the latter requiring a large overhang over the rear of the turret.
