The King Tiger was a modern marvel, and remained unmatched in one-on-one combat. Technologically superior, with greater firepower and better armour than the Soviet IS-2, the King Tiger was a formidable opponent. However, the IS-2 was lighter, more manoeuvrable and most importantly, far more numerous. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs well as analysing how different designs and technology helped and hindered each tank, this book also discusses how these weapons affected and shaped the overall strategy of the German and Soviet forces. Ultimately, with overwhelming numerical superiority, the Soviets were able to simply overwhelm their opponents, negating the technical superiority of the King Tiger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40945999577185,"sku":"9781849084048","price":15.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_27364409.jpg?v=1721724149","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781849084048-king-tiger-vs-is-2","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
