Cost: — Size: Huge The 63-ton Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger was a German heavy tank employed during WWII from mid-1942 to mid-1944, when it was phased out in favor of the Königstiger. Although similar to a Panzer IV, it has much heavier armor and a super-powerful, highly-accurate 88mm main gun. It has a number of major weaknesses, including chronic track failures, expensiveness to maintain, and a tendancy to become immobilized in cold conditions. Besides its 88m main gun, it's equipped with two MG34s, one turret-mounted and one bow-mounted. The vehicle has a length of 21 feet, a width of 12 feet, a height of 10 feet, and a crew of five: A commander, gunner, loader, driver, and assistant driver. The tank has an operational range of 120 miles. Multiattack. The tank makes two MG34 attacks. 88mm Antitank Cannon: Ranged Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, range 1,000/3,000 ft., one target. Hit: 20d10 piercing damage. The 88mm antitank cannon has the reload (10 shots) property. Targets with natural armor or worn armor take a penalty to AC against the 88mm Antitank Cannon determined by referencing their AC against the following table:
MG34 General-Purpose Machine Gun: Ranged Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, range 300/900 ft., one target. Hit: 5d8 piercing damage. The MG34 General-Purpose Machine Gun has the burst fire and reload (250 shots) properties. A Panzer VI Tiger is typically equipped with 9,200 rounds of MG34 ammunition and 88 75mm shells. Panzerkampfwagen VI Königstiger (King Tiger)The King Tiger is basically the same as the Tiger, the main differences being in the transmission, suspension, automotive, and ease-of-maintenance features. You can use the same statistics as the Tiger to represent it in play. Just remember that it is a lot cheaper to maintain, it doesn't break down so easily, and it doesn't freeze solid in the cold, and you should be good. |
