German WWII, Jagdtiger (Hunting Tiger) Sd.Kfz.186 Ausf.B.

Heavy tank destroyer built on the Tiger II chassis.

The Jagdtiger, at nearly 72 tons, was the heaviest produced armored vehicle used operationally by any nation during WWII and the heaviest combat vehicle of any type to be produced during the conflict (Except the Panzer VIII Maus. Only 2 prototypes were built but never used in combat). With its 128mm PaK 44 L55 main gun, the Jagdtiger could outrange and kill any allied armor. Only about 1/2 of the original order for 150 were ever produced. 

Although 150 were ordered, only around 80 were produced. Due to an excessive weight and an underpowered drivetrain system, the Jagdtiger was plagued with mobility and mechanical problems. While on some occasions the Jagdtiger managed to destroy a number of Allied tanks over long distances from good ambush positions, the effort to produce and maintain them and their mechanical breakdowns made them a costly overall failure. Three Jagdtigers survive in museums.
