Offensive language aside, the King Tiger was a mechanical piece of junk. It was too large and heavy for the metallurgy of the time, so suspension, steering gear and transmissions frequently broke. It always was plagued with very dangerous fuel leaks. Most King Tigers never ever saw combat as they broke down so frequently. The King Tiger in this video even though it's being used in light duty museum service has had its transmission fail several times. It was also very underpowered. On top of that, it was too big to cross that vast majority of bridges in Europe as its great weight would caused bridges to collapse. Not a good tank.
@@HiTechOilCo True enough. Still, in limited numbers as 'shock tanks' it could have some degree of usefulness - first tiger caused well documented 'Tiger psychosis' where every German tank was seen as Tiger, even though on eastern front there were days were only 50 or so were operational. It spread more fear among western Allies. Of course, Panther & Jagdpanther were just enough to kill anything on battlefield, especially with Pak40 long round

I was referring to the fact that most of the tiger, king tiger, and panther tanks were scrapped after the war instead of being preserved for history. Their destruction didn't have anything to do with winning or losing the war because it occurred after the surrender and end of hostilities. Look at what they're worth now! I feel the same about many other historical vehicles, planes, and ships. The US has done more to preserve historical ships than most other nations and they are very popular tourist attractions.
There was a different time, a more terrible war with the use of nuclear weapons was planned, and history was thought of last, the metal was needed for the new equipment. Even the T-34-85, the most massive tank of the Second World War, did not have much, and the T-34-76 units

What an utterly magnificent machine. I'm amazed at how easy it looks to drive.

The driver didn't look like he was working very hard to turn the wheel as he drove; I am floored that a nearly seventy-ton machine can be driven with such little effort.
Thank you for this fantastic video. It's so cool, that you filmed the Königstiger whith your drone. The look from above the trees is awesome. Thank you very much.
I once saw a video on you tube of this Tiger 2 being moved from a shed and it had to drive past a Sherman tank parked nearby and I remember thinking the Sherman looks like a child's toy next to the Tiger, It looked old fashioned and the Tiger 2 looked like a Hi-Tech, Modern Design, Sleek and angular, The Sherman looked like an old fat 1930's American automobile.

It's not about dislike or hate, this tank is part of German history, but this tank wasn't the best German Tank. It is wonderful to see it revived and put back to original.
ben 84 jaar en al deze oorlogsvoertuigen doen bij mij weer die tijd herleven. alles is robuust doelbewust eenvoudig & oersterk en ....... zonder richtingaanwijzer !!! fantastisch mooie dingen kunnen wij maken als wij willen.
Drove a Leopard 1 in Germany 2017 (panzerkutscher.de), the steering was as easy as it seems to be here - except when driving a curve. Had to grab the steeringwheel harder and push it stronger, too. Leo or Königstiger: when driving a curve you need to accelerate to keep the rpm from dropping.
What an awesome experience - thanks for bringing us along. I actually got my username from the King Tiger mission in Medal of Honor Allied Assault all those years ago. Still my favorite tank by far.

A good family friend was a Tiger I driver during the war. Just let that sink in for a sec how that must have been. Not to mention challenging asf during combat.
Ah the mighty King Tiger/Tiger II on the move, and a fine looking tank it is too. Once men ran away from these beasts, now people from all over over the world come to watch the mighty cat on the prowl....:) Forget the mechanical problems, which must be expected because of the technology the Germans employed back then to design and build the beast. Was it effective, and a bit late to the battles? Also difficult to transport, having to avoid most bridges, I don't really know, but nice to see a fully working survivor rumbling about, and this one is kept happy with lots of love and careful maintenance to keep it moving, for our enjoyment. But image the look of a tank crew in a Sherman looking at this beast front on, knowing that an 88mm will shortly be paying them a visit! I liked how the yellow vested chaps were directing where the Tiger II should go, with the driver knowing full well, that he could drive it any damn where he likes...., and good luck with them trying to stop him....:) It was nice to see the short clips of the driver er, driving it, as I hadn't seen the inside of one yet, but probably there are reviews of it inside the turret and hull on YT somewhere........I must have a look around. The sound of its engine to allied troops must have been enough to know that this heavily armoured beast was heading their way looking for trouble... Thanks for posting this video..

Outdoors Bushman is just fuel exploding in the exhaust, in the beginning he is driving a bit “to rich”
All I’m saying is, this is by far my favorite tank ever from history it’s such a beautiful beast and a good looking tank
What a job that would be, getting to drive around and help operate WWII panzers and keep them running!
The old Beast runs sehr gut!
😛 Always a fun day when the Tigers get to come out and play.
Thank you for this fantastic video. It's so cool, that you filmed the Königstiger whith your drone. The look from above the trees is awesome. Thank you very much.
Have a new video online with the King Tiger, this one also has inside and drone views ;)
I once saw a video on you tube of this Tiger 2 being moved from a shed and it had to drive past a Sherman tank parked nearby and I remember thinking the Sherman looks like a child's toy next to the Tiger, It looked old fashioned and the Tiger 2 looked like a Hi-Tech, Modern Design, Sleek and angular, The Sherman looked like an old fat 1930's American automobile.
Фантастика. Очень круто.
As an American kid growing up watching WW2 documentaries the Tiger II still my favorite Tank. Glad it survived beautiful machine. The germans in ww2 had the cool toys.
It is indeed very impressive and very advanced for the time. Make sure to like and subscribe and hit the bell button to keep updated when a new video comes online. Also check my other videos to see the Köningstiger, Panther and Stug in action also inside 😉 and much more
This is no tank.... It's a god damn MONSTER!
I am glad this was in my recommended videos. Such a glorious and terrifying machine at the same time!
The great king tiger such an amazing tank if everyone took a moment just to look at the pure beauty of that battle monster think about what it would be like to be inside one vs anything else during that time it was a true killing machine
It's not about dislike or hate, this tank is part of German history, but this tank wasn't the best German Tank. It is wonderful to see it revived and put back to original.
Amazing work to keep it running, legendary design, the best looking tank of the 20th century
What a great insight into something so rare for us to see and hear ! Thank you for the video.
ben 84 jaar en al deze oorlogsvoertuigen doen bij mij weer die tijd herleven.
alles is robuust doelbewust eenvoudig & oersterk en .......
zonder richtingaanwijzer !!!
fantastisch mooie dingen kunnen wij maken als wij willen.
omg the noise really !!! think the tank crews from WW2 are having hard time hearing after the ride omg
Yes the noise really shocked me especially from the inside view... WOW
Imagine the noise of a high explosive Shell hiting the outside of the Armor..... Truly terrifying
@@schlinkmeister9834 dam ur truly right there
I cant imagine honestly @@schlinkmeister9834?
Unique experience for sure!!!
mmarkie1223 You dont know, it’s an awesome sweet-sweet sound.
Der Tiger ist natürlich in der Produktion eines komplexen Panzers, aber ich mag ihn trotzdem
I absolutely love the sound!This is the music, which many can't appreciate, sadly.
Hail victory, brothers. We'll take back what is ours soon enough.
My God, I'd never surrender
They probably wouldn’t have if Goering cared as much for the Luftwaffe as he did his morphine.
Said that wen gasoline is over😂😂😂
Germans do really well. Its an amazing machine for 1940s
Not german this NAZİ germany
"I'm having trouble seeing. Fritz, deploy the drone!"
Deploying them *sekrit* document Ufos
And yes the sekrit was on purpose
I like the way there are mirrors on that course so the driver can see if anything is coming around the corner... like he cares in that thing!
Prachtige beelden , ook vanuit de binnenkant terwijl ie rijdt !
Nice images from the inside too !
Bert Tijsse Klasen Thanks!
I've seen him in saumur museum : huge beast indeed ...
It is the Tiger II of Saumur ?
Well ... It wears the same number 233 on the turret !
le pri anto yes it is
really best tank in the world for all time
Absolut top! Wonderful! Marvelous! Awesome! The real thing! Thanx!
I would love to see a King tiger built today with modern materials and equipment.
You know, that would be beast.
Drove a Leopard 1 in Germany 2017 (panzerkutscher.de), the steering was as easy as it seems to be here - except when driving a curve. Had to grab the steeringwheel harder and push it stronger, too.
Leo or Königstiger: when driving a curve you need to accelerate to keep the rpm from dropping.
my man! that 70t of metal steerings like my car. he is steering it single hand!
I love the panther but this video has me moving closer to the tiger2 as the coolest. Thx for sharing this. Drone footage was superb
I'll take an L6/40 or Type 95 any day. But that's just me.
Have a new video online with the King Tiger, this one also has inside and drone views ;)
WJHJ thanks

Commander: no

Backfires? lmao
“Oh wait, that’s a P47....everybody out!”
Just teeth stripping off in the final drives.
Old Man,Porta,Tinny,Legionare,Barcelona,Sven Hassel.
That engine sounds AMAZING!!!! Purring like a Tiger!!
What an awesome experience - thanks for bringing us along. I actually got my username from the King Tiger mission in Medal of Honor Allied Assault all those years ago. Still my favorite tank by far.
i wish the maus was drivable......
Could be it just depends on how big your wallet is
animenut69 I mean, if you can fix a tank that hasn’t moved since WWII go right ahead...
The one at Kubinka has a functioning engine, but the Russians haven't started it or done maintenance since their trials with it in 1945
@@1yoan3это ты правильно заметил
@@1yoan3 You are a child, play toys.
Wow.....hab den schon paar mal auf Videos gesehen.....aber nie wie es von innen aussieht wenn er fährt. Bin schwer angetan von der Steuerung und der Lautstärke. Das Fahren muss recht einfach gewesen sein für den Fahrer, aber die Lautstärke in dem Fahrzeug....heftig.
1km durch den wald, 20 liter super weg ^^
that steering wheel is soft just like in modern cars:)
What a beautiful machine. Hat is off to the dudes keeping her in good condition.
YES!!! Finally some different and better footage.
Volkspanzer thanks!!
Feel free to share the RUclipslink 😉
I can feel the Panzerkampfwagen running through my blood
This is better than porn and that's saying a lot.
Agreed
Tank Crew: "Herr Feldwebel, we are surrounded!!"
Tank Commander: "Very good! Now we can shoot in every direction."
Quite a beast of a tank!
It is impressive that such a sophisticated machine was built in the 40s
Glorious Supreme Leader of Shitholistan indeed, was well ahead of its time
i did never informed myself and therefore im quite suprised and happy to see one in working order. also the startup is just georgeous
Em P a similar video but of the Panther is coming soon. Might be something else you like 😉
@@WJHJ does it have the same flywheel emurgency startup? I gotten quite a ww2 tank fan as i started playing war thunder and the german nation in it so jeah im quite interested into seeing this old warriors comming back to life once more.
Em P think I have put it in the video of the Panther. Would need to check it
Made my eyes wet... What a marvelous machine ! That engine sound... Sweet music...! It could also made my pants wet if I was fighting against one of these babies....
Made in Germany, not made in China! :-)
Agree)))) gut
Still it broke down frequently.
Was still a kind of protoytpe, dont forget the short development phase, today any car breaks down frequently even when produced since 5 years due to shitty China Electronics and dont forget the new Boeing 737, falls of the sky frequently :-))))
@@HiTechOilCo just shut the fuck up
@@HiTechOilCo Yeah it's true and what's the matter?
Oversized and unreliable, but still my favorite tank. It just radiates raw power.
Axel Milan not necessarily over sized just underpowered, could of helped if it was a bit lighter though.
@@Aussiefps The Tiger II could be better if they had more time, more ressources and a better desinge for the engine placement and the suspension
An outstanding tank for the wrong war, back then it was quantity over quality
A good family friend was a Tiger I driver during the war. Just let that sink in for a sec how that must have been. Not to mention challenging asf during combat.
Ah the mighty King Tiger/Tiger II on the move, and a fine looking tank it is too.
Once men ran away from these beasts, now people from all over over the world come to watch the mighty cat on the prowl....:)
Forget the mechanical problems, which must be expected because of the technology the Germans employed back then to design and build the beast.
Was it effective, and a bit late to the battles?
Also difficult to transport, having to avoid most bridges,
I don't really know, but nice to see a fully working survivor rumbling about, and this one is kept happy with lots of love and careful maintenance to keep it moving, for our enjoyment.
But image the look of a tank crew in a Sherman looking at this beast front on, knowing that an 88mm will shortly be paying them a visit!
I liked how the yellow vested chaps were directing where the Tiger II should go, with the driver knowing full well, that he could drive it any damn where he likes...., and good luck with them trying to stop him....:)
It was nice to see the short clips of the driver er, driving it, as I hadn't seen the inside of one yet, but probably there are reviews of it inside the turret and hull on YT somewhere........I must have a look around.
The sound of its engine to allied troops must have been enough to know that this heavily armoured beast was heading their way looking for trouble...
Thanks for posting this video..
Trillock 1945 will ad a similar kind of video of the Panther soon 😉
@@WJHJ
Will look forward to it.....and thanks for the reply.....:)
Wow you can drive this beast with the tips of your fingers @2:35
A river of testosterone is flowing in the driver's veins
that would be a dream to drive this amazing machine
Amazing! And built it in the 40s! Unbelievable!
It is indeed. How technicaly advanced it was for it’s time. As you could see how easy it was to drive such a heavy tank … If you liked this video, make shure to subscribe and hit the bell button to keep posted. I also have other separate videos where you can see The driving experience of other tanks like the STUG III and Panther. There is also a new video coming online this week of a vehicle not yet beeing the subject on this channel so far 😉
Cara parabéns pelo vídeo por mostrar p nos esse tanque que foi um ícone da segunda guerra mundial saudações de Brasil
