KEY OBJECT CHARACTERISTICS | HOW TO GET THE KING TIGER (CAPTURED)
Commanders!
Operation Mirny: Hope is in full swing. Now it's time to focus on the main event reward: the VII King Tiger (захоплений) , the Tier VII Premium American heavy tank. How did this vehicle end up in Mirny? Who found it and pulled it to the base? Is it safe to use it in battle, and how do you use it most effectively?
These questions need answers, and we'll try to find them together in this article. So, here's what we think happened and where the King Tiger (C) came from.
Key Object Characteristics
TOP SECRET
Reporter: Colonel K., Technical Supply Officer
Event location: Mirny
Recipient: Colonel Gromov, Head of the Operation
We studied the King Tiger (C) and brought it to the base. Attached to this report are the details on its technical characteristics.
Key information:
- According to its serial number, this King Tiger (C) was captured by the Allies, supposedly during the Battle of Bulge. The American forces then used it. Its post-war fate is unknown, as is how it ended up in Mirny. I'm asking to send a general request about the Allies and their use of captured vehicles. Perhaps it will help us find additional information about this vehicle.
- The vehicle is equipped with the Serienturm turret and the 8,8 CM KW.K. 43 gun. The hull armor is standard for a vehicle of this type.
- The American military certainly used the King Tiger (C). We discovered several leaflets in English containing the manuals. Also, we found an inscription in Latin on the inside of the hull: Nox Tenebris. We can't say yet how exactly this inscription was made. It looks very natural, as if it appeared during hull casting. We also found a case of cola in excellent condition but without an expiration date. The discovered items were sent to the scientists for analysis. And the idiot who opened and drank one of the bottles headed that way, too.
- The tank has modifications similar to our standard modifications to adapt the vehicles for Mirny. But they look as if they were assembled from what was at hand. I'm not sure that they have any practical use, except for the spotlight. The first thought is that someone tried to copy our solutions to look like our vehicles but not for use. Did they want to look like us?
- The King Tiger (C) is in excellent technical condition. This is not typical of a vehicle of that age. The technicians are thrilled about it and even argue about whose turn it is to maintain the tank. Surprisingly, I share their feelings—it's very cozy, and quite warm and calm inside the tank. However, it has standard heating.
My recommendation: The tank is best suited for use in Random Battles as an effective vehicle for its tier. I don't recommend using it in Mirny. It's too good for it, as if it's itself a part of that town.
