    Seeing the driver often with no-hands on the wheel while moving indicates to me that the track tension must be set extremely well. Probably not an easy task on this vintage beast. It is encouraging to see so many people take such a tremendous interest in these surviving WWII panzers. The last few operational big cats move in some rarefied air these days and give me goose bumps every time I see one still looking and sounding like nothing else on earth.

      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.

      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.

    What an utterly magnificent machine. I'm amazed at how easy it looks to drive. I may be mistaken, but I remember seeing a picture of a Tiger I's interior, where the driver had both a wheel and tillers like in most other tanks, but it looks like its big brother only has the wheel. 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.

There are two issues that I would like to understand: this tank had it's engine been recently restored and by the sound seems that they did a very good job. It has been travelling around Overloon quite a lot and with great care but I am surprised that it is still smoking! Is it because of the rings of some pistons are "holding" badly or it still needs a break-in?
    The other issue is that despite having a regenerative transmission like the Bovington Tiger it seems that the driver is not using the steering wheel but the emergency levers! Compare it to the smooth driving of the Bovington Tiger! Nevertheless I would have loved to drive it around. Good job for the excellent video!!

      Kayzen L7 I don't agree with you because if you watch the documentaries both captured or in German hands they don't smoke almost at all. In truth the Maybach HL230 P30 engines required very skilled mechanics with lot of knowledge to restore those engines well. In my opinion the Jagdpanther at Munster tank museum has the best restored Maybach HL230 compared to the other tanks equipped with this engine. You can see it somewhere on UA-cam on a public demonstration and it os pushed quite hard but you will see no smoke at all nor any misfire and the sound is marvelous and full. It all depends on the skills of the mechanics and the availability of the correct parts that ihas been installed with the correct tolerance...

      Kayzen L7 I have seen a couple, lucky me, of those engines, one belonging to the Wheatcroft collection ready to be installed on one of the Panthers and the other belonging to the Samour tank museum, on display. Both confirmed, some 5 years ago, that those engines were relatively simple but that was built on very tight tolerance and required careful mantainance and continuous checking on the oil partially because of the sealed engine compartment creating a very hot environment with the tendency to overheat. The other problem was the carburetors that had the tendency to catch fire if over priming not to mention leaky pipes! This is what I understood...

    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..

    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.

    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.
