The Panzer II (officially Panzerkampfwagen II) was a family of light tanks produced by Nazi Germany and employed in the early years of World War II. Initially developed as a stopgap while more advanced medium tanks (such as the Panzer III and Panzer IV) were still in production, it went on to serve as the primary light tank within German Panzer divisions during the Polish, French, North African, and early Eastern Front campaigns .
The Tiger II—officially known as the Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B and commonly nicknamed the King Tiger or Königstiger—is one of Nazi Germany’s most formidable heavy tanks of World War II. Developed as an improvement over the Tiger I, it sought to combine devastating firepower with thick, well-sloped armor, making it a fearsome opponent on the battlefield despite its relatively limited production and mechanical challenges.
The FV 214 Conqueror—officially known as the Tank, Heavy No. 1, 120 mm Gun, FV214 Conqueror—was Britain’s answer to the post–World War II challenge of countering new Soviet heavy tanks, particularly the IS-3. Conceived during the early Cold War, the Conqueror was designed to fill the niche of a heavy gun tank capable of engaging enemy armor at long range while working in support of Centurion units. It represents the culmination of the FV200 series of “Universal Tanks,” a family that sought to balance mobility, firepower, and armor within a single versatile chassis
The Tiger I—officially designated the Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf. E (Sd.Kfz. 181)—is one of World War II’s most iconic heavy tanks. Introduced into service in 1942, it combined formidable firepower with thick, well-angled armor that made it a fearsome opponent on the battlefield.

The Char B1 is one of France’s most iconic heavy tanks—a true “Char de Bataille” (battle tank) designed from the interwar period and seeing extensive service in the early years of World War II. Conceived to break through fortified enemy lines, the tank was built to combine powerful firepower with formidable armor, and its design incorporated a dual-gun layout rarely matched by its contemporaries.
The Mark II Tank is one of the early British heavy tanks developed during World War I. Emerging shortly after the historic Mark I, the Mark II was produced in small numbers—about 50 units—and was used largely as a stopgap and training vehicle until more refined designs could be available. Although it shared many features with the Mark I, subtle modifications were introduced to streamline production and, in some cases, to slightly improve performance.
