Captured in Luxembourg. Most powerful tank in service in 1944.
Mechanically unreliable.  Heavy and underpowered. Equipped
with a new 8.8 cm gun. Heavy sloped armor gives it improved
protection. Designed for defensive warfare or to break through
strong defenses. Turret is unusually long to accommodate the
new gun. When buttoned up the tank is very blind. A weakness.
