The King Tiger featured virtually impenetrable armor on its front and sides, but was vunerable at the rear. The enormous weight of the tank (70 tons) put huge demands on the drive train, resulting in frequent mechanical problems.

So, despite its limitations, it was a frightening vehicle for the allied troops who had to face it.
