The King Tiger tank had a maximum speed of 40 km/h on roads, this is achieved by 650+ horsepower engine but the speed drops drastically by about 25-30 km/h during cross country.
The tiger is six and the king tiger is seven Clarification: both the Tiger 1 and Tiger 2 (King Tiger) are designated Panzerkampfwagen VI (or panzer 6) the tiger 2 being designated Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf.B Tiger II. I'm not sure what a Panzer 7 was.
There was only two tigers, the tiger 1, which was very powerful and armourd but slow. The king tiger, twice the power and armore, but was twice as slow. The Tiger 1 and Tiger 2 had the same top road speed. Go to Wikipedia for more info.
Germany......................................................................................................
The Tiger 1 could reach a speed of 24 mph .
the tiger 1 was a really great tank. Tank commanders like Erwin Rommel used tigers. on the other hand the armor of the king tiger was used to reflect or ricochet shells all that armor made the tank heavier. The tiger was formed during the Battle of Kursk, when the germans were trying to figure out a way to protect their flak 88s while setting them up. They put armor around the 88 which formed the tiger. My tank would be the tiger its faster more powerful and more armor. The king tigers were rarely used after the battle of Remagen.

The Tiger 1 tank has a crew of 5, I know this because of a book called Tanks inside out. (The Tiger 2 or King Tiger also has a crew of 5)

The Tiger was an incredible tank. The Allies were incredibly lucky the Germans just couldn't build them fast enough.
The Arjun has a biggr cannon, is faster, and has a longer range. Plus, it has modern equipment. Don't blame the King tiger, though. It was the best tank of it's day by far.
no
Basically, in 1942, the Germans knew they needed a tank to put a fast end to the war, so thye started production on a powerful tank that would be able to destroy any Russian or American tank. The purpose of the tiger tank was for Germany to have the best tank in the world that couldn't be stopped.
The German King Tiger Tank - "Panzerkampfwagen VI Konigstiger" aka Panzer VI. http://www.worldwar2aces.com/panzer-tank/kingtiger/
Yes. It was the best in the world.
