Which is better tiger tank 1 or king tiger tank?

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.

Are tanks bullet proof?

Only to a certain amount but it does Varies on what Tank it is, How much Armor it has got and where. All Tanks should usually take normal gun bullets but when it omes to tcank shells, it only takes a certain bullet depending on the tank to destroy another tank. e.g. During WW2, The Soviets built the IS-1 Tank to defeat the German Panther and Tiger Tank, which the IS-1 had a 122mm, It was just capable to destroy the German Tiger Tank but required few direct blank shot hits due it's 120mm Armor. So as a response to the IS-1, The Germans brought out the King Tiger Tank which it had at best of 180MM of Armor. The King Tiger had 88mm Highly Explosive Gun. So Tanks are only bullet proof if the ammo hitting the tank doesn't damage or most importantly penetrate the Tank Armor.

Who would win a German King Tiger Tank or a soviet IS-2 tank?

It would depend on where they hit, the crew members,who got the first shot etc... If it was a head on fight King Tiger VS JS 2 from frontal armors. the King tiger would definantly win. but if the JS-2 came up from behind and got a hit on its engine or its side Armour. the JS-2 would have a good chance.
