The Tiger 1 used the 88mm Kwk L56 gun. The Tiger 2 (King Tiger) used the 88mm KwK 43 L/71 which had a significantly longer barrel and had a larger cartridge. Although based on a similar design these are different guns with the KwK 43 being significantly more powerful.

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.
