First, the King Tiger is available from Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts with the latest patch (also Tales of Valor). In game however, in order to summon the King Tiger, you must choose the Wehrmacht Army and choose the Terror Doctrine from the 3 different Doctrines. (other 2 being the Defensive Doctrine and Blitzkrieg Doctrine)
Just for extra information, King Tiger can only be called ONCE and cannot be built. Therefore if you lose the King Tiger in the battle, its either lost forever or must be recovered by Bergetiger.
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 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 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
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.

Exxon, although they were Esso at the time.
There's so many different answers to this... The short answer is that it'll fall on the whims of the manufacturer and/or issuing authority. In some cases, they may choose a name which they think invokes a sense of ferocity (ex, Panther tank, Tiger tank, King Tiger tank, Cobra helicopter, etc). In others, it may be for national heroes or historical figures (ex., Sergeant York SP antiaircraft gun, Abrams main battle tank, Patton main battle tank, naval vessels, etc.).
Yes. It was the best in the world.
The slogan "Put a Tiger in Your Tank" was used by the American oil company Esso, which is now known as ExxonMobil. This catchy advertising campaign, launched in the 1960s, aimed to convey the idea of power and energy associated with their gasoline products. The tiger became a recognizable mascot for the brand during that time.
