+ | |With its largest gun, this massive artillery hits for roughly 2,000 damage, but fires at only 1.7 rounds/min. Due to its large damage output, the GW Tiger is one of the most feared artillery on the field. Following the tradition of the other German artillery, the GW Tiger is fairly mobile (although noticeably less so than the [[Hummel]] or [[GW Panther]]) for its size and is capable of speeds of up to 35 km/h. | |||

In 1942, Krupp received orders to design a vehicle (Waffenträger) using the Tiger II’s components, which was to be part of the Grille Series. It was to be able to mount the 170mm K 72 L/50 gun and designated Grille 17. It was ordered that its weight should be 53 to 58 tons. It was also planned to convert the Grille 17 into the Grille 21, armed with 210mm Mortar 18/1 L/31. Next in the series was the Grille 30. It would be armed with the Skoda 305mm GrW L/16 mortar. Additionally, project Grille 42 was under development and was to be armed with the 420mm Grw mortar. In 1943/44, Krupp started production of the prototype, while full-scale production was to start in mid-1945, but the end of the war canceled any further development. | In 1942, Krupp received orders to design a vehicle (Waffenträger) using the Tiger II’s components, which was to be part of the Grille Series.

Grille 17/21/30/42 had its armament mounted on the rail platform inside the hull, allowing it to be dismounted anytime. Each variant was also armed with two 7.92mm machine guns. It would be operated by the crew of eight (Driver, Commander, Gunner, Radio Operator, and four Loaders). Powered by the Maybach HL230P30 or HL230P45, the Grille would be able to travel at a maximum speed of 45 km/h with a range of 250km. Fuel capacity was to be 1000 liters. The Grille was 13 meters long (with gun), 3.27 meters wide, and 3.15 meters high. Its armor protection ranged from 16mm (side) to 30mm (front). The Grille 17 weighed 58,000 kg, but only carried 5 rounds of ammunition. The Grille 21 weighed 52,700 kg and carried only 3 rounds of ammunition. One prototype with a 170mm gun was almost completed in May of 1945, and was captured by British troops at Haustenbeck near Paderborn. | Grille 17/21/30/42 had its armament mounted on the rail platform inside the hull, allowing it to be dismounted anytime.

The G.W. Tiger is a German tier 9 self-propelled gun.
Development of an SPG on the chassis of the Pz.Kpfw. VIB Tiger II started in 1942. The project called for designing a common self-propelled gun carriage for the 17 cm Kanone 72 gun and 21 cm Mörser 18/1 howitzer. The concept of the SPG allowed the use of artillery systems from both the carriage and the ground. Work on building an experimental prototype began in 1945.
With its largest gun, this massive artillery hits for roughly 2,000 damage, but fires at only 1.7 rounds/min. Due to its large damage output, the GW Tiger is one of the most feared artillery on the field. Following the tradition of the other German artillery, the GW Tiger is fairly mobile (although noticeably less so than the Hummel or GW Panther) for its size and is capable of speeds of up to 35 km/h.
The G.W. Tiger leads to the G.W. E 100.
