Here's the small description of each tank.
Tiger II (Panzer VI Ausf. B)
An upgraded version of Tiger I heavy tank. The main gun used a model from Tiger I. The main difference between the models was that Tiger II had sloped armor resembling a Panther tank. It was produced late in the war and in relatively small numbers. While having a great gun and armor, the tank was extremely heavy and slow; so heavy that a lot of smaller bridges couldn’t support its weight.
Both Tiger models were complex and took a lot of time to produce.
IS-2
A Soviet heavy tank that was developed as a successor to the KV tanks. It was named after Soviet leader Joseph Stalin (In Russian, the spelling of his names starts with “I”). With 122 mm gun, it could defeat Panther and Tiger tanks. The 122mm shell had five times the explosive compared to the German 88 guns. Its thick armor was designed to counter German 88mm guns. The IS-2 models first saw action in Ukraine in early 1944. German heavy tanks could knock out the IS-2 but were still easily outgunned by it. They were also solely assigned to the Red Army's elite Guards Heavy Tank Regiments.
