How Bad Was The Tiger II?

I've often used the German Tiger II heavy tank as a point of comparison in this series, so it's about time I talked about it in earnest. Much like its predecessor, the Tiger I, online communities either see the Tiger II as the best or worst tank ever. That's an exaggeration of course, but opinions are very polarized. With that in mind, let's delve into the history of this famous World War II heavy tank.
