===Command variant=== The command variant of the Tiger II was designated ''Panzerbefehlswagen'' Tiger ''Ausf. B''. It had two versions, ''Sd.Kfz''. 267 and ''Sd.Kfz''. 268. These had reduced ammunition capacity (only 63 rounds of 8.8 cm ammunition) to provide room for the extra radios and equipment,<ref name="J&D16"/> and had additional armour on the engine compartment. The ''Sd.Kfz''. 267 was to have used ''FuG'' 8 and ''FuG'' 5 radio sets, with the most notable external changes being a {{convert|2|m|ft|adj=mid|-long|spell=in}} rod antenna mounted on the turret roof and a ''Sternantenne D'' ("Star antenna D"), mounted on an insulated base (the 105 mm ''Antennenfuß Nr. 1''), which was protected by a large armoured cylinder. This equipment was located on the rear decking in a position originally used for deep-wading equipment.<ref name="J&D16"/> The ''Sd.Kfz''. 268 used ''FuG'' 7 and ''FuG'' 5 radios with a two-metre rod antenna mounted on the turret roof and a 1.4 metre rod antenna mounted on the rear deck.<ref>Jentz and Doyle 1993, pp. 16–17.</ref>
