You thank the radio operator for the information, then ask him to keep silent about it to the rest of the crew.

Without the rest if the crew knowing, you go up to the fastest runner in your crew and ask him to scout some made-up object of importance in the direction of the beetles.

While he's gone, you get the entire crew to try and fix the engine, and tell the gunner to get into position and load the cannon. The beetles duel each other once they see a man, so that'll buy you some time.

The Tiger II's gun is a an 8.8 cm PaK 43, the most powerful anti-tank gun to be used by the Wehrmarcht in WW2. It can hit up to 914 metres away and could pierce even the Soviet IS-2s.

Your runner that you sent may or may not come back, but if he doesn't buy enough time for you, use the PaK to fire on the beetle army. Aim for the front-runners to try and trip up their comrades behind them. That carapace looks like it wasn't built for speed, so tell your gunner to focus on firing as fast as you can.

If you can repair the engine before they reach you, pile on in and drive as fast as you can. The Tiger II's secondary gun, 7.92 MG-34, may not be enough to kill them but might wound them enough to slow them down, so use it to cover your retreat.
