which in a way is good so now you can use artistic license, these guys are definitely on or were on the Russian front, it looks like they have picked up some tips from the Russians who would use searchlights on their tanks during night assaults....

sure its a searchlight and not an early infa red lamp for night fighting?

such as the example here....

i would say its not an IWS its definitely a standard light, as no tigers were fitted with this system....

No that is just search lights when you think of it its a good idea the infrared that the panthers had is more like this on the capola.
