Asking for some opinions regarding Tiger 1

[Jay-Em]

Those walking tanks are Nerf Terradrone toys that you can buy at ebay for 40 bucks.

Of yourse you need to transform them into wathever you want.

I looked for them. Mostly sold-out, and those left go for idiotic money. Buuut.. banggood had some stock Attacknids (the forebearers of the nerf Terradrones) left, hence:



And, yes. It still shoots. My very own Evil Walking Death Robot Spider Tank ...

B.o.t

Do whatever looks "cool" I'd say. "What if" leaves soooo many possibilities open. I, basically ònly make "what if" tanks. Super-detailing realistic, historical accurate? Pffft...

[Jay-Em]

You mean ant tank, only has six legs LOL

Whatever, wise ar**

[HammerWihoutASickle]

...but moneys?

Why? What you know? Who sells them?

Hi guys which gun do you all prefer on the tiger 1?

88mm L71
105mm L68
128mm L61

Btw 105mm and 128mm guns listed do not exist in real life. They only exist in world of tanks. But would it look cool on the tiger or could be too big?

128mm from a Jagdtiger

I'm with Jack 128mm

128mm from a Jagdtiger

So, it does exist then? Never realised.

Yes sir. If I'm not mistaken largest round actually fielded in WWII on a tank. It was a 2 piece round and required 2 loaders in the Jagdtiger. But if you're building a what if tank to go up against post or very late war heavy Soviet tanks and you want to use a Tiger I as the starting point I would use King Tiger tracks, add sloped armor plate to the front and ad on plating to the sides and rear. No side fenders or rear only modified front fenders. The turret I would ad counter balance weights to the rear so the 128mm wouldn't pull the turret down. Also I would ad a rocket launcher system that would reside above the counter balance weights to the rear of the turret.

If I were starting from scratch I would use a King Tiger and modify it. Larger tank has more potential IMHO.

Oh I just had a cool idea! Twin mounted 88's with an autoloader system! Mount 2 88's side by side in a turret!

Edit: Talking about barrels. Im with the phone now, sorry for the mistakes.



Sorry Jack, this idea is mine. I wrote it on the first post.

But yes, it would be much cooler than just a massive barrel.

Just somebody tell the OP guy to take a look to the red alert saga soviet tanks, two paralel 88 barrels are definitelly the way to go. It would like really really good and fresh.

What idea? Sorry I didn't read posts prior to mine only the OP.

[jackalope]

Well, it looks like Jack has confirmed it then Rad, having two 88's is the cool way to go two minds and all that.

Thanks Jack, shows how little I know about jagd tigers lol.

Mick.

Very welcome sir. 2 barrels will require a whole custom built turret. It would still require a large counter weight due to the extra gun. I'd still ad a rocket system to the roof of the counter weight behind the cupola and hatches.
