Nice one John. The asiatam turret ring is a straight swap ? How about gun recoil and elevation?

Hi,
all versions of the panzer iv had a turret ring diameter of 1600mm.
The schmalturm turret for the panther had a ring diameter of 1650mm.
Size and weight limitations would have prevented the combination.
With the production of the ausf J , the panzer iv was just about at the end of its potential.
