i dont understand any of that ? my tank has the aerial on the back of the tank not the turret.im saying ive seen pictures of the tnk with the aerial on the turret so 360 not a problem. its not about what it needs but looking like the actual tank ! i never mentioned a tiger ?

if they are WW II tanks? more generally, located on the upper chassis, apart from a few, such as the Sherman, what is your tank model?

mines a m26 pershing that the tank i looked up and saw pictures of aerial on the turret

Indeed, if Pershing, ditto Sherman, but I reread the post in vain? way nowhere indicated that Pershing? but hey not important

Don't worry, it's an old folk thing, some old uns get obsessed over some ridiculous things

when are you talking about the antenna? Is it to respect the history of the tank? so I would say yes, the antenna, or the antennas (sometimes 2 on this type of tank) and on the turret, if on the upper chassis? when rotating the turret and the length of the barrel? even if this one is flexible, I think the porcelain base may suffer?

on the other hand and confirms above, in our case, 2.4 ghz radio there is no antenna to come out, too short, will not change anything, and must neither be lengthened nor cut!!!
Personally, I would make a specific post on your Pershing, to ask questions, changing the initial title, which has nothing to do with other subjects, this is only my personal opinion, and will avoid any confusion

i only mention it because someone said if my tank turned 360% it would hit the aerial so i looked at pictures and noticed the aerial was on the turret thats all

Who originated the 320 degree turret ring and why?
Perhaps the reason was because the first RC Tank by Heng Long was a Tiger 1 whose aerial would be struck by the main gun if the ring was 360 Degrees after that why would the manufacturer change the turret ring,
The flaw in that argument is that all the predigital Heng Long armour including the Pershing had a whip aerial mounted on the engine bay and the main gun had no difficulty depressing it as it passed and the post digital armour had no external aerial it being an aftermarket accessory.
More likely it was because as has already been mentioned the turning of the turret past 360 degrees would tear the turret wiring out.
