So based, roughly on that skin and not overly stressing about historical accuracy

I see a recurring theme here, H'mmm...

Got to keep our Tigers together :thumbup:
I used to play WOT also, but never got hooked on War Thunder. Now I spend my WOT time building tanks.

I'm not a Tiger guy, but I understand the drive sprocket is the same just the hub cap changes between early/mid and late. The late idler was a different diameter (smaller). Then the steel rimmed road wheels and the chevron tracks, turret top, tool placement...

That's why I like the Shermans, all 50,000 were exactly the same! :crazy:

Had a great bunch of help in my Tiger build viewtopic.php?t=35201&start=10 Pages two and three cover the tips on the tracks, sprockets and idlers.
