Welcome to the forum Tyrantking. The more Tiger lovers the merrier.

The Tiger1 was the tank I rushed to play in WOT years ago (12 ish) and more recently I aquired a new skin for it...

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

I used to play WoT, Now on War Thunder
I see a recurring theme here, H'mmm...
Got to keep our Tigers together
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!
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.
