RC Tank Legion barrel smoker in a Haya Chieftain with IBU2U board. Two connections plug and play and this is the result. Simply amazing.

Remember the modern machines have fume extractors, that’s why they have the pronounced jet of gun smoke!
Your Tiger is perfect the way it is !!

For old tanks with muzzle brakes it comes out in every direction so still looks pretty good. If you want to see Tigers firing and the real deal smoke first 1/2 of this video...

That looks so awesome! Thanks. I’m certain I’ve seen that video before and others showing Tigers firing and indeed the smoke is impressive. I love seeing those 88s sending a round downrange. Now I’m going to watch that video again.

Good video. I loved the shots from right behind the main gun. I never knew the Germans were into FPV.
And it's interesting that the Germans learned quick to take out the Fireflies first, as they were the biggest threat.
And the footage of that Churchill rolling past was worth the price of admission all by itself.
