At this point I'm not even gonna promise that this'll be the last version of my Tiger tank.
This time, I wanted to create the best Tiger I can make. This version features a camo, a full interior and several smaller features.
History
The Tiger I was a heavy tank which was in service of the German armed forces during WWII, between 1942 and 1945. The tank was feared by allied forces due to its thick, 100mm frontal armour and its fearful 8.8 cm KwK 36 main gun which was able to penetrate most allied vehicles. The design had many flaws however. It broke down very often (especially the transmission) but it also couldn't go to far distances because of the lack of fuel and due to its size and weight it was hard to transport too. The tank had a maximum speed of 45.4 km/h (28.2 mph)
The tank first saw combat on 23rd of September, 1942 near Leningrad. Soon, Tigers appeared on all fronts and had devastating effects on allied forces. Allied soldiers feared it beacuse sometimes 3-5 Shermans were lost when fighting one Tiger. But the Tiger was still defeated in numbers as only 1347 Tigers were built while the US produced nearly 50000 Shermans. Only 7 Tigers survided 'till this day with Tiger 131 being the only one restored to running condition (which can be seen in the Bovington Tank Museum in England)
Now let's talk about my build:
I've been working on this beauty for several months (beacuse I didn't have much free time due to university). I think the result is pretty good.
The features:
The tank features a main gun with working recoil and a custom built muzzle brake, woodland camo, full interior with several cameras set to crew position, a simplified gun sight of the original Tiger tank, smoke launchers and lights.
Here's a demonstration:
The Main Gun's recoil
The gunsight compared to the original
Hatches

And the lights
Controls:
AG8+pitch - Go Forward/Backward
Roll - Turn
AG1+Trim - Turret rotation
AG1+VTOL - Main gun elevation
AG2+Trim - Turret rotation (shorter range for small adjustments)
AG2+VTOL - Main gun elevation (shorter range for small adjustments)
AG3+Trim - Hull MG horizontal movement
AG3+VTOL - Hull MG vertical movement
AG4 - Commander to cuploa view
AG4+AG5 - Commander hatch open
AG6 - Driver and radioman hatch open
AG7 - Lights
Countermasures button - Launch Smokes
CAM1 - Commander view
CAM2 - Gunner view
CAM3 - Gun sight view
CAM4 - Driver view
CAM5 - Radio operator view
The tank has quite a big part count, but if people really want it, I might as well make a modless version with custom built tracks.
Have fun with this wunderschön panzer!

@B17fan Yes, unfortunately
@WulfLieutnant :(I feel like every good tank has the Tracks 2 mod
@B17fan It's unlikely he will unfortunately :/
Please make a mobile friendly version of this
I love this, it's nearly indestructible! (like a real tiger)
@BMilan One thing I don't like is that most make it with the track mod, can you see if you can make it without the track mod, its fine if you don't want to
@U500771 Ok, I uploaded it, you'll find the link in my bio ;)
@U500771 sure, no problem 🙂
would you mind if i use it in my StuH 42 build if i credit you?
@BMilan
@U500771 Thanks, I'll put it up as unlisted tomorrow and leave the link in my bio 😉 I'm glad you like my tiger 🙂
can you upload the muzzle brake as subassembly? btw this is the most gorgeous tiger i‘ve ever seen on this app😉
👍🏻 Try solid backgrounds or try to get more sky in the pics but I understand that can be hard since it’s a ground vehicle @BMilan
@ChisP I tried to photoshop it so it stands out more: the backround colors are lighter than then tank, I was hoping the red flag and the red letters would also make it stick out more.
But I'll try better next time, thanks for the advice :)
You need to have better screenshots to attract attention. Having a lot of clutter in the same frame as the object, not filling the frame, and the camo make it less attractive. Trying to be helpful @BMilan @QingyuZhou
Yeah I feel bad for your build not getting popular lol @BMilan
@QingyuZhou Still, due to higher follower count, your build has much bigger publicity. Just look at my original 10k Tiger, that thing doesn't have an interior and is 1.5 years old, yet in terms of upvotes, it is still behind your tiger which was only uploaded 9 days ago.
I don't wanna sound like I'm begging for upvotes or something cuz honestly I don't care about upvotes, I share stuff because I like building and want to share my creations with the community, but if you think this build deserves more publicity, you can spotlight it if you want. :)
But I’ve never built a tank with full interior and don’t think I’ll ever try that in the future, lol
@BMilan
@QingyuZhou I think it's because you have like 7 times as many followers as me. Your build reaches a lot more people than mine. Another reason might be the fact that your build has far less parts. I guess that's why yours beat mine.
Plus my build has quite a few flaws as Zippy listed them below.. :(
This site is weird that my simple tiger can beat this in upvotes...
this things fricken amazing
How long did it take you to make this holy cow.
Beautiful I just wish I could use it.
Hans, we lost the transmission
Make a mod free version, I love the build.
