Introduction
The Tiger I, a German heavy tank of World War II, operated from 1942 in Africa and Europe, usually in independent heavy tank battalions. Its late war designation was Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf. E. The early war variant was designated Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf. H1. Often, people refer to both of the variants as Tiger. The Tiger I gave the German Army its first armoured fighting vehicle that mounted the 8.8 cm KwK 36 gun (derived from the 8.8 cm Flak 36). 1,347 were built between August 1942 and August 1944. After August 1944, production of the Tiger I was phased out in favour of the Tiger II.
Features
- A near-realistic loaded weight of 57 tonnes.
- An 88mm cannon with 92 shells.
- Strong but controllable recoil.
- A near-perfect look with only 162 parts.
- 690 HP engine.
- Crewmembers can be seen in X-Ray.
Controls
- Pitch for acceleration and reverse.
- Roll for steering.
- VTOL for turret traverse.
- Trim for gun elevation and depression.
- Fire guns to fire secondary MG-34.
- Fire weapons to fire the 8.8 cm KwK 36.
Notes
- Don't fire the cannon to the side in slow-mo. The tires have a glitch which will send the tank flying. Literally.
- Also be careful when going off road in slow-mo. This is because of that same glitch.
- The cannon has 4.5 seconds reload.
- The speed of the tank is a bit faster than the real one.
- The entire part of the tank has raised hitpoints from 500-10000.
I hope you enjoy the build.

Yay! A tank with an actual cannon!
Right, I've got the idea!
@TheBritishAviator Alright, that's good. Will be looking forward to that.
I got ya. Good to know as I'm planning on building a Cromwell.
@TheBritishAviator The resized cannon at the very front of the custom gun gives the recoil. Then it is absorbed by the shock absorbers and thus making it look better than the stock cannon recoil. This method is now common in tank buildings. You should try making one, and see what you can come up with.
Ahh I see, how does the recoil work?
@TheBritishAviator Creating it from scratch using fuselage and shock absorbers.
How do you get a custom cannon that actually recoils?
very cool and goes to show you dont need a million parts to make a pleasing build! Mind you it would look awesome with some iron crosses/unit insignia.
This is very well-built! nice job!
