PzKpfw. VI Ausf. B 'Königstiger' (Remastered)

A further remaster of my King Tiger posted around 4 months ago. Now in almost full HD quality. I decided to get as close to the real thing as possible. For instance, I painted it in Dunkelgelb (dark yellow) which was the color almost all tanks of the Panzerwaffe were painted in starting from 1944. The suspension is working quite well. The overall dimensions and weight are different from the real thing, however, as it started to become glitchy (the wheels would twitch around a lot).

Controls:
VTOL+Trim for turret/gun.
Pitch and Roll to move around.
AG1 for main 88 mm gun.
AG2 for hull MG.
AG8 (activated by default) for cupola MG.
AG3 for hull light.

Tiger II is the common name of a German heavy tank of the Second World War. The final official German designation was Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B, often shortened to Tiger B. The ordnance inventory designation was Sd.Kfz. 182. It is also known under the informal name Königstiger (the German name for the Bengal tiger), often translated literally as Royal Tiger, or somewhat incorrectly as King Tiger by Allied soldiers, especially by American forces.

The Tiger II was the successor to the Tiger I, combining the latter's thick armor with the armor sloping used on the Panther medium tank. The tank weighed almost 70 tonnes and was protected by 100 to 185 mm (3.9 to 7.3 in) of armor to the front. It was armed with the long barrelled 8.8 cm KwK 43 L/71 anti-tank cannon. The chassis was also the basis for the Jagdtiger turretless tank destroyer.

The Tiger II was issued to heavy tank battalions of the Army and the Waffen-SS. It was first used in combat with 503rd Heavy Panzer Battalion during the Allied Invasion of Normandy on 11 July 1944; on the Eastern Front, the first unit to be outfitted with Tiger IIs was the 501st Heavy Panzer Battalion, which by 1 September 1944 listed 25 Tiger IIs operational.

Credit to RussianAS for the awesome MG 42 he built. A bit too many pieces, but I gotta tell you: it's amazing!

    @CDRxavier oh well this was built more than 4 years ago, back when I couldn't use blueprints to accurately scale things and when I in general weren't as good of a builder as I am now. It's a very old build that I'm not really looking forward anytime soon to update. Even I don't like it anymore but I keep it around as proof of my activity and progress over time

    I was going to drop a like
    But consider the toxicity from everywhere and the lackluster response from game devs about updating the game's core, I didn't.
    Only the ones that suffered miserably, and some more, are deemed "worthy" by the community and produce truly excellent builds. But by that time, you'd be much better off going either to professional CAD your design (like I am doing) or just play another game.
    Yes, the turret is a bit too big. Not very noticeable, but it instantly thrown all of the german aspect ratio out of the window
    How did you mess it up like that

    @NANOMAN I could upload it on my MediaFire. Not sure if the devs are fine with that.

    I always imagined what a Panther haul with a Tiger turret looked like...

    Beautiful. It's the forced love-child of a Panther and a Tiger.
