Romm Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I have to notice that the tiger middle production of CMBN behaved of the iron pebbles. while this version possesses pebbles with rubber bands 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArgusEye Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Wheels wore out. Even mid-production Tigers could be found with steel roadwheels by this point in the war. Although it was probably modeled like this because it saves on separate design in the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 The 'real' difference between mid and late production Tiger Is (and Panther As, for that matter) in the game is that impossibly-long-named roof mortar installed on lates. Wheel types would make no tactical difference. 'Eye candy' differences include the mid using the old binocular gunner's site with the late using the monocular sight (I can't imagine how they'd model the difference), and welded-on mounts fro a crane on the late turret roof. I just pulled out a reference book. Yup, steel wheel vehicles with the binoc gunners sight. Whether there's a roof mortar is impossible to tell from photos, though fielding of those mortars was badly behind schedule. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nidan1 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Excuse me, but in what language could "Pebble" translate into "Wheel"? Just curious, and without the pictures would anyone have known what Romm was referring to, am I missing something.? Steel roadwheels began to be installed on Tigers in Feb of 1944. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juju Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 that impossibly-long-named roof mortar Come on Mikey. Say it with me: Nah-ver-tei-di-gungs-waf-fe. Such a fun word to say. If you know how. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romm Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 Is itself true that I poorly expressed myself. I speak wheels. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrassEm Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Need full steel road wheel pics please to compare. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatmasta Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Do you note that the wheels on BN Tiger seems to be in wrong order? There the first wheel is in the inner row but all the other pics have the first wheel in outer row. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArgusEye Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 The BN Tiger looks like it is missing its outer set of road wheels. Maybe it rolled right off the train without time to put them back on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Steel wheel road wheels did away with the outer set of wheels. The rubber-rimmed disk type had an extra outer set that increased the likelihood of mud and snow packing between them and causing problems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romm Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 I am in agreement on the problêmes of the wheels of the tigers, but why to have forgotten them in the game? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nidan1 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 http://www.alanhamby.com/changes.shtml This site gives a month by month listing of changes and modifications to the Tiger 1 over its service lifetime. Romm, I think it was mentioned earlier that it was a software design issue of the game, and not a historical oversight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
