This group is for everyone who like tanks, sci-fi tanks, real tanks, funny tanks, you can put here tank mods, tank maps, simply everything with straps, armor and gun :D
I doubt that they dint added Tiger turret on the Panther because it would look ugly most likely because the turret ring wouldn't fit or it is too heavy also weaker engine.
Aswell on tanks functionality goes over design.
Tiger tank was that blocky because it got firstly developed as Breaktrough Vehicle/Durchbruch Wagen which kinda looked like oversized Panzer III Chassis the idea/concept of it was developed around earlier 1930-40's era or so.
At that time the German engineers wasn't aware of how important the sloped armor concept was back then, most other nations wasn't either or where in prototype stage I think.
Imagine if the tiger already hard *** steel was sloped like this from production start, i like how this combination looks.
I think the reason the didn't do it this way is because the Tiger turret looks a bit ugly on the elegant panther lol
But it's a nice combo ;)
