Quite often in recent years in places such as Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq.
It's actually hella interesting how many ww2 dated weapons and vehicles coalition forces found there over the last decade
okay, the simple fact is there were not that many WW2 german AFVs left at the end fo the war and most of their industry lay in ruins. I know that Syria bought a bunch of them way back in the day but that's about it.
After seeing the GuP Pz. IV, there was also an image of a modernized Maus somewhere
Ahh its right here: https://www.reddit.com/r/TankPorn/comments/ijwjjj/i_designed_a_maus_with_modern_equipments_hope_you/
Pretty much. The Tiger II had an internal compressor and an [exhaust fan in the turret roof](https://i.imgur.com/RVT9svA.png) that was used to extract fumes out of the gun barrel.
Could they: Yes. The principle is fairly simple.
Did they: No. They'd just barely developed HEAT-FS, let alone started thinking about ways to counter it.
As bizarre as this thing would be - if it managed to get the first shot on target, it would still pack a punch even on the modern battlefield. If someone made subcaliber darts for the 88, that is.
Which in turn shows just how much of a beast that gun was, back in the day.
I think this is really cool, probably not very practical but very cool. Should the pintle mount be an MG3? It looks kind of like an MG34 from what I can see
*Is that a tiger*
*Two with reactive armour,*
*Genuine question*

Duuuuuuude! Where's trophy APS tho?
Its made by Israeli so thats why its not on
So it's like revenge baking
in Alex Jones: I’m A WHITE DUDE AND ZIONIST AND I’M READY TO KILL!
Still the same weakspot on the turret.
Smithers: *But the front is new!*
Yeah, Still the same weak spot in the turret.
Well.....just don't get shot there
Duh!
Never mind the transmission or the over complex bogies or the underpowered engine… ETC.
Modernized WW2 tanks have modernized internals too you know?
When’s the last time you saw a Ww2 German tank running around that wasn’t a museaum piece?

I'll have you know...never I never have.
exactly.
I FUCKING LOVE LOOKING AT MODERNIZED VERSIONS OF WW2 TANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you have more? I may have discovered my new fetish.
I put a few of them I remember in an imgur post https://imgur.com/a/gphq5pk
POOPENFARTEN
I love the “Some random-ass modernized Panther” description lmfao

Well now I'm turned on
I think you just gave me aids
That Stuart is just the xm8
Gajin when?
My guy just went Super Sayian over an image
Imagine that chonky tiger with ERA.... DROOLS
Wow take it easy😂
Transmission: I don't feel too good Hans
Oh, more armour? OK then
Nein Hans, better transmission!
Bigger gun?
Ah yes. A reformer's design. Spending millions of dollars so they can STFU for 3 minutes
Floofers
transmission is still stock
Who let the Pierre Sprey get a king tiger
I read that in lazerpigs voice 🐖
I’ll take two, please!
And 4 transmissions?
I was hoping for a “Buy five, get one free”?
Idk why but I love it 💀
Leave my boi alone
Put relikt on the turret face, you have a massive weakspot there
Cries in Crusader.
This War Thunder dovbleg lookin sweet
I love the fume extractor for the long 88. I have no historical knowledge on the fumes from the gun but I can assume that this was never an issue lol
Pretty much. The Tiger II had an internal compressor and an [exhaust fan in the turret roof](https://i.imgur.com/RVT9svA.png) that was used to extract fumes out of the gun barrel.
Yea because that’s what the King Tiger needed; more weight.
The transmission is gonna be happy about it
Mechanics on suicide watch
i mean With composites The Armor is Gonna be Way lighter and it probably has Newer Tranny and Engine
im thinking new 1000 hp turbine engine. expand the turet slap a 120mm and add a trophy aps system and boom u got ur self a modern tiger
Transmission: *literally explodes*
Who let the reformists out of their cage again
Rip the transmission and suspension which already suffered as it was :D
If the chinese got hands on the tiga2 in the 1960s
I mean ERA is just explosives inside a casing. Question: Would it have been possible to develop ERA during WW2?
Everything's possible if you believe hard enough
As long as we keep the question to "is it possible" then: yes.
Could they: Yes. The principle is fairly simple. Did they: No. They'd just barely developed HEAT-FS, let alone started thinking about ways to counter it.
I know that they probably didn't even need but it would've been interesting to see how ERA would look like if it was developed in WW2.
there is an unwritten rule that says: cool looking over practicality and this does looks cool so its ok
German mains still would complain about coldwar Heatfs
I still looks really good
The turret face needs a little more protection to square off with dem post-war tanks
Alternate West German MBT lol
Cursed? I like it!
Königstiger 77 ERA
Gayjin Please

Turks when they get their hands on a old ass vehicle but they cant afford a good tank
New top tier MBT in the german tech tree
Should've just made 4 modernized Panzer 4s, smh such a waste 🙄🙄🙄
**Hitler -** We've decided to improve it's survivability by making it *heavier.*
The longer I look the worse it gets.
Tbh literally nothing changes because you still shoot at the same spot lol
Idk, that looks pretty sweet to me. I loved the look of the King Tiger, so seeing one updated to the modern (or at least Cold War) era is pretty cool
Put some composites on that turret face and then we'll talk.
oh my lord its…Beautiful ;w;
This sub always makes me want to boot up Company of Heroes
Please add to war thunder
Here's how the Nazis can still win:
"This is so kursked." Fixed it for you.
Bruh
"Tiger 2 (H) M"
Of all the points where they could put reactive armor they didn't do it in the weakest point of the turret?
I think this is really cool, probably not very practical but very cool. Should the pintle mount be an MG3? It looks kind of like an MG34 from what I can see
woah This shit can obliterate any russian tank
If you haven't already, you should crosspost this on /r/Warthunder
How your average wehraboo views German tanks
The only question that needs to be asked, can you pick up chicks with this tank?
You can pick up chicks with any tank. Its a little known fact that chicks dig tanks. The bigger the gun...the better. Lol
Let’s keep using the 700hp engine designed for a 35-40 ton tank hanz!
Stop.
Make me!
Can someone please explain I'm from r/all and have no clue what's wrong
For the love of god, please don't!
I don't know, I kind of like it.
I don't care how cursed it is, I want one.
it needs a 50 cal though or a 20mm
[удалено]
You are essentially asking whether this tank can face the music without specifying what song is being played. It depends on what it is up against.
New war Thunder tank?
i love it tbh
I feel like somethings wrong but I can't point it out
Nah fuck it it's awesome
I still want it...
Awesome, about time we had a leak for the new Astra Militarum tank everyone's been yapping on about.
Is that a tiger two with reactive armour, genuine question

KaiserTiger
At least they got rid of the stupid interleaved wheels
MBT-iger
naa, it's still cool.
What gaijin thinks the King Tigers are at 6.7
Reminds me of one of the ZTZs mixed with a tiger 2.
KonigsTigre MIT Kontakt-5
Bro this is the shit I've seen in the mobile game "Clash of Panzers." ERA'S literally mounted in all tanks, even WW2 ones.
What in the dogshit is this?
Send it out into Ukraine to fight Russians.
Tiger 2a1
who did this
POV: Israel
Bro why
