In fact, no weapons were actually mounted on this turret.
The turret was produced, the chassis was produced, but it never received the armament.
The plan was with the 0725, but just as the PAK 41 (0725 anti-tank) was never produced on a large scale due to the difficulty of obtaining tungsen and ended up being replaced by the PAK 40 (which is basically a KwK 40 anti-tank) I think that the same thing would happen to Tigre’s father (VK3601)
I know that, but i think there were never even intended plans to mount the KwK 40 in it. As they moved on.

Huge difference between a tank and a plane. Flight is far more complex to model than moving on the ground and thus needs a lot more data to be remotely accurate.
