without prototypes smaller nations are pretty much empty
because they have a lot of bright or not so bright ideas but not the resources to make production models
you complain on aircraft protos but want tank protos,… that duality is shockingly advantageous for some and not others,…
it’s all or nothing.
has i said there is a very important reason
flight models are hard even with production vehicles see the f16 vs mig29/su27 issue
for ground vehicles all we really need is weight horsepower and transmission to get a good view of the performance even more so if the prototype in question is based on a production model or is similar to a production model
and gun performance is also calculated so we just need to know the shell and the muzzle velocity and we know the performance. made even easier because a lot of prototypes still use standard cannons like the 120mm l44 for the leopard 1
Or pretty much all cold war vehicles using L7 105mm based guns
today’s technology makes it able to have the similar raw view of a flight model, thanks to calculation models.
a flightmodel is therefore as good as would be an unfinished tank or Boat (as i spoke about those unfinished Russian ships already for exemple)
obliviously flight models are not easy
Also Gripen which also is constantly changing
Same with the Early Doritos
The first one can’t even do the cobra anymore despite being the first to be able too
obviously mordern stuff are modified on purpose
That isn’t stealth. Those air intakes, cockpit design and canards alone make it not stealthy at all
I think one of the best examples of a prototype jet being added is the Mirage 4000, it only has what it carried in demo’s even though it could’ve theoretically carried the MICA.

The Tiger 105 would have required major re-arrangement of the turret and firewall to accommodate the larger engine, so no, it is not a standard tiger II production turret.

Im not say it was ever built. I am using the same standards as the YAK and this monstrosity. To show the hypocrisy of this all. While the KT 10.5 was never built it could have the 2 pieces to the puzzle existed just never put together.
Lkke i said though it wouldn’t have been practical cause the engine power would have had more reliability issues and the turret would have been cramped.
Yet again, the breech would not have fit without major changes to the turret construction, and the same goes with the Panther II.
Tiger II mit 10.5cm ≠ exist
Panther II ≈ existed
MiG 1.44 = flew and existed
YaK-141 = flew and existed
actually the correct term is “Hyperrealsim”
and we have NOTHING about any KT 10,5cm - so no, you’re making double standard

The amount of double standard bias you are showing is crazy. With the removal of the turret ammo it very well could have it the gun. (As I states performance would be bad but that isn’t the point.) Therefore it does fall in the same category.
On another not let’s say we went with the requirements to make it viable. (Changing turret construction.) Then we are at the standard for your Mig 1.44 because the test flying aircraft had no internal stores which in order to be a stealth aircraft it would need.
Ohh pardon me a mock up. Let me just go grab some plywood from Home depot and I will make the same for the tiger II 10.5.
Yak-141 is no mock-up, only the missiles mounted were mock-ups of actual real ones.
Therefore, you’re missleading yourself and others…
YAK-141 exist. Missile it’s to us exist. Never married together.
Tiger II exist. 10.5 cm gun exist. Never married together.
At the end of the day I don’t care that the Tiger II 10.5 is gone. Good riddance.
What I am saying is I currently tolerate the Yak-141 in game (mostly cause it had multiple successful test flights.) I will not tolerate a Mig1.44.
There’s no double standard, the MIT 10.5cm breech wouldn’t fit in the production Tiger II turret with the added rangefinder, and even then, without the rangefinder, it’s travel distance would hurt the crew and have way less inclination and depression.
They could have mounted the desired weapons to hard points because of the way a hard point works…
If you find me a picture of the tiger II mit 10.5 cm and present it in a working manner, I will accept the fact it existed, but it didn’t, so…
Unlike how I can find the MiG-1.44 proj in flight over Russia:

WHAT IS THE PICTURE I GAVE YOU?! ARE YOU BLIND?
Putting fake missiles on is not the same as putting missiles on.
