So i want to point this out and hopefully gaijin fixes it or does something about it.
The new model of the king tiger (tiger 2 h) is historically inaccurate. i personally like the rework of the model but the zimmerit is the waffle pattern which never seen the king tigers (P & H). it was only applied on some panthers stugs and jagdpanzer 4s. it should be the same as the tiger 2 p.
also the tracks are upside down or reversed, but the teeth of the tracks are supposed to face the ground.
thats how the tracks are supposed to be.
EDIT: i dont know if gaijin is going for mid war design or a late war design model of the king tiger. but if it is a late war ( going off of the 9 tooth drive sprocket its a late war) it wouldnt have any zimmerit at all due to the lack of resources.

Pattern is purely visual so that’s irrelevant.
Also it took less than a minute to find it applied to a Tiger 2.
Another photo from the German archives:
The pattern itself is purely aesthetic, and currently doesn’t serve a function in War Thunder.
The teeth of the tracks are supposed to alternate, which they do:
And in-game:
i know the zimmerit does do anything but look pretty but im just saying the king tigers never had the waffle pattern zimmerit. and plus anything after late 1944 zimmerit was never applied to king tigers due to the lack of resources. and i made this post before it got updated. i just want the tiger 2 to have more historical accuracy.
…people fr js be complaining about anything these days, huh?

Not complaining, juat pointing it out to gaijin so they can fix it. Gaijin said that they are going for accurate vehicles and i was just pointing out that the zimmerit isnt accurate. And with the tracks i was just pointing out that they were upside down.
