The germans were shit faced when designing their armoured vehicles. +1
Would rather see the historical turret design used on it (even if it wasnt built) but yes
Faster than a Tiger II, so its something. And the armor may not be fantastic, but its nothing to sneeze at. Lower profile may help as well. For sure better than bringing a panther up to 6.7/7.0. Thats the lineup I would have it in anyways, i would imagine this would be good at 6.3.

Not nececarily, seeing this vehicle has less than 10 hp/t and lower top speed 35 compared to 42 of the King tiger P. But I am curious though, does it have the Porsche electric reverse speed?
Many specifics are unclear about the Tiger P2. But from what I can gather, the rear mounted version was simply a conceptual design. If any hulls were produced, they almost certainly were of the classical layout.

Can you help me create the VK3601 H suggestion?
I have gathered all the information possible in this link

Ah, i allready made one for that.
(Armed with 105mm gun and wanted to suggest then the Waffe 0725 when and if it would be accepted as a suggestion.)
So i suppose you want to suggest the 0725 one?

In fact, I only see two plausible weapon possibilities.
Or 0725 as you mentioned.
Or a version armed with the KwK 40

Tbh, i dont even think the KwK 40 version is real.

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.
wouldnt be litte bit over powered like thinking of it yeah it has p turret but still think would be op
That one looks so good, the KwK 40 fits it perfectly.

Looks beautiful
Really does, even if that configuration wasn’t real it definitely looks the best.
