I see no problem with the new Tiger for me atleast. when I am in a tank i allmost allways turn the hole tank a round. it's faster and you will also have the front amor were your enemy is.
Only problem with it, is you cant drive in one direction and shoot in another. Youd be surprised how much this hinders your tanking abilities. You have to stop and face your target, and cant really run and gun.

Sherman 76mm M1A1 an penetrate Tiger I's front armor at close range using the APDS round and 90MM M3 can penetrate the Tiger I's front armor at medium range.
King Tiger will be the Lord of Battle over all that it sees. Its the buttraping Sherman Firefly, M26, M36, or IS-II that will prove its downfall.
Well, that okays I guess. The handling on terrain was excellent as well as maneuverability. The turrent traverse was hydraulic and could traverse at a rate of 6 degrees per second..... not real fast.
It did however carry both HE and AP rounds!!! So THAT is a BUMMER!
King Tigers turret rotation speed was related to engine speed. At 2000rpm the King Tiger could rotate the turret 360deg in 19 seconds. Slowest speed on motor was 360 deg in 77seconds. If you had to manually crank the turret, bring lunch.

Didn't know about the King Tiger... interesting. I wonder if it is the same mechanism as the Tiger I? Doesn't seem like it. Seems better actually. 360 degrees in 19 secs is fast! The Tiger I was 360 in 60 secs but I'm not sure if that was just nominal or the fastest it could rotate. It did have a seperate drive mechanism however.

Nope. Tiger I was old dog slow. Thats why the tactic of turning the whole vehicle. Tiger I was very manuverable and the crew could easily turn the vehicle much faster than turning the turret only.
I dont currently have data on Panther turret rotation speed.

The rotation of 60sec is the fastest it can manage, the slowest it would rotate was 360deg in 1 HOUR
Light a match, for I deserve to burn.
