Actually I think it’s just the drive sprocket being placed too low and possibly also slightly too far back – this produces the track angle mismatches and any number of other visual errors. May be slightly undersized too, hard to say for sure.
The clearance between the lowest corner of the hull and the ground, and the roadwheels and the side sponsons, OTOH seems to me to be essentially the same between the model and the photo though.

War thunder claims to be historically accurate Yeh so historically accurate that your going to have planes accounting for ridiculously amount of tanks destroyed per battle…….

I could go on about how WT is a) not historically accurate and b) not a simulation game, but I really can’t be bothered.

Yep you can see it there the lower glacial plate is way to tall, the whole thing needs shorting which in turn will lower the whole front of the tank reducing the large gap between the top of the tracks and the underneath of the side armour,
Look at how steep the angle is from the rear to the front compared to the real tank its way to much.

Yeah, I am not sure exactly what is wrong, but something is clearly incorrect.

Made this comparison to better show the problem: http://i.imgur.com/9IGcAob.jpg

Your :contribution: has been noted and duly ignored as wholly fallacious. Go back under your bridge plox.

The screenie has a fucked-up aspect ratio and hence looks hilariously stretched and flattened, which doesn’t exactly help. Neither does the fact the photos are of the earlier interleaved roadwheel system while the model in-game uses the later overlapping one, though the wheel diameters look similar enough. But seems to me like there’s no meaningful difference where it actually counts, ie. between the wheel axles and the side fenders – minor differences in track slackness being of no practical consequence whatsoever (no idea if and how much that varied IRL aside from when a track had to be shortened due to damaged links).

Got another couple of higher quality side picture of the Bovington Tiger for you :)

Why do you even bother replying to this commie. If the Tiger is 5m tall he would say it’s fine because it’s nazi steel box and it’s not big of a surprise that commies hates nazi stuff because it used to kill their comrades.

I think it looks like the tracks are to small rather.. And also that the tracks are going down at a to steep angle (from the upper side on the front)
