The Tiger I with the side-mounted storage bins is a first for me.
I recently finished a book, The Tiger Tanks by Peter Gudgin which included a large number of pre-production and production Tiger I photos and as stated in my original postings, they show "clean" turrets and rear-mounted storage bin Tiger I turrets respectively. It's true that it's only cosmetic and serves no practical function in the game but the dedication of the game creators to historical accuracy prompted me to write.
Never have seen the storage bin attached that way on a tiger,until rosilla provided that image.
I suspect it was rare and was done away with after it got blown off most times in combat as Tigers tended to attract alot of fire.
I prefer the way it is now,no bulkly looking protusions.
It looks like a Wehrmacht Centurion with the side storage bins. I think the Tiger photos in the game do show the rear storage bin in place though I'm not certain and will check. It's not a big deal, though.
