AK47, you might be the first person who can answer a question I have had since first watching Kelly's Heroes and then again, later, watching Saving Private Ryan. The Tiger-I tanks in those two movies appear just like yours. They appear exactly as the originals did back in '44-'45 above the tracks. BUT, the original Tigers the Krauts used in WWII had those interlocking wheels within the tracks (see photo below and/or watch any old film footage of those beasts rolling through Russia or France). Yet, all versions I've seen in movies (and yours) have a different wheel system. Why? Did they drop a Tiger-I chasis on another tank suspension or something?
