The smoothbore 120mm canon is capable of firing any 120mm Nato shells and marked improvements have been made to the anti-tank measurements that opposing forces might employ. This new Type 10 would be a computer aided, technological marvel that would pack as much punch as any other heavy artillery mechanism on tracks. Starting development in 1990, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries set out to design an entirely new machine to replace the aging Type 74 and Type 90 tanks. The Japanese Type 10 Nato variant is a modern day design that was years in the making. Affectionately referred to as the Königstiger (directly translated as Royal Tiger), the allied forces incorrectly dubbed it the King Tiger. This new machine also saw a revision in motor placement, moving it from the rear to mid-ship, effectively protecting it from enemy fire and giving the Tiger II a better CG. The Porsche turret offered better visibility with improved armor and a slope design that was intended to deflect enemy shells. While the earlier Type 1 and Henschel variants of the Tiger were built largely off of the Panther platform, the Tiger II saw vast improvements.

The Tiger II was a beast in its day, striking fear into the hearts of those within striking distance of its infamous 88mm gun.Īny Tiger equipped with this weapon could easily smoke allied tanks before the American troops were even close enough to fire. Get hit that sixth time your tank shuts down and you’ve now become the spoils of war for your enemy … until you power it back up for another battle! Get hit up to five times the tank makes exploding sounds and turret lights flash for a second or two. The best part is that they each also feature infrared canons and receivers, so up to sixteen tanks can battle at the same time.

They all offer full control of the tank itself as well as the turret. These 1/24-scale machines are accurately modeled after real-life heavy armor from both the modern day and WWII. If you’re looking for a change of pace from the fast-paced, frenetic world of RC cars and trucks, look no further than the VS Battle Tanks.
