 Subject:  Differences between WWII and modern German tanksList thread.  
  
 Date:  Apr 19, 2008 
 From:  Robert Lu 
While I was working on Trumpeter E-100, I found out that there were some very obvious differences,see below, between WWII and modern German tanks.

1. Driver's location has been moved from the left hand side to the right hand side. The other way around to the commander's location. For example, Tiger II vs. Leopard.
2. Change of front drive to rear drive. Drive sprocket wheels are moved from the front to rear.

Anyone has similar founds and knows the reasons for the changes?
