Hello.

Could you please explain as I am not sure what exactly you mean. The models weren't changed only interiors were added in the DLC.

@Wulf

Hi.

Yeah sure, the problem is that the turret race ring is too narrow, it's not realistic as race rings in general must be very wide (over the width of the hull itself) so crew and the main gun (in max elevation) will fit inside.

@Damian1990 Keep in mind the the Kuma is basically a Leopard 2 with additional armor on top, known as MBT Revolution.
So it uses the same base hull, turret and turret ring as the Leopard 2. The turret ring for the Leo 2 is 1980mm or roughly 2 meters.

If you go into the editor and use 1x1 meter blocks to measure the turret ring, you will see that it is slightly smaller than the 2x1 meter blocks (I would guess 1850mm or so), and thus more or less within the specifications for that tank.

I would agree that the ring does appear to be quite small, but its a 1970s tank design after all....

Thank you for the clarification. However, I doubt that the models will be changed.

@Wulf

Sure thing. However I am more than certain, than in one of patches prior to Tanks DLC release, turret rings were changed, at least in Scorcher and Sochor. It seems that Sochor kept it's enlarged turret ring, while Scorcher was returned to the model prior this turret ring modification. I am not 100% certain about the Kuma, but it was also said to be affected by this change in one of the prior patch notes, that turret ring was enlarged.
