I used the other E-series tanks as an influence

Response to alright, but...
to recreate a believable vehicle. I also used many ideas seen on the Panther Smallturm turret design. But it doesn't change the fact that I just made it up, similarities or not. The goal was to make it as a what-if on my part, nothing more. Read my comments on the construction and you will see the thoughts I made at that time when I was chopping up the turret.

And to reiterate, there is no such thing as an E100 Ausf B (I came up with that name), or a Tiger III or IIC, these are simply post war names added to existing E-series paper panzers by guys on the internet or for the sake of making conversations easier. They never existed on paper before, during or after the war, so they do not even qualify as a true "Paper Panzer". They are no more realistic than a tank from movie Star Wars.

There was a proposal for a Tiger II mounting a 10.5cm gun, but that is about as close as they came to making a more powerful Tiger II. The rest should be correctly called E-50, E-75 and Panther II, which are the official designations for such vehicles. Hope this helps to clear the confusion.

Best,

Mike
