The simulation uses 14-inch guns even though the historical Tiger carried 13.5-inch weapons. Heavy shells would bring the model closer to the historical shell weight, but they would make its performance less accurate for the intended comparison. The chosen setup accepts a mismatch in calibre terminology to keep the operating characteristics closer to Tiger's guns. It is a useful example of the compromises involved when a game's available components do not match the historical equipment.

Modelling 13.5-inch guns in a 14-inch game system
The game uses a 14-inch battery to approximate Tiger's historical 13.5-inch guns, accepting a mismatch in calibre because heavy shells would distort the operating characteristics.
