Speed, endurance, armour, and the six-inch battery

The reconstruction cannot mount Tiger's six-inch weapons in their historical casemates, so it uses exposed mounts while explaining the mismatch. The armour discussion covers the nine-inch main belt, thinner end protection, deck armour, and heavily protected conning tower. Twelve single six-inch guns gave the real ship six guns on either broadside. The game fit exaggerates that broadside, making the reconstruction's limits easy to see. The real Tiger also carried two three-inch guns for anti-aircraft work, while the game build uses six to help correct its weight balance. Together, these details show how much weight and space Tiger devoted to several tactical problems.
