In action, would it be incorrect to position the barrel holder down on the Ferdinand? posted the question in the group build, figured I’d post it here too…
Yes, it is called a “travel lock” and reduces stress on the gun trunions while the vehicle is in motion. It would be unlocked and down when firing to allow for movement of the main gun. The Elefant/Ferdinand had a limited traverse left and right.
Edit: By answering Yes, I mean yes you can lay it down.
thanks rob… appreciate the info
