  1. TIK command tanks had no main gun -- just a dummy. That's why they are detailed out. The extra space was used as a 'map room' -- I'm not kidding. They would also usually have an extra radio operator who could work extra frequencies tying the panzers up into the artillery net// the Luftwaffe net. Such command tanks were pulled from the front to be replaced by regular tanks with just extra radios. Guderian was an ELECTRONICS expert -- not a panzer genius. Read his own pride in Panzer Leader -- it is focused upon his radio tricks. Command tanks of this period would always be Mark IIIs.
