the camera angle seems wrong. Like 5 to 10 degree off, thus making it not really fit well into the game.

the other new vehicles like M1 Abrams also have the wrong camera angle issue.

This has been mentioned a few times but I'll elaborate on why. LemonSky picked camera angles on a per unit basis so that they fit the original sprite exactly, and even when you compare the remastered sprites against each other you'll notice they are all off.

Since I'm rendering from a standardised oblique perspective they will all seem off when compared against the remastered units, but when compared against the other units I've created they will be correct. Once I get all of these finished and it will be a non issue.

The angle I use is 45 degrees with orthographic projection. This is due to the game having square tiles and to preserve diagonal lines. This also avoids the floatiness units show seemingly like they are being pushed from the side when they travel diagonally while also either digging into the ground or trying to drive in the air.

and that's wrong.
TD camera angle is 50°
in comparison, TS is 60°

All your models view angle is way too much from top.
