why don't use the tamiya recoil, its up for his task, building in another recoil into a tamiya is asking for throuble ... this pershing is one of the best runners of the tamiya pack, don't even need metal tracks , the original ones are very good to run everywere

The Pershing recoil does elevate below the turret opening but not quite past the ring gear.
There is little opportunity to mount the slip ring in the turret or from the upper hull as the profile would not suite proper wire rotation IMO.
The hull seemd the best mounting for the slip ring in the Tamiya Pershing.
Shown in the pic is the maximum elevation of the recoil unit:
