OK this tank never enter the war but if it did and the germans made, lets just say 10.000 of them no one be safe on the battlefield. See if someone can name the tank, i give you some hints.

1. It was over 200Tons [yes over 200 tons]
2. The shells where over 250lbs each [damn one of those suckers would of made someone's day bad]
3. Two prototypes of these tanks where made.
4. The turret alone weighed 50 tons.
5. The armour was as thick as 240mm.
6. The length of tank was 30 feet.
7. Its main armament was a 128mm gun and for secondary armament had a Panther's 75mm gun mounted co-axially.


Well too maney hints i think but what the hell. And im not BS you here about these tanks.

I just did this to see if anyone eles is into WW2 history like me...


P.S. This one is crazy

the strangest design was for a 1500 ton tank with three main guns, two facing rearward in their own turrets. This leviathan would have been powered by four diesel engines normally used in submarines.

damn 1500 ton tank lol....its not a tank its a Fort with wheels on it.....

Panzer VIII "Maus"

I think it's maus to. http://www.waffenhq.de/panzer/maus.html

Yup

Boy that tank would of made the other tanks look like toys lol...

Cool. But they didn't make it because...?

Well 200tons your not going fast it went only 12mph and not too maney bridges out there that can supporrt 200tons. Took too long to build. idk im just guessing here.

- To heavy to drive in the field
- Speed, 12 mph, the war was ended before the tank could reach the battlefield
- Finances
- Short of fuel, raw material
- Need a lot of people to operate it.

True on ALL points Rommel

OK heres one more.

1. About 70Tons
2. Had a 88 as a main weapon.
3. About 100 where ever builded.

Ferdinand- technically a Self-propelled gun- 90 built....
called also 'Elephant' but also nicknamed 'the Hamma' [err, to Mobsta server regulars I mean]

Heres a cookie...

OK next one,

1. This tank was base on the T-34 design.
2. Had a 75mm main gun.
3. 4814 where builded. [Some others say around 6000 where builded]
4. 43-Tons.
5. This tank is one of my fav WWII tanks.

ps- when you say builded- the correct word is 'built' -that's the past tense of 'build'. I know-another odd english word to remember

Panther-> Germans were saying 'holy moly-achtung!' when they first came up against the t-34. However the Panther's initial debut at Kursk was not so stellar - from what I recall off the top off my head.
But yes it did finally become a fearsome tank in its later designs.

OK Hell thanks for that little help.
Yeah its true when the panther and tiger first came onto the battlefield, they where not stellar but like you said afterwards they where fearsome tanks.

Anyways heres another cookie..

OK moving on, this one is not a tank but just as good.

produced, but frequently

This one? http://strangevehicles.greyfalcon.us/Alkett.htm

It's a Rolling Mine exploder NK-101.

Looks like something from the Star Wars 'Attack of the clonces' finale- then again the movie designers probably researched that photo you showed for bizarre space afvs.
