Re: Largest US Tank of Ww2, Too Big for Combat
This tank would not have done well on the battlefield. They state it was not designed for tank Vs tank combat - good thing too as this would be a sitting duck for a Panther. They state they tank was designed to assault fortifications - artillery cannons are much more economical for this. Don't get me wrong, i'd have liked to see this thing in action but i fear it would not be a winning vehicle. |

Re: Largest US Tank of Ww2, Too Big for Combat
the nazi's came up with a MEGA tank with a similar concept of close up bombardment, here is a link to a post i did on, there is only one video of it in action, but man what a monster http://www.documentingreality.com/fo...-cassis-74728/ |

Re: Largest US Tank of Ww2, Too Big for Combat
There isn't really anything to give it a size comparison to, but a huge tank like that would be great for troop deployment.
