A WWII German "Ratte" Super-heavy tank. This is a design concept from 1942 of a 1000-tonne tank armed with two 280mm naval guns mounted on a single turret, two 128mm Maus turrets and various anti-air and infantry guns. The "Ratte" was never built.

    i doubt this could win any battle. its a GIANT target for any form of bomber or land mine.

    Lagnadium, you said they used the maus instead? well, the maus was also trashed, and never saw combat. There was a testing model without the turret, and a thing that simulates the weight of the turret. At the end of the war, there was one maus in testing, but the germans destroyed the body, but not the turret. Later in time, the turret was put on a replica body. my hands hurt already.

    Landkreuzer was scraped almost immediately after it was ordered for production because the wehrmacht saw no practical use for it (it being supposed to weigh 1000 tonnes). Der Fuehrer's Ratte never saw the light of day.

    Still nobody knows wether it was actually made or not. Common history sources state that the project was trashed for some reason and instead they made the Maus.
