Pete, you mentioned the little tiny Mouse (Maus)

so we should not forget the giant Goliath :yeah:

Just found this after looking at the Maus:

Not a tank. A self-propelled 600mm mortar. Sends a chill down my spine. :yep:


And every time I see the word Gerat I immediately think Balkan-Gerat. :haha:


@danasan - Thank you for sharing pics from your tanker days. :salute:



EDIT:

Eye candy. Building in Warsaw after hit from the Karl Device.

:haha:

here is a 80 cm shell from the Gustav. The Gustav was used in Sevastopol.

And a T 34 to show the relations:

Edit: These 80 cm shells should have been the Primary armament of the Landkreuzer P.1500

That reminds me...got to pop back there next time I'm down there to see the Matilda. :yep:

Why not the tank forum, Feuer? ;)


Anyhow, I take the freedom to link this thread to the eSim forum as well. Maybe some of the guys there feel tempted to contribute something.

I thought it may get more 'hits' in the GT section. The tank forum seems a little too tucked away.
I guess it's not a gaming thread this one.

I'm glad you posted here, I would not have seen the thread otherwise.

Awesome pictures and info, THANK YOU.

I'm going to assume that its purpose was to engage targets in Low Earth Orbit...

EDIT: I will try and scan some of my tank schematics before bed tonight...

Little something I scanned for our British friends:

I am just now watching a documentation about that guy (MARK IV) above. With the APAM rounds it is a real thing... And what a lot of room inside, wow :o

Here's some videos of Tanks, with music. Enjoy!
