you wouldn't be referring to 'floating Tiger tanks' now would you? that line still kills me :rotfl:

you know, back in WWII the germans came up with a "great" idea of how to get tanks across rivers without the use of bridges. The put a floating bouy on top of the tank, and fitted to this was a long airhose which would float above the water

the idea was, that the tank would be made 100% water proof, and it would drive underwater and across the river.

However, as amazing as it may sound, a 40 tons tank underwater still floats somewhat, so it was discovered that the tracks would not dig into the ground enough, and the tank would stall

I bet that must have been a fun outfit to drive for. Stuck in a tank in a river
