A super-heavy tank . It has thick armour to the front and sides . The large number of heavy turrets protect it from arial attack. The tank is fully amphibious with a float attached to the exhaust, allowing it to float above the water during river crossings. This was a vital feature as few bridges can support a 1000 ton tank.
The vehicle can also take refuge below water , relying on air tanks or drawing oxygen through the emergency tubing housed along the floated exhaust (which is dissengaged during such an opperation).
Multiple weapons include dozens of machine guns and numerouse multi purpose cannons able to fire AP or high explosive rounds.
A light tank and crewman have been included for scale.

Yeah-thoes super tanks would have been a sight. Not sure how effective they would have been though. They have something along those lines in the new(ish) Captain America film. Giant tanks are always good ;)

Ooh, looks like a cross of the P1000 Ratte, Char B1 Bis and the 2C Super-heavy tank.

Dinosaurs + Godzillas, Drakula, Blackula and Son of Kong (the only three real monsters).The origional super tanks were designed as either land battleships or mobile fortresses. They were designed as super breakthrough units, able to smash through defences and sweep aside all conventional opposition. Perhaps the tonic to the Soviet 'defence in depth'-thier answer to the Blizkrieg tactics of the German army.
Several multi turret vehicles were completed in the 30s but proved to be inneffective (hard to control and thinly armoured). Several giant tanks were designed by the Zazis but never finished.
