Reminds me of a joke by Robin Williams

"Here's this designer cruise missile fire this and you'll blow the tits off the world! Ooo! Lala! BABOOM!"

Yep-it's a big one. Not sure how practicle it'd be, but designing giant tanks is too much fun to be held back by logic

This is really a "land battleship" by the size, but even then, a 10m caliber mortar seemed to me excessive. Can you imagine the ammunitions magazine plenty of powder charges and projectiles?

~spacegoblin Jan 26, 2012

Although the vehicle can carry stores for up to 30 shots (firing continually for 90 hours) it has been designed with clearance enough to allow the standard military supply trains to dock underneath the hull-where loading machinery can easily re-supply the magazine (protected at the heart of the machine).
Although envisioned to be an indipendant mobile fortress the Blutzen has proven itself more akin to a difficult child in practice, eating up supplies, fuel and requiring the constant protection of army and air force units. On the other hand it can fire a 400 ton shell(with a warhead of thermobaric explosive) up to 65 miles.

looks like my surprise at the megatank was premature. Oh. My. God.

I love the early tank designs, and this thing is fantastic! Well done!
