Sad to say this awesome looking heavy tank contributed to germany's downfall.
A totally unnecessary delve into overengineering, waste of precious resources, manpower
and manufacturing capabilities, severely underpowered with the same engine as the Panther.
Was rushed into theater with many un worked out bugs and with a massive fuel consumption
many more were taken out of action by lack of fuel and mechanical breakdowns than by
enemy action.
Many more heavies and super heavies were on the drawing boards and some even went
on to the prototype stages. Hitler's maniacal obsession with size may have pointed to other issues
