Maus
Fig 1 |
Fig 1 shows the front of the German Maus, a tank that never actually saw combat. Only 2 were ever built. The main gun is the massive 128mm anti-tank gun, and instead of the normal co-axial machinegun, it has a 75mm anti-tank gun. This tank was HUGE. Nothing would have been able to stop this in a face to face fight. |
Fig 2 shows the intricate suspension that was needed to support this behemoth. The Germans has a similar tank called the E-100 that was basically designed to use the same chassis, but with a different turret. No E-100s were ever actually built. | Fig 2 |
