Tank you all for paying attention!

I forgot: As we had to record everything concerning these tanks: They tend to drink a bit: On the road 165 Liter per 100 km; in heavy duty up to 500 Liter per hour. But you could put almost any liquid into it... I am sure I have a picture where the Leopard stands on top of a little "hill" on the 4th pair of wheels only, but in balance...

...like the next step of this:

Just found this after looking at the Maus:


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl-Ger%C3%A4t

Not a tank. A self-propelled 600mm mortar. Sends a chill down my spine.


And every time I see the word Gerat I immediately think Balkan-Gerat.


@danasan - Thank you for sharing pics from your tanker days.



EDIT:

Eye candy. Building in Warsaw after hit from the Karl Device.

here is a 80 cm shell from the Gustav. The Gustav was used in Sevastopol.

And a T 34 to show the relations:



Edit: These 80 cm shells should have been the Primary armament of the Landkreuzer P.1500

Why not the tank forum, Feuer?


Anyhow, I take the freedom to link this thread to the eSim forum as well. Maybe some of the guys there feel tempted to contribute something.

I thought it may get more 'hits' in the GT section. The tank forum seems a little too tucked away.
I guess it's not a gaming thread this one.
