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. http://www.steelbeasts.com/sbforums/...191#post197191

I'm going to assume that its purpose was to engage targets in Low Earth Orbit... EDIT: I will try and scan some of my tank schematics before bed tonight... |
