Wow I've never heard about this design.

But I have found some pictures that will help us imagine how big this tank would have been comparing to other WWII tanks






Panzer V and "Ratte"

The problem is just where could they use it and how would they get it to any battlefield. It would be to big for the railways, there would not be a bridge strong enough for it to cross and even though that it has a load of AAA guns on it it would still be vulnerable to air attack

A Chinese APC going through it's paces, this thing can cross rivers if they are not flowing to fast. The whole thing was crude and simple but did most of what was asked of it

It was quite nippy across country but suspension was crap. Also when it was in the water it is driven by the tracks at about 4 mph, so if the tide or river flow is more than that you got with the flow

Ahh the Matilda tank. A beauty of a thing, and the back bone of the australian armoured corp in WWII.
