Prototype Tank for GünSchwarm


In the various armoured vehicles used by Conscript members for our FutureWars armies, the big guns and large sizes occasionally seem a bit outlandish. However, during WW2 Krupp worked on a prototype tank, the Ratte which was designated as a "Landkreuzer" or Land Cruiser. It was eventually scrapped by Albert Speer as too huge, but it would make an interesting addition to the GünSchwarm forces. Go for it, Greg.

That's a 1000-ton tank (!):

Well, it definitely meets the "minimum munition calibre" standards of GünSchwarm...
