Obviously it is not real! But where the hell did you find that thing.
You have to be shitting me! I know they came up with crazy designs but that is just obsurd.
2 MANN Diesels. Jesus Christ that is crazy!
There you go, my friend: http://pedg.org/panzer/public/website/p1000.htm#1000
It was two 280mm, my mistake.

That is just crazy. Way way overkill!
I think the 40 km/h is a little over-optimistic. I doubt it would be able to reach that speed if it even moved at all. If it was ever built it would be what the name suggests, a land cruisers but as the Cruisers in the sea found, they are vulnerable to air power. Bombs, bombs and more bombs would destroy it if it even managed to move. And what about repairing the thing?
I am surprised the thing could go 40kmh
Good point, I doubt it either.

'Faust 50k = 150mm
'Faust 100k = 210mm
'Shreck = 200mm
The 'Fausts were dangerous to the operator too and only single shot.
The Bazooka was aluminium, foldable and available, but offered only half the penetration.
Not with the T34/85's 'Mickey Maus' cupola hatches.
That piccy CharlesBronson posted is in a new book coming out which also has art of the JagerMaus.
I should be able to calculate the top speed, I'll do it in a week or so.
However to actually get it going in the 1st place...
Has anyone got the torque figures for those U-Boot engines, or at what rpm those power figures arrived at?
I think the top armour was a lot thicker than a battleships?
It was designed for this, as was the Maus to a lesser extent.
What if it was dropped from a great height?

The teorical use of Ratte and Maus were to fill the gaps in the Atlantic Wall, serving as a self propelled heavy coast defense guns.
They were still exposed to snipers, even in the T-34/85. Hand signals are slow and not always reliable due to the situation of the battle, battle mist could blind one tank from another. Hand signals are not enough.
I doubt the top armour was thicker than a battleship. The Maus was only 40mm on top.

Some variants of the tema,wonder where they want to use it.

I dont have torque or rpms for those but I can give you Horse Power.
To power something of that size it probably would need the engines of the Type VII U-Boot. The Type IX was probably too big for it. The engines of the Type VII were 2800 - 3200 HP Diesel Motors made my MANN.

Thats OK DerAdler, thanks, but I was after trque and/or rpm figures, cheers anyway.
BTW I put the weight and bhp of the Ratte in my 1/4 mile estimator and got 28 seconds!!
