 | 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.

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.

| Anyone got anything more? Don't care whether it relates just to tanks. If someone wants to bring in a rare and crazy aircraft that is fine by me. |

| You British guys seems to have some kind of adoration for the 5,45ton Tallboy  One well aimed ( by divebombing I guess) armor piercing 1000 kg (2250 pounds) bomb and is it, no more Ratte. |

| I was wondering about the fuel for something like that, too. Bet it would be kind of hard to get across a river, too.

| Considering the Germans had fuel problems for there Tigers and Panthers, it would have been even more of a nightmare.
