    That squire, is the Schwere Minenraumer version built I believe by alkett. look it up for a view of it's crazy rear end. It was believed by westerners not to have been built untill it turned up a decade or so ago at...you guessed it! Kubinka!.
    See that Turret on top? look familiar? Gives you some idea of the scale,

    Krupp did a variant that you'll find under 'Minenraumfahrzeug.'
    Makes the mad-looking Crabs, Lobsters and aunt-jemima's look sensible doesn't it.

    that thing still looks like it should be something out of a crazy neo-nazi scientist mind i mean seariously. I can see that thing (if it were like several stories high) being a wierd large assualt transport tank thing

    And illustrates beautifully my belief that German Armour design plunged down so many evolutionary dead ends, wonderful concepts but the practical solutions for the future lay with the allied designs. "There's a minefield sarge!"..."which shall we use? the standard tank with a flail mechanism or THE BEHEMOTH!"..."don't be so stupid son!...and why have my interleaved wheels frozen together????"

    one of the tanks near the top has the alternate tiger chasie on it, thier were two designs originaly planned, i think one by Krupp and the ohter by Henchel
    (i probably spelled one of the two wrong)

    your right on that one but i swear to god that my borther was watching some justice league movie or somehting where some guy from the future comes back and helps germany win (by freezing hitler) and one of the tanks they use is like a giant version of the Schwere Minenraumer wihtout the back, not kidding!

    Yes it is. Fox can you please reduce the size of signature pic (shouldn't really be much more than mine).

    Intriguing thought though. Anyone know any really really really really really really really really rich people who could help us do some tests of Modern MBT's on original battlefields against squadrons of ww2 kit?
    no?:mellow:
    oh well.
    I can dream.

    Well VP, when we find them, they are first supposed to get me a Jug, Spit, Mustang, ME-262, FW-190, and someone to check me out in each one of these. So you will have to wait your turn in line.
