The first time I heard about this thing was when one of the SomethingAwful crew obsessed over it. And I genuinely couldn't tell at the time if it was actual history or if he was just making shit up. Because I didn't hear anything about it for another 20 years. Until this moment.
I've heardthe rule about people just learning about things others consider everyday so it's not shocking to see it here jusat...idk odd that people who see it don't also see the mountain of "yeah but it's a design with zero practicality"
Such a creation is a fun thought experiment for how nightmarish logistics would be for it. From repairs and ammunition to protection and what its use-case would even be to justify the expense. Probably some Death Star level uselessness whose sole purpose isto exist and MAY threaten to cities. Makes me wonder why it has never appeared in a Wolfenstein game, as steeped in myth as the thing is.
Oh boy, I read that in the "My Tank is Fight" series. That really was 20 years ago :0
Man, old neurons firing.
