On the question of tanks, what is a tank?

On the contrary, the Rat tank was ridiculed by military experts as a 'clay-footed giant', and only two were built, which were attacked and captured by the Soviet army during the test, and never went to the battlefield. At that time, the rat tank could not even solve the problem of how to drive into the battlefield on its own, and it was useless to have powerful firepower and armor protection. Later, a larger E-100 giant rat tank was trial-built, which was also abandoned during the experimental phase.

Added: the weight of the rat tank was 150 tons, the caliber of the main gun was 150 mm, there was no secondary gun, there was a machine gun.

Never on the battlefield, there are only two in total, weighing 200 tons, one main gun caliber forgot, about 122 mm, secondary gun 75 mm. 20km h on the road, only 13 off-road, the armor forgot, anyway, the Allies can't break through, but the engine is always in trouble, and you have to change parts when you walk a little, and the fuel consumption is amazing. The Allies only learned about this thing after they stormed Berlin.

It was useless at all, but affected the production of other tanks, which Hitler ordered to develop with a hot brain.

The main gun of the rat is 128mm, and the maximum speed on the road is 18km h......The frontal armor was thick enough to ignore any ...... of anti-tank fire at the timeHowever, in the case that Germany had already lost air supremacy, the attack aircraft could easily tear through the top armor. In addition, due to its non-existent mobility, it can easily go around the flank of the rat and attack its side and back armor when besieged by multiple tanks.

Personally, I think that with the steel used to make rats, it is possible to make 2 Cheetahs that are also equipped with 128mm guns, or 3 Cheetahs equipped with 71 times the diameter of 88mm guns, the latter will play a greater role than rats when they basically have the anti-tank ability of rats, because of their better mobility and large numbers.

Personally, I think that the rat is a manifestation of Hitler's insanity in his later years, and the German 71 times the diameter 88mm gun has excellent accuracy and sufficient armor-piercing ability.

Rat tanks have been on the battlefield. Almost, but it was also destroyed by Allied bombers. One got stuck in an anti-tank trench, and another was blown up by the Germans themselves.

Three major indicators of tanks.

Firepower, Defense, Mobility.

There is a delicate balance to be struck between the three.

The Rat tank simply pursued firepower and defense and abandoned mobility.

It is an immature product that pursues a single performance index.

Formerly known as "Chariot". It is a type of firepower with strong direct firepower. A tracked armored combat vehicle with high cross-country maneuverability and strong armor protection.

Not only can it perform a variety of combat missions in complex terrain and harsh climatic conditions, but most of them can also operate in the use of nuclear, chemical, and biological. It is the main assault weapon of ground warfare, mainly used to strike at enemy tanks and other armored combat vehicles, destroy enemy anti-tank ** and field fortifications, and annihilate enemy living forces. The tank is mainly composed of ** system, propulsion system, protection system, communication equipment, electrical equipment and other special equipment and devices.

The crew consists of 3 or 4 people, who are responsible for command, shooting, driving, and communications.
