Yes, Maus II was ment to built. It was actually in building process when Soviet unit attaked to the area where it was built. Germans blowd it away right away and burned all desings, so we will never know what it was meant to look like. It has been said that it was meant to have two guns; one 88 mm and one 122 mm. And 2 MG's.

Also, Maus did take on in a battle: there were two Mauses built and second one was still in building process, but the another destroyed 4 ISU-152 and one IS-2 when soviets attaced it. This battle took place in southern area of Berlin. The crew abandoned it when it got hit to track(s) and couldn't move any more.

Ratte was also called P1000 (P for Project), it's weight was about 1000 tons... with 2 300mm seabattery cannons, like used on the Bismarck

there was also another project, called P1500, weight 1500 tons, armament 800mm cannon "Dora"

just to crazy

I thought that was a myth....

Anyway, the Maus would had been a slow moving pos pill-box. But, the fear factor of that thing...

I like the WIP screens!!!

possible evidence that the maus was used? (note civilian car and what looks like to be a sort of town stone wall in the background)

if anyone gets the spec and blueprints of the ratte then consider it made ;)

i remember hearing stories about kursk where t-34 basically had to get to with in point blank range of the a tiger to kill it but that to something like that thing it wouldnt be much more effective than feather duster you would need something like joe stalin to even stand a chance

Weren't there plans for an even BIGGER tank? The "Ratte" IIRC.

that doesnt really look like the P1000

the 280mm guns are a way to short

and its missing the 8 20mm flak and the 4 15mm machine cannons

The P-series of tanks is, I think, almost identical to the E-series. There were supposed to be E-10s (to replace the PzIIL Lynx), through E-50 (to replace the Panther), through E-100 (to replace the Maus) and the E-1000 which was a land battleship (literally). Would have been interesting to see them in action...

all heavy german tanks were underpowered (starting with Pzkpfw VI), so was the E-series (starting with E-50)

the E-1000 series would have burned tons of fuels on a few miles, it has to be refueled every 20 miles

and they were slow around 8 mph or less

the only thing, they could be used for, is as a rolling bunker with battleship fire capability

[hellfish6 7]

Very true, but that could have been useful in some places on the Eastern Front - Sevastopol, Stalingrad or Leningrad. Of course, I'd rather have had 100 Panthers or MkIVs than a single E-1000, but still... it could have been cool to see.

They had lost air supperiority and those big tanks were pretty easy to spot from the air .

But what about this beauty ? Dun dun duuuuh !!
