#mammoth tank

[epictones]

A Soviet Mammoth tank, trudging inexorably through endless Allied ambushes & chronoshifted strikes back to the Service Depot at a base somewhere outside Moscow. The crew man the sole survivor of a retreat escort, the diesel-Tesla powerplant kept running though numerous breakdowns by the onboard technicians. Once rearmed and refueled they will be sent back to the front, the base's Iron Curtain in their prayers.

First of five superheavy projects for the collection.

Mini-Project

I’ve acquired a resin printer, and it’s been an absolute dream.

I’ve started a mini-project in 15mm Pics below.

Crazy Comparison - Real German Tanks vs Fictional Tanks

Edelweiss mention. But, my main takeaway is that the Mammoth Tank is a lot more feasible than the Maus, and they literally built a Maus.

Also, the Metal Slug is surprisingly viable.

The Mammoth Tank

The Mammoth Tank was the iconic weapon of the Command & Conquer series. Now, in game it was just a stupid-big tank.

It has two 120mm cannons. Why would a tank need two? Either targeting two enemies for the opening barrage, or have it work like it's own artillery battery.

The Mammoth Tank also uses a nuclear power plant. I did the math, and a typical naval reactor would take up 1/3 of the internal space, but LFTR reactors could be MUCH smaller.

Now, when thinking about the Mammoth Tank, the first thought among many is the simple impracticality of the Ratte. Well, the Ratte has battleship cannons, which were legitimately overkill for battleships, nevermind tanks. The Mammoth Tank instead has two 120mm cannons.

The Ratte also could not ford rivers, nevermind bridge, had ridiculous fuel requirements, and was so big that even with dozens of AA guns, it was still vulnerable to air power.

But, the Mammoth Tank is nuclear, meaning it's range is unlimited. It could also carry enough personnel and supplies to make it completely self-sustaining for the long term. It could even act as a mobile base. It would probably be closer to the Maus in terms of weight.

See, while the Ratte was going to be used in Europe, we are Canada. We have vast tracts of open land that right now are being patrolled by natives in orange jumpsuits, because without the Arrow, we don't even have air power suitable to the job.

Now, I', not going to in any way insult the Canadian Rangers, as they are insanely capable. What I am saying is create a regular unit of them and give the Mammoth Tanks.
