@@Stryker_1 What are you talking about? What do you mean by ruins? Most old bunkers (if nazi or not) are state or private property so it'd be trespassing to look into them and other buildings from that era (if they survived) are still in use and were already used before the nazis. They are not some ancient civilisation that left real ruins.

The German Schwerer Gustav "Dora" was a 1500 ton 80cm (32") calibre railway gun, used briefly (and successfully) against Sevastopol in the Crimea. It needed a crew of c. 500 to assemble and operate it, and about 5000 to defend a perimeter around it. Krupp steel who built it, said it was a waste of time, effort, & resources.

it fired exactly twice, and then it was scuttled

[@largol33t12]

What is equally crazy: the US tried something slightly similar: they hooked up several motorized vehicles together and installed machine gun turrets all around. These were actually used in the Vietnam conflict. Some people called them land battleships. What I find strange is I cannot find any pictures of them. They must have been very rare.

Its kinda funny how the Lego axles can't hold the weight so he had to use steel. Sound familiar?

[@sinisterisrandom8537]

When it comes to the Ratte theres a lot of designs. The one here i like, but the one more common is the quad anti air guns being used on cylindrical open top turrets ment to help shoot in a lot of directions. The storage bay may have been a bit bigger than just 2 motorcycles. Give or take could carry 2 tanks, not tiger II's but give or take something a bit smaller like a panzer iv.

[@Shaun_Jones]

No one really knows exactly what this thing was supposed to look like since it never got further than a napkin sketch. As long as you have a hull with the battleship turret on top, you can do just about anything you want with the design.

[@tylergehring7879]

The turret was from a warship, and the turret would of weighed 600 tons on its own. Which means it would be way heavier

Tiz ze glorious P-1000 Ratte!!! Ze pride of ze land force.

[@normanguzman417]

The Landkreuzer probably didn't need bridges because rivers will be just little water puddles to it. Also taking is down would be as hard as sinking a battleship. With the so many AA gun turrets defense against attack by air would be complicated. Not to mention it would probably be escorted by other mobile AA Panzer divisions. In the event of a bomb landing, it's armor was supposed to be as thick as a concrete bunker. The thing was supposed to be so huge that the sections not affected by the bomb blast would still be able operate and defend. Allied would probably find the way of eventually destroy it but not in 3 minutes. What really gets me is, how would the Germans bring it to a battle fields away from motherland? It would only work as ultimate line of defense for Berlin, sort of like the last stage boss on a video game.

[@danielbalderrama4137]

Yeah, as effective as AA was for the germans. It would be effective against dive bombers. It wouldn't do much against high range bombers and due to its size, it would be harder to hit a bridge. It may survive a single bomber but a squadron would just completely take it out of commission as fast as they made their runs. The problem with warships is their hard to hit because of their speed. That was the main defense aside from fighter support. This thing would be remarkably slow. Wouldn't have mattered what the germans did unless they kept several squadrons of fighters continuously flying over it 24/7. The allies will find little difficulty destroying it by air.

[@normanguzman417]

Battleships are even bigger targets and are slow as well. Yet they where very to difficult to take out with bombers. sort of like a bunch of x wing fighters trying to take out the deathstar. Lol. Reason:too manny AA and aircraft support. Germans lost almost the entire Luftwaffe on D-day. Anything that is outnumbered can be destroyed. It all depends how much support it would had, or not had.

[@danielbalderrama4137]

@@normanguzman417 expect battleships were 50% faster and could perform evasive manuvers like we see the Japanese did for the first few torpedo and bomber attacks during the battle of midway without a scratch. The Ratte can go at best 40km/h and that's in straight unobstructed road. The Ratte was simply a sitting duck and would have been taken ou long before it had a chance to make an impact on any battle. Plus during the opening of the battle of kursk. We see the soviet airforce wipe out 200 grounded german aircraft despite heavy anti aircraft fire with minimal losses. The key behind aerial defense is quality and not quantity. Fighters were definitely the best air defense during those days. Dosen't mean a Squadron of enemy fighters and bombers can break through the cover screen to raid enemy positions. Not to mention the Germans would have had far less support vehicles and aircraft due to the amount of steel it would take to build the Ratte. History has shown that when the Germans created the Bismarck. The resources it cost them was the equivalent of 80 u boats which definitely would have made a difference in the Atlantic war.

The US airforce took out Japanese battleships. I don't know if this would be more expensive to produce than a battleship, so it is not crazy to think it could had been considerd to be produced. Two of this landbattleships could had change the outcome on the battle of Kursk, as long they would had enough air and ground antiaircraft support. However the whole war outcome would still be the same, as numeric superiority beats anything.

At about 60 ~ 70 tonnes, it _was_ too big. It had the same problem of bridges unable to bear its weight, forcing long slow detours using lots of fuel they didn't have. One Tiger 2 was taken out of the war by a French town house. The huge tank couldn't make it around a tight street, so the driver backed up for another try. He backed the tank into a house that then collapsed, forcing the tank to be abandoned under a pile of rubble.
