The TOG II was basically built like that because the designers thought there would be trench warfare like in the first world war which the original tanks were constructed for. Next thing you know, Germany introduced the world to faster paced conflict where there would be advances of several hundred kilometers in a few days where you'd be lucky in WWI to advance at least five or ten within that same timeframe!

[@kalieffoster4607]

[@undertow619]

80 long tons (81.3 metric tonnes) make the TOG II heaver than a fully loaded Challenger 2 MBT which is one of the heaviest operational tanks in service today at 73.8 long tons (75 metric tonnes) fully loaded with it's combat armour modules.

[@ThatGuyOrby]

The Ratte was basically just a design study, they didn't actually plan on making it. Just like the later H-Class battleship designs (H-42 onward). They wanted to see exactly how big they could make something until it became completely impractical. Which is funny because they already had and produced a tank that was impractically large and suffered for it...it was called Tiger 2. Yes I am an absolute tank history nerd, what about it XD

[@churchA.I]

Tiger 2 was a good fucking tank, fight me, yeah it had issues with engine and size, but dear god was it a terrifying menace on the battlefield

[@ThatGuyOrby]

@@churchA.I It was only a good tank based on armor and firepower. In all other categories it failed as not only as a vehicle but a tank as well. It was essentially a mobile bunker that broke down exceedingly often and couldn't cross any bridges. The thing was an immensely stupid 75.5 short tons during a time when even the US Army's M26's couldn't cross most bridges in Europe when it was only 46.2 short tons. If you placed the thing out in a field and forced enemy tanks to roll directly front onto it yeah of course it'll win but after that you'll have to abandon it where it is because it can't cross bridges, it's absurdly slow, it's a horrendous drain on the already failing German logistics, it's engine is both incredibly hungry and overstressed, and worst of all it suffers from what basically every German heavy or late war medium tank suffered from. It was practically impossible to perform maintenance or repairs in the field due to the inaccessibility of vital parts that required the tank be disassembled to reach them. It is only a good tank in a vacuum. It was not worth it's cost nor weight in steel and was routinely knocked out by tank less than half it's weight due to the fact they could grasp the concept of attacking it from the side or rear where it was impossible to armor the thing adequately. The only tank shells it was stopping from the side were early war anti-tank guns like Allied 57s, 2pdrs with the Little John adapter, and the American 75mm at most. Meanwhile the American 76mm, American 90mm, the British 17pdr, Soviet 85mm, Soviet 122mm, etc would blast straight through the side armor. It was not a hard tank to outmaneuver and most were encountered broken down or out of fuel in the first place because of the utter impracticality of the vehicle. The thing weighed more than an M1A2 SEPv3 Abrams during a time when the world's infrastructure (bridges, loading cranes, etc) was struggling with tanks half it's weight. R.P Hunnicutt rated the Tiger 2 as the best tank of WW2 in direct combat only. He also rated it the most impractical tank to actually see service during the war due to all the logistical headaches it caused and the fact that once a tank got at it's side it was helpless. And I do mean helpless, the rate at which the Tiger 2 could turn it's turret was pathetic. Without the automatic turret drive (which was prone to breaking down) it barely managed 6 degrees of traverse per second. With the turret drive it was capable of up to 18 degrees per second however it was prone to inaccuracy and was never used for actually gun laying due to the jerky nature of it's movement and it's unpredictability in stopping prone to under or over rotate to what the gunner actually wanted. This was quite honestly a joke considering the M4s of various types they were facing had a minimum turret traverse of 26 degrees per second with the drive which was accurate and reliable enough for gun laying such that it was doctrine to use it, unlike the Germans who would use their own to get roughly on target then fine aim with hand-cranking The Tiger 2 was not a good tank. It was a good mobile bunker. It could kill any tank it so much as looked at and most tanks would struggle to penetrate it from the front which caused an immense fear factor but the Tiger 1 and Panther for all their faults were much better vehicles the problems with which are commonly overstated. Germans struggled with the weight and reliability of their tanks but in cases excepting the Tiger 2 those complaints are often blown out of proportion. Take for example the rather common "engine fires" point made about German tanks. Some had this issue throughout the entire war, the Tiger 1 and Panther did not.

“The Angry Mustache Model” is the best name I’ve heard for that man.

[@WorldsTallestLeprechaun]

I thought you were going somewhere else with that German Engineers line, and I got worried, but I’m glad I was wrong. I’ve been watching/listening to a fair bit of Lazerpig (He’s a historian on KZbin, yes really) and he talked a fair bit about the myths about how the Nazi’s were coming up with all sorts of possible space age weapons BS. So I’m glad you didn’t fall into THAT extreme rabbit hole and instead only mentioned the Ratte.

[@kabob0077]

6:12 Hey, shortly after the Ratte was thought up Krupp came up with the idea of putting THAT onto treads to be a self propelled gun...

[@Milk192]

Deadly D measuring contest? Did you mean the entirety of Baki universe? 😂😂😂

[@kabob0077]

5:49 I mean, it may as well be a ship that grew treads given the sheer SIZE of it and its armaments. Calling it a "Land Cruiser" is pretty good a conveying how over the top it is.

[@ThatGuyOrby]

I mean the guns they were planning to put on the tank (the 11", aka 28cm, SKC/34s) were quite literally used to arm the Scharnhorst/Gneisenau class Battleships/Battlecruisers (people still can't agree on what class they were because the German word for the ship literally just translates to "armored ship").

Mr Chillzone jack ibn Chillzone. Wonderweapons don't win wars. Wunderfaffe will never win wars. Germany declared war on 3 of the greatest powers of that time; at the same time. Long term strategic planning was never their forte. Say what you will about Operation Barbarrosa but Bagration actually broke the enemies Army.

[@AHappyCub]

Contrary to common and misguided believe, Germany don't have a chance in winning WW2, the image of heavily mechanized force is partially false since while they do concentrate equipment for their mechanized force, most of their supply lines relies on horses due to a severe lack of trucks (something that the Allies did not have problem with), their big cats are simultaneously over AND underengineered with how bad their parts are and how awful it is to repair them, especially since half the time they broke down on their own (some Panthers pressed for Kursk literally caught fire while being moved from railcar), and the biggest reason they won the Battle of France is because the sheer incompetence of the allied command, and cowardice on the French High Command
