A super-heavy tank is any tank that is notably beyond the standard of the class heavy tank in either size or weight relative to contemporary vehicles.. Programs have been initiated on several occasions with the aim of creating an extremely resilient vehicle for penetrating enemy formations without fear of being destroyed in combat; however, only a few examples were built, and there is little ...
The Landkreuzer P. 1000 "Ratte" (English: Land Cruiser P. 1000 "Rat") was a design for a 1000-ton tank to be used by Germany during World War II which may have been proposed by Krupp director Edward Grote in June 1942, who had already named it "Landkreuzer" ("Land cruiser").
Colonel Iwakuro indicated that the new tank should be at least two times larger than the prototype Type 95 heavy tank (26 tonnes). The general outer appearance design was not dissimilar to the Type 95 heavy tank. [1] The proposed 100-ton prototype was to be equipped with a Type 92 105 mm cannon (Type 92 10 cm cannon) for its main gun. [1]
The T-42 (also known as the TG-V) was a Soviet super-heavy tank project of the interwar period. It was developed in 1932 by the OKB-5 design bureau at Bolshevik Plant no. 232 under the direction of a German engineer-designer Edward Grote [de; ru]. Development did not advance past the stage of construction drawings and scale models.

The "ARL Tracteur C", or ARL Char C, was a French super-heavy tank design. It was developed during the late Interbellum, by the Atelier de Construction de Rueil (ARL) company. A full-scale wooden mock-up was part produced, but the project was terminated in favor of FCM F1 (a directly competing design, which proved to be superior). The vehicle ...
The Panzerkampfwagen E-100 (Gerät 383) (TG-01) was a German super-heavy tank design developed towards the end of World War II.It was the largest of the Entwicklung series of tank designs which was intended to improve German armored vehicle production through standardization on cheaper, simpler to build vehicles.
In the 1930s, the design team was designated as the independent T2K Tank Design Bureau, and began work on the BT tank series. In 1936 the plant was re-designated "Plant No. 183", and the design bureau "KB-190". The plant also produced small quantities of multi-turreted T-35 tanks, and had a separate design bureau (KB-35) to assist in their ...
