The T28 super-heavy tank was an American super-heavy tank/assault gun designed for the United States Army during World War II. It was originally designed to break through German defenses of the Siegfried Line and was later considered as a possible participant in the planned invasion of the Japanese mainland.
Designed to break through German fortrifications, the single suriviving T28 Super Heavy Tank has 12 inches of frontal armor and weighs in at 90 tons total, with each outer track weighing 15 tons. The outer tracks were designed to come off and be towed as a single unit behind the T28 for ease of transportation.
