KV-VI Behemoth was more than a landship, it was a Communist wet dream. It had some hilarious history, too: "The first prototype was completed in December 1941 and was rushed into the defense of Moscow. In its first action during a dense winter fog, the rear turret accidentally fired into the center turret. The resulting explosion completely destroyed the vehicle. The second prototype was completed in January 1942, and was sent to the Leningrad front. This one had indicators installed to show whe another turret was in the line of fire. In its initial attack on the Germans, the tank broke in half when crossing a ravine."

Dont forget the Porsche designed 188 ton Panzerkampfwagen VIII Maus (Mouse)!!!

128mm main gun with a 75mm coax!!! Never quite made it into production. Some say one was in combat in Berlin but this was never proven.
