P.1000 Ratte (Back and bigger than ever!)

[zekes]

Ladies and gentlemen. The 1400 part, 300 ton P.1000 Ratte Super Heavy Tank. Comes with four 1.25m missiles and 2 .65 meter missiles at the back. Guaranteed the largest rover in KSP.

Action group "1" toggles ladders in back (see last picture). Gear switch activates doors on the back of turret. Light on "U" as normal.

All four guns are at +5 degrees and have Jr. ports, so you can put your favorite weapons on them if you like, although this tank is protected by a large LAG-forcefeild. Capable of taking tons of fire, or carrying large interplanetary ships on its back (tesetd to 600 tons payload)

Oh my god. It just looks bigger than the SPH itself.

[Firenexus13]

O_o.... How.....

[BostLabs]

I saw this just after you posted it. I was speechless then and still not quite sure what to say now.

WOW!

[lajoswinkler]

Great, now I want to see it on Tylo.

Just ask Scott Manley

[inigma]

now I want you to build a launcher for it.

Good luck.

But will it blend?

In reality due to the square-cube law that thing would need mining-truck sized tires or equivalent to move.

Didnt the Germans in WWII try to create some sort of super ultra tank?

Thats what this is!. The P.1000 Ratte never made it past the blueprint stage, but they did built a prototype tank called the Maus. It was considerably smaller than the Ratte though, at "only" 200 tons. The Ratte was designed to weigh 1000 tons.

Yes they did something on like 160 tons... Don't know what it was called but I remember that it was so heavy that they had problems with engine and tracks

That's not a tank, that's a Bolo...

No A.I.

No screens.

No Infinite Repeaters.

Maybe a Mark 1?

I don't even...

Nice tank, also should I send you a bill for breaking my floor by making my jaw drop through it?

And of course there was the even larger Monster, although I suppose it wasn't intended to be a tank so much as a self-propelled siege fortress.

[Klingon Admiral]

The problem with such massive tanks/ self propelled guns (the 1,000t Ratte was a super-heavy tank, the 1,500 ton Monster a massive self-propelled gun) is that they are fodder for any aircraft.

[DisarmingBaton5]

Wow. Zekes, that is impressive.

Yeah, it's full size, but it lacks anything inside it, so it's 800 tons less than the real thing.

Thanks for the praise guys! Glad you like it!

bump to keep this MONSTER on the first page.

[The Destroyer]

I would call it the largest rover that looks cool, because... I really want to make something bigger to challenge that title now lol

That means you have to be bigger AND more parts have fun with that.

[Scorpi15]

Wow! A lag-field protecting you tank? That's revolutionary!

bump?????????????
