Скачать или смотреть Maus Vs Object 268

This simulation demonstrates a scenario in which the soviet Object 268 tank targets the front side of a Maus (Panzerkampfwagen VIII) tank hull with BR-540B with a velocity of 720m/s corresponding to a distance of 200m.

Had the Maus project ever reached completion, it would have been by far the heaviest tank the world has ever seen. Development work began in 1941, possibly in response to Soviet heavy tank development. The initial version was to carry a 128mm gun and a co-axial 75mm weapon, with a final armament up to 170mm.

Originally intended to weigh an incredible 100 tons. The final design weighed almost twice as much. Moving this vast amount of metal around required a powerplant that was simply not available, although efforts were made to build one. Weight caused many more technical problems, with the result that the initial order for 150 was cancelled in 1943.
