    • Vehicles;

      Light tank : T-71

      Med Tank : super Pershing - T-34-85 was a great tank in terms of how many produced , but not features in comparison

      TD : Hellcat M18 TD followed by JagPanther (T95 was pretty beastly , but just too slow)

      Heavy Tank : Tiger

      SPG : M41 155mm

      Propeller Aircraft: Mosquito Bomber

      Ship : Montanna Class battleship
      Remember: wherever you go , there you are.

    • For me it has to be the H-44 Battleship. The H-Class series was a series of proposed battleships to be produced during the 1940's period in germany with each ship in the series bigger and bolder than the last. With the H-44 the biggest, but was cancelled mainly due to it being expensive. To put it into perspective i shall compare it with the Bismark

    • Yes the H-44 was inspired by the plans shared from Imperial Japan of the Yamato class battleships.

      It wasnt just cost though. Apparently the 20 inch gun barrels would have had to be replaced after less than a score of firings (some people speculated less than 10). This coupled with a very deep draft (over 30 feet) meant that certain ports would be denied. That , and a marginalized strategic value (many in Germany's navy saw the rise of the aircraft carrier - it was Hitler and Durnitz who loved the big tanks , big ships) with the threat of aircraft assured that it would never be constructed , even if the resources could be spared.

      It would have been a monolith .. no more like a build on the scale of the pyramids in terms of effort needed by the country. The shells from those guns could have tore through any ship from stem to stern. It would have been impressive for sure.

      I liked the Montanna class for the speed/armor/firepower combination. That and the states had built like 4 of them to start with. It still blows me away the Japanese managed to build 2 Yamato class.. the parallel cost comparison in todays dollars would have been in the trillions.
      Remember: wherever you go , there you are.

    • I love the KV-2, powerhouse of a heavy/artillery tank
