Schwertwal
Germany·
Heavy Tank·HT assaultThe tank was designed to eliminate the drawbacks and develop the benefits of the Panzerkampfwagen VI and VI Ausf. B (Tiger II). The main improvement was in the armor, with cast components making production less complicated. In addition, one key solution involved placing the engine and transmission in a single compartment, which improved the layout. The chassis kept a staggered roadwheel arrangement, ensuring smooth movement, while solid-propellant rocket engines from the R4M Orkan were mounted on the sides to aid self-recovery and provide better dynamics in urgent situations. Despite the progressive solutions, the tank had clear shortcomings, including less armor sloping at the front and low specific power, which limited its mobility and combat capabilities.
