Ratte Instructions
The Landkreuzer P. 1000 Ratte (Rat) was to have been an extremely large tank for use by Nazi Germany during World War II. It was designed in 1942 by Krupp with the approval of Adolf Hitler, but the project was canceled by Albert Speer in early 1943 and no tank was ever completed. At 1000 metric tons, the P-1000 would have been over five times as heavy as the Panzer VIII Maus, the largest tank ever actually built.
Its primary weapons would have been two 280 mm guns mounted in the same type of gun turret used in Gneisenau class warships. One such turret was supposedly built before the project was canceled, although documentation of its whereabouts is missing. Other guns would have included a single 128 mm gun, eight 20 mm Flak 38 anti-aircraft guns and two 15 mm Mauser MG 151/15 guns.
It would have been equipped with six 1.2 metre tracks with three tracks per side. Its power would have come from two MAN V12Z32/44 24 cylinder Diesel marine engines with 8500 hp each or eight Daimler-Benz MB501 20 cylinder Diesel marine engines with 2000 hp each to achieve the 16000 hp needed to move this tank.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Simply rez the giant treads on the ground, sit on them, and wear the hull.
PgUp and PgDn switches gears, and arrow keys control movement.
You can click on the barrel of the two main guns, the two rear guns, or the six machine guns, to fire them.
I am discounting this item because it's an old fashioned SL vehicle with a rezzable base and wearable prim details.
This thing is a lot bigger than it looks in the picture. I rezzed it and jumped back a few inches when I saw it. I love it, it's intimidating and a real conversation piece. Not to mention an effective roadblock.
My only real problem with it is the guns don't actually fire anything, this beast would be a real asset to any team in tank combat, though very cumbersome and a huge target for the enemy. I hope the creator decides to take off with this thing. Extra seats for working guns on this for other people would be simply amazing.
