Super-heavy tank

[citation needed] The British and Soviets all built prototype designs similar to the Jagdtiger, and the US was working on the project then known as T95 Gun Carriage, which was later changed to T28 super-heavy tank.

As a result of the trend of generally increasing mass, by late-war German standards the Tiger II is a heavy tank.

The idea of very heavy tanks saw less development after the Second World War, not least since the destructive force of tactical nuclear weapons would always overcome any feasible armour.

Examples include Object 279 (Soviet Union), T30 Heavy Tank (United States) and Conqueror (Britain).

[3] Fielding a tank larger than an MBT during this period would not provide a significant advantage to protection or offensive capability, considering the likely battlefield conditions and theaters of war.

[citation needed] Current development is instead focused on a combination of remaining undetected, interfering with tracking, and active countermeasures to neutralize the enemy weapon systems.

[citation needed] Neither of the TOG prototypes were built the way they were designed; had the sponsons been added and the proper turret attached, their weight would have been different.
