SH-28 "Chimera"

"Strike at his head and you'll be attacked by it's tail. Strike at it's tail and you'll be attacked by it's head. Strike in the middle and you'll be attacked by head and tail both."

The SH-28 began life when design specifications for a tank known as the "Heavy-Breakthrough Vehicle" were created in 1926. It was to be a 30 tonne tank armed with a 10.5 cm Howitzer gun in a fully rotating turret and having a length of at least 8 meters and a width of 4 meters.
Prototype after prototype, the weight, size and armement kept augmenting, and in the end, what was created was a monstrous machine. Manned by a crew of 7, the SH-28 was armed with a 105mm Howitzer gun, two 20mm canons, and a 12,7mm machine gun.
Sadly, due to high production costs, the Tank never entered mass production, with only 50 of them being operational at the beginning of the war.

    Wait! All is not lost! If you download the tank then click undo and then redo you should be able to load the tank without the tracks!! @WernsterProductions this works for all modded builds for future reference:D

    Aww, I Really Wanted To Try This Design Out But Sadly I'm On Mobile And I Couldn't Use The Tracks Mod. Very Nice Though, It's Great Seeing Fellow Tank Designers Come Up With Interesting Designs!

    @K2K Yes it is intentional, it's a pretty large, slow-moving tank

    Just wondering if the oversize is intentional cause I have realism judging criteria.

    I hear the spirits of 1930s tank designers moaning in excitement.
