 While Germany was obsessed with ever-larger tanks and ammunition, the King Tiger was firmly grounded in reality and an enormously capable war machine. It weighed 75 tons and had sloping armor, as well as a highly efficient 88 mm weapon and quick handling (at least for a tank). [([[https://tankmuseum.org/tank_collection/tiger-ii|Tank Museum]])]
+===== K Wagen =====
+The K Wagen was yet another German prototype that emphasized sheer mass as a differentiator, with the exception of the era in which it was conceived: the K Wagen was a super-heavy tank born of WW1, but faced the same challenges as later models: difficult transport, poor handling, and being too slow for its own good.

+===== FCM F1 =====
+The French FCM F1 was an early foray into the super-heavy tank class, with similar limits in maneuverability but more than making up for it in firepower and armor protection. It had 100 mm of armor protection and a variety of weaponry, including a 47 mm front cannon. [([[https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/europe/history/fcm-f1.htm|Global Security]])]
+===== Char 2C =====
+The Char 2C provided France with one of the world's only operational super heavy tanks, as it made it from the drawing board to the battlefield. It weighed 69 tons fully laden and was powered by a German-built V12. The tank, like so many others, was just too large, making quick moves impossible and making it an obvious target for hostile groups.
