One reason the Ferdinands were unreliable was because the Jewish slave laborers conscripted to manufacture them were sabotaging the internals.

The Ferdinand also lacked a turret so the entire 65 ton vehicle had to be repositioned to line up another shot.
That doesn’t seem like a good idea.
I wonder what Ferdinand Porsche was thinking with that design?
