Get out the grease gun and getter runnin’!!
A steampunk’s rolling iron dream!
But as useful in war as a sub with screen doors.
Wondered which way it was supposed to go forward?
The obvious way would restrict it main guns.
When making it a easy target for every gun on the front.
No wonder the Romanovs met their end in a cellar with military genius like this.
I assumed a tail dragger for after the main wheels went over the trench.
Should have some awesome nastiness on the bottom for hanging over the trench.
It might have a trap door underneath so a machine gunner could spray the trench it crossed
It’s been a while since I first read about the czar tank but the thing was underpowered and prone to breaking down. Got stuck in a marsh and there it stayed. Evidently somebody pulled it out and put it on display.
