Description Heaviest armored fighting vehicle of World War II... all 158,000 lbs of it.

It was all but unstoppable by the enemy, but very stoppable by breaking- which it did, a lot.

FYI: Heaviest was Panzerkampfwagen VIII Maus - (Sd. Kfz 205) - only one vehicles was completed, but engine fails at the road to defend Berlin...

Not to mention the thing was too heavy for any bridge in europe, it had to ferried over any river it couldnt ford.

And the fact it guzzled fuel in appropriately monstrous amounts.

Not sure if much if any of them were actually taken out by enemy tanks or antitank, instead of their own crews or artillery when they ran out of fuel.

yea the germans had some of the best heavy tanks late in the war, but the maintenance was very high.
