Super Heavy Tank unit concept

I was thinking that a good unit addition could be the Super Heavy Tank, designed by Ferdinand Porsche for the Germans towards the end of WW2. The unit could come from the secret tech branch, and would become available around day 16.

It would be extremely powerful, dealing around 30 to all classes, but would also be very expensive, slow and take a while to produce. Just an idea

The max levels heavy tanks ARE actually super heavy tanks.

Then again, strategic bombers would blast away the Ratte considering the altitude and being considered as a moving building (fortress ofc). That would mean rockets, strategic bombers, and other units that can obliterate buildings can make the Ratte more impractical.

Wasn't the Ratte just a concept that never left the drawing board? Or was it produced but never saw service?

Here's the problem I see with getting super, super heavy and super, super powerful units that no conventional weapon can stop - it will kill the gameplay. These underage noobs that we find on our maps or see in the chat rooms, instead of developing a strategy and involving themselves in the game play, will just go for the biggest and strongest unit they can produce and not be willing to research or produce any other unit. That's going to completely kill the game for everyone else.

Keep a mind that some of the units that we have never left paper; an example would be Russian Carriers namely remained projects and the max levels of Axis strategic bombers.

But the second part I do agree with, which is the whole reason why nukes are so expensive; because they aren't mean for spamming and will require an exceptional financial stability along with it may being very very hard to balance.

I don't think so, if the devs balanced it in such a way that it wasn't an immortal mobile rocket. Naturally it would be exceedingly susceptible to planes, would be extremely slow (the T38 super heavy tank moved at a speed of 8mph) and expensive. An experienced player could easily defeat one controlled by a poor player, and it would be an interesting addition to the relatively bland secret tech branch we have at the moment.

Well how about this one...?

or this...?

lol yeah, obviously... just people having fun with photoshop! Just making it as a point against super-heavy tanks... otherwise, we might introduce these firing-breathing dragons as well!

Don't forget Jetpack infantry and Haunebru air units if we go that direction :) .

Or helicopters, which were actually used in WW2, though in a very limited way.

These super heavy tanks do look interesting and would be very powerful against other units but there is a reason that the German Maus tanks were never deployed into the battlefield.

The sheer weight of it would cause the ground to collapse therefore rendering the tank useless.

just give us a KV-2-2-2

Yeah, the Germans couldn't afford to build it, AND they lost before they could use it.

not arguing but APPARENTLY there was a report that the germans actually tried using it,but that's only apparently,i don't know what,but static defense,plus i'm not even sure where i heard it,maybe mark felton,but idk
