It would make a great replacement for the M1A1 Abrams in the future. The U.S.Mlitary should build scorpion tanks like in HALO. It would make a great replacement for the M1A1 Abrams in the future.

I don't think that obtaining the amount of raw materials would be as difficult as the complexity of the design, besides the biggest problem the nazis had was the way they designed tanks, they were meant to look good on paper, that is why they started the war whit tanks that were no better than those of the allies (they believed their tanks were better). It is ironical that hitler brought germany back in power and it is he who drove it into the abys, in this matter he was no better than mussolini, he was presented something on paper and then decided what to make, the problem is he probably never saw a tank in action and he certainly wasn't a technician. The nazis would probably be much better of if they used their resources to make something that worked, rather than wasting them on such stupid designs, perhaps if the SS would be in charge of their tank construction all along they just might have got the SCHWARZWOLF ready for production.

After WWI, Germany was best positioned to develop an armored force doctrine which emphasized speed, penetration and exploitation - perfect role for the tank. As they explored what characteristic the ideal tank should have they learned that bigger was better until they went through the ceiling and over did it. Well-armored and armed mediums became the most successful in a broad application of tasks but they had to explore the limits. The big tanks failed and went away because they were too specialized.

Seems to fit with other concept art I've seen of it, but this is one opf the best reditions, shown to scale with with I think is a "Maus", and a truck. http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:P1500_Monster.gif&filetimestamp=20090318103623 Here’s a concept picture of the p.1500 “Monster” from wikipedia.

Areas were too built up, roads were narrow, even the autobahn had limits on bridges both in weight and width. 2) as fuel became harder to obtain, it became logistically impossible to sustain. And 3) as was shown in the Ostfront, when the spring came, everything turned to mud. these monsters would just sink in and become a permanent fixture.
