Hey now, the Bolo only ever got up to 212 meters, in the Indrani MkXXXIV. 500m is even more wank than a Bolo, and I believe there hasn't been the orifice constructed to accomodate wank of the magnitude.

Well, here's a brief discussion of my tank (slightly edited):
The Champion MkV's main weapon is a 210mm smoothbore cannon firing multi-stage kinetic penetrators, 10 Kiloton fission shells, anti-infantry flechette canisters, tactical antimatter shells, and other special purpose shells. It has a coaxial 50mm machinegun for use against light targets, a pintle-mounted 30mm machinegun, auxilliary launchers firing smoke grenades or ECM/ECCM units, and a pop-up 20mm minigun in the turret.
It's armour is composed of a principal layer of neutron-enriched tungsten, with layered diamontanium armour on top. Explosive reactive armour, umbrella shields, tesla armour, antiprojectile laser units, and magnetic shielding can also be fitted.
It is also one of the first few units to be equipped with AIEPP (Anti Infantry Explosive Plastic Plating), which consists of alternating layers of plastic and explosives, which can be manually or automatically detonated to send razor sharp shards of toughened plastic ripping through any infantry which get too close, without damaging friendly armoured vehicles.
It has a top speed of 200k/h, can negotiate 45 degree inclines, and has a 7500bhp engine which can operate for 96 hours before requiring refueling, giving it a range of 20,000Km.
It typically has a kill ratio of 1:1000 against enemy armoured vehicles
The below picture shows the Champion MkV with an M1 Abrams to the same scale:

Sorry, there isn't much there for scale. Most of these tanks are 3-5 times the size of regular tanks. They are massive crawling cathedrals of destruction.umm... i dont get it... Confused they just look like slightly large tanks (unless i'm missing something that makes them far greater in size/power than i'm currently seeing)

Were those real conceptual tanks for the Nazis or are they just fictional?

Fortunately, mine has missile launchers and plasma guns that can shoot down incoming shells AND missiles.

My tanks come with air support
I'd like to see an F-22 go against that!
