I’ll reiterate, given huge overhang Object 704′s BL-10 is more of a stress than Krokodil’s 17 cm would be considering overall suspension capacity; Kroko’s gun is LIGHTER than Ob’s _in proportion to suspension capacity_. Thus, its armor capacity is could be at least the 120 mm @ 60°. And what doesn’t stop WG from implementing one tank shouldn’t stop another.

Since WG doesn’t require production or prototype status or even original plans for game implementation, it doesn’t matter. And with WG’s liberal approach to “technically possible”, I argue Krokodil fits within that limit and reasons for its rejection lie elsewhere (intellectual property questions being the most likely).

And as for acceptance of workable solutions, we’re talking about THE military that accepted the supposedly disastrous Panther for its main tank for many years and didn’t even bother to fix it. Rather, it complemented it with even less workable Tiger B.

*shrug* The game has a lot of setups which while technically possible were too impractical for various reasons to reach production status IRL. Real militaries having this irksome habit of tending to judge their toys as holistic systems rather than by their kewlest aspects.
“Krokodil”, I suspect, may not be even *be* techically possibly on account of being too stupidly front-heavy for any suspension given the amount of armour plate and gun involved.

And what do you do when your ride tops out at like 20km/h?
Practise knitting?

Then low-turnrate Krokodil should be a possibility. Consistency.

- multicure support? SerB: “I said it many times, there already is such a thing” – later, Storm explains more:

Then I guess my 2nd core is just a lazy bastard…

Initial design maybe but in the end it was developed by AB Landsverke.

I stand corrected, Adolf Hitler himself gave the order for a 150mm Löwe.
But to be able to hold the gun the Löwe needed to be redesigned.
The 150mm Löwe project was cancelled quite fast for the Maus.

Anyways, if you would like the Löwe with the 150mm, then it wont be a tier 8 prem.
More likely a tier X heavy,

And in fact be happy with the gun thats fitted, since there were plans to make the Löwe replace the Tiger II and arm it with the 88mm L71,

So what you’re saying is that the Löwe shold get a 150mm gun?
According to my info you’re mixing up 2 different tanks,

Tiger-Maus (VK7001) :
-150mm Kanone L/37 (or L/40)
-105mm KwK L/70

PzKpfw VII Löwe (VK7201) :
- Leichter Löwe: 105 mm L/70
- Schwerer Löwe: 105 mm L/70

Like you can see, it was never intented and never proposed for an 150mm Löwe,
