IIRC the Centurions that the danish army had, could go about 250 metres per litre petrol (no diesel) :-)

I have played with Großstraktor and mean that it could by roughly the same. Big, paper, much HP.

By 1935, we already had LT Vz.35 for example, which was quite a solid light tank, or the LT Vz.34 – so there was definitely some previous success and thus experience. The “III class” was generally a screwup.

Yeah, that’s around 200ish metres per liter of fuel.

Its kinda wrong to call it failure I think since tanks still were pretty new in 1935. I applaud them for trying to come up with new designs and solutions to their problems. I would rather call it a poor design choise but then again..Tanks in 1935 were just beginnging to evolve into what they are today, so ofcourse they dident have much inspiration to what a good tank design is.

Just my opinion though..Dont hate
