About the T28 / T95:

The T28 (also designated T95 Gun Motor Carriage) was an American super-heavy self-propelled gun project initiated in 1944. It was intended to break through heavily fortified defensive lines such as the German Siegfried Line. Armed with a 105 mm gun and protected by extremely thick armor, it suffered from limited mobility due to its enormous weight. The project did not proceed to mass production.

• Length: approx. 11.1 m (with gun)
• Weight: approx. 95 tons
• Armament: 105 mm T5E1 gun
• Frontal armor: up to 305 mm
