[TABS] Tsar Tank
I’m Fame. I’m a Teardown mod creator, who’s been creating tanks, trucks, and other things for around 3 years. Notably, I’m also one of the prominent developers who contributes to the TABS Vehicle Pack, the pack that started it all.
The Imperial Russian Tsar Tank, also known as the Lebedenko Tank, was an experimental armored vehicle built in 1914–1915 during World War I. Designed by Nikolai Lebedenko, it featured an unusual tricycle layout with two enormous front wheels nearly 9 meters tall and a small rear wheel for support. The idea was that its giant wheels would allow it to easily cross trenches and obstacles, but in practice, the rear wheel often became stuck in soft ground during tests. The prototype proved impractical due to its size, weight distribution, and vulnerability, and the project was abandoned in 1915. Although it never saw combat, the Tsar Tank remains one of the most unusual and ambitious armored vehicle designs of its era
The Imperial Russian Mendeleev Tank was a conceptual design created in 1911 by naval engineer Vasily Mendeleev, long before tanks appeared on the battlefield. Intended as a massive land battleship, it was envisioned with heavy armor up to 150 mm thick, a large-caliber naval gun, and advanced features such as a hydraulic suspension system. The design emphasized protection and firepower, aiming to withstand enemy artillery and break through fortified positions. However, the tank was never built due to its enormous size, impractical weight, and the technological limits of the time. Today, it is remembered as one of the earliest theoretical designs for a heavily armored fighting vehicle.
