Super heavy tanks are just plain NEAT, although very impractical. If a Great War should break out earlier--say around 1900--would it be possible for crude tanks to be introduced (IMVHO, the trench deadlock is completely possible in the 1890's)
And--if the war continued for a while, might very heavy tanks be introduced? The war would perhaps spur development of internal combustion engines faster than in OTL.
I know this is way the heck out there--but the monsters are neat.
