Well, in the spirit of the bomber thread, let us revisit the anals of armored warfare to see some of the real stinkers that various nations engineers have turned out. Obviously any tanks which only got to the prototype phase don't count, so only tanks that entered production and actually saw combat. Here are my nominees:

King Tiger: A moving pillbox that cost a lot more to build and was easier to destroy than a pillbox. I use the term moving because it could quite easily be broken down or out of fuel. Although it was good at killing tanks, it was probably better at using up resources.

T-35: Unreliable, oversized on the outside, undersized on the inside, and just all around a piece of junk.

Fiat M14/41: Again unreliable, hard to work in, and was the italian attempt to build a tank version of the hindenburg.
