Motorfestung I Ausf A

This is my second realistic tank, it is 3:1 scale again, my first attempt at a full interior realistic tank. A combination of the T-35 and A1E1 independent, lore wise the Kaiser demanded her development shortly after catching wind of the A1E1 after its prototype was shown in 1926. As you can gather from the name, it was designed to be a mobile fortress basically, a mobile strong point, able to support infantry and cut down enemy infantry. Not really equipped to deal with enemy tanks in weaponry or armour, it was to either act very much like a WW1 tank and cross trenches while acting like a shield for infantry, or to act as a mobile pillbox, and be used to fortify positions which required it. Of the 10 produced, only a few remained in service until the inevitable war, most of which would be mostly used for propaganda, much like the Char 2C.

Oh yeah, and it is like 95% mimics, kek.
