I swore I would never bug the people here with unit requests. I know we are all very busy people. But I simply cannot resist.
A while back, bhiita made the following thread, in which he was working on a massive tank, a "land battleship" as he called it:

Sadly, he seems to have abandoned us. I have not heard anything about any progress being made on this unit.
The proposed unit reminded me of an old computer game called Ogre, a science fiction war game about nearly unstoppable nuclear-armed supertanks of the same name.
This unit is very unique and I think that many of us would enjoy it. Tanks have become the very symbol of modern warfare, and while a tank this size would never be practical(future tanks will be smaller, not bigger) its presence could add great fun to the game. I mean who doesn't want to crush their enemies beneath the treads of a titanic, rolling death machine?
If any of the unit creators could either pick up where bhiita left off, or create a new "supertank" unit in the same spirit(such as the Ogre), I would be very grateful.
