Apocalypse Tank - Papercraft (Super Heavy Tank) Command & Conquer Red Alert 2

The Apocalypse tank was a largely updated and refined version of the earlier Mammoth tank and was the signature Soviet super heavy tank in both iterations of the Third World War. It was described by Zofia as a "war in a can". It possessed a pair of powerful cannons effective against both vehicles and structures, and was capable of eliminating light vehicles with a single volley. The Apocalypse also featured dual Mammoth Tusk missile launchers, effective against enemy aircraft. Like the Mammoth tank, the Apocalypse was designed to go toe-to-toe with any enemy unit, and emerge the last unit standing.

The tank itself is much larger and slower than the Grizzly and Rhino tanks, but also much more powerful, doing more than twice the damage of the Rhino with its twin cannons. In addition to its cannons, the Apocalypse also features a pair of anti-air missile launchers. Although these missile launchers are slow to fire, they are significantly more powerful than other anti-air missiles such as those found on IFVs. This allows the Apocalypse tank to defend itself reasonably well against aerial threats, especially in conjunction with its advanced heavy armor. Its armor is only equaled by the Battle Fortress and Kirov airship. An integrated advanced self-repair system which is massively improved and refined over the older Mammoth tank, allowed the Apocalypse to slowly fully repair itself out of combat when damaged.

When elite, they become extremely powerful, quickly firing a barrage of 4 high explosive AT rounds that are equally devastating against all armor types, including infantry although non-promoted tanks are still huge threats. And since they do heavy damage against buildings, the tanks can function as a viable siege unit, good for drawing fire from base defenses while dishing out heavy punishment.

Schwerer Gustav (German Railgun)

Imagen
  History: was a German 80-centimetre (31.5 in) railway gun. It was developed in the late 1930s by Krupp in Rügenwalde as siege artillery for the explicit purpose of destroying the main forts of the French Maginot Line, the strongest fortifications in existence at the time. The fully assembled gun weighed nearly 1,350 tonnes (1,490 short tons), and could fire shells weighing 7 t (7.7 short tons) to a range of 47 km (29 mi). The gun was designed in preparation for the Battle of France, but was not ready for action when that battle began, and in any case the Wehrmacht's Blitzkrieg offensive through Belgium rapidly outflanked and isolated the Maginot Line's static defences, which were then besieged with more conventional heavy guns until French capitulation. Gustav was later deployed in the Soviet Union during the Battle of Sevastopol, part of Operation Barbarossa, where, among other things, it destroyed a munitions depot located roughly 30 m below ground level.

Papercraft - Building Sd.Kfz. 165 Hummel (German Self-propelled Artillery)

Imagen
History: Hummel (German: "bumblebee") was a self-propelled gun based on the Geschützwagen III/IV chassis and armed with a 15 cm howitzer. It was used by the German Wehrmacht during the Second World War from early 1943 until the end of the war. Its ordnance inventory designation was Sd.Kfz 165. This vehicle arose from the need to provide artillery support to armored units such as the Panzer Divisions, but without making the division lose mobility. Based on the chassis of the Panzer IV, the mobile turret was replaced by a fixed structure where an artillery gun was housed. Initially they were mounted with a 105mm cannon to finally go on to mount a 150mm sFH 18M cannon with 18 rounds. The Hummels were delivered to the heavy batteries of the Panzer Divisions' armored artillery detachments in early 1943, first entering action at the Battle of Kursk. Subsequently ammunition transports were assigned to the division. More than 500 units of this vehicle were built. 3D Model: XXXgau

Char 2C (French Super Heavy Tank) Papercraft

Imagen
History: The Char 2C, also known as the FCM 2C, is a French heavy tank, later also seen as a super-heavy tank, developed during World War I but not deployed until after the war. It was, in total volume or physical dimensions, the largest operational tank ever made. Designed at the end of the Great War to replace the Saint-Chamond tank and participate in the main offensives planned for 1919, this super heavy and heavily armed tank had to be able to cross trenches of 5.20 m, - the width of a lock in the north channel of France - and crush enemy checkpoints without the support of artillery. Faced with the technical and industrial problems of this program too ambitious for the capabilities of a French industrial-military complex already committed to the maximum of its capabilities, General Jean Estienne ordered, in January 1918, no less than 700 of these "land battleships" . intended for assault artillery. Only ten were finally built by the Forges et Chantiers de la Méditerrané
