One more pic.  The U.S. had some pretty impressive ground vehicles by the end of World War II.  For scale, note the kid lying underneath the T28.

Sun is that Ft. Knox and is that white building behind the T28 where they have the sims?  It's been too many years for me to remember :)

T-26 and T-28? Wouldn't that be M-26 and M-28?

Projects were marked as "T's" and production models as "M's'".
T28 (later T95 Gun Motor Carriage 105mm) never came to production.

T-28 might have been a monster on the battlefield, had it seen production.
Read an article that said it was so heavy that the outrigger treads had to be fitted to support it's weight, and fitting those made it too wide to fit across many of the bridges in Europe.
Can you imagine what it would've looked like to see four or five of those behemoths crawling across a meadow towards you?  The business end of those cannon would have looked like battleship cannon when they were pointed at you in anger.........

T-28 had removable outer treads to cross bridges.  The T-28 was designed to bust through heavy fortifications like the Sigfreid Line.  Its the heaviest tank the U.S. has built so far.

I think two or three T-28s were built.

HEAT = High Explosive Anti Tank but at least Germans used it as "multi purpose" ammo due to its HE-filling and fragmentation.
