We all know about German autistic attempts at building inefficient, expensive superweapons, but what about other countries in WW2?

It shouldn't be legal to be that handsome

Japanese officers carried swords into battle and made their men charge the enemy with bayonets. I suppose that counts.

"Pierre?"
"Yes Jean Escargot?"
"Do you really think we should build a 140 ton heavy tank just for the purpose of having a tank long enough to bridge German anti-tank trenches when we could build dozens of smaller tanks for the same cost?"
"Of course not Jean, now let's strap on two turrets onto this baby and 6 machine guns too!"

No surprise when it was garbage at cutting as well as shooting

shit forgot image

Pic plz this sounds like the purest form of french engineering

Everyone did

Was it ever actually deployed?

it totally worked, I tell you!

its not flying tank you autist, its glider

So you only have 2 shots?

IIRC they were autoloading, so it was more like 10-20 shots (assuming they worked, which they never did)

Post WWII, but maybe close enough

The Japs actually got their inefficient, expensive superweapons operational. Never did anything with them though, until it was far too late.
