Was the German Maus better than the American T30 Tank?

The German Maus was a super-heavy tank that was designed for armored superiority, fielding a 128 mm gun. But it was impractically slow (8 mph). The Maus was never completed.The T30 was only finished after the end of World War II but could have inflicted damage on a Maus with its oversized 155 mm gun. The T30 had lighter armor but was considerably faster at up to 22 mph.The T30 today is considered a "tank destroyer" and the Maus was not the largest tank that Nazi Germany designed. The biggest tank was called the Ratte (Landkreuzer P. 1000 Ratte) , five times the weight of the Maus at over 1000 metric tons. This proposed Super Tank would have mounted twin 280mm naval guns, as well as adopting marine diesel engines for its motive power.


What was the name of the American tank in World War 2?

Technically speaking, there were actually many tanks that have participated in WW II. For example, there was a super heavy tank called the T28 equipped with the 120 mm gun, built to counter other super heavy tanks such as the German tank Maus. Another USA tank was the T29. The T29 also had "brothers and sisters". The T29 is a prototype heavy tank designed with the 105 mm. It was made along with 2 other prototypes called the T30 and the T34. The last tank made was the T32. The T32 was the real deal. There is also another USA tank called the M10 Wolverine. There are many many more USA tanks but I'm not sure when they were made.

What is the purpose of the settling tank in a fuel system and what happens in the tank?

Ship fuel is not fed straight into the main engine, as first of all the HFO (Heavy Fuel Oil) is pumped and then separated into a settling tank (buffer tank). The settling tank is connected to the service tank (day tank). This service tank is filled via a continuous overflow from the settling tank and is also connected with the main engine. The oil is heated in both the settling and service tank to make sure that an even temperature of between +75°C and +90°C (or +167°F and +194°F) is maintained, as this keeps the heavy fuel oil (HFO) at a consistency that can be pumped easily.

M6 Super tank info.?

The M6 Heavy Assault Tank was a prototypical tank built in WWII. It was a designed on the base chassis of the failed T1 Heavy tank. It was armed with a 90mm M10 cannon, had 130mm armor, and the original T1 chassis. The M6 was designed in response to the rise of the new Tiger and Panther tanks. However, it was bulky and unwieldy, with a huge silhouette, and as such was unsuited for combating the Tiger tank. It was never designated as a Super Heavy tank. Aside from the M6HT, no other tank was designated with the name "M6".
