To date, Games Workshop has not produced a super heavy tank, and nor has Forgeworld. The only super heavy Necron vehicles are custom made, with house rules. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- a necron phlanx [contains 2 moniliths] is quite a sight on a battle field and could easily wipe out an ork stompa or imperial banebade. i field 10 moniliths on their own as they utterly annierlate [really bad spelling] space marine terminators and characters. :)

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".
The Bolo Tank is a fictional super heavy tank with artificial intelligence. The tank was first thought of by Keith Laumer, and the tank has been in science fiction novels ever since.
None. You have yourself a phantom tank though... T-28: an American Super Heavy tank, only 2 were built at the end of WW2 There were eight mainstream Panzers, only the Panzer 8 would compare to the T-28 Panzer VII: a Nazi super heavy tank near the end of the war.
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.

The main reason for building the super heavy tanks was immunity from enemy fire. A super heavy tank would have featured thick armor that would be impenetrable to most WWII weapons. Being able to move around on the battlefield without fearing enemy fire would have been quite an advantage, but unfortunately it wasn't possible to be immune from everything. Enemy aircraft would surely target a super heavy tank on the battlefield, since it would be a big and easy target. Escape would be impossible for most super heavy tanks, since they would to slow to move away from the enemy fire. Today, enemy fire is much more powerful than during WWII. It is easy to imagine how rockets or missiles could destroy a super heavy tank much easier than a group of smaller tanks. The lack of defenses against air strikes weren't the only problem with the super heavy tanks. The construction of such a monster would require enormous amounts of raw materials - something that was in short supply during WWII and probably used better elsewhere. Another problem would be the transportation of a super heavy tank. Most of them were too big to be transported by train, so they would have to rely on their own ability to move forward. Problem was that most of them were extremely slow, so they might not reach the battlefield before it was too late. In addition, the super heavy tanks were often so heavy that they would destroy normal roads. They would therefore have to drive through fields and so on, which meant even slower movement than were possible on normal roads.

A super-tanker is a big tank.
The T30 Heavy Tank was a tank used by the United States during World War II. They were made to compete with the types of tanks that the Germans were using.
First off, the M26 was not considered a "super heavy" tank, it was considered just a heavy until it was reclassified as a medium with the introduction of the M103 after the war. By the same token, the Germans and Italians did not actually field any super heavy tanks either- in fact, the Italians didn't really have any true heavy tanks, just medium and smaller.The M26 didn't really see action against Italian tanks- the M26 did not arrive until very late in the war, in spring of 1945. By that point, most of Fascist Italy had been defeated except for some pockets in northern Italy that were defended by German troops.Reportedly, the M26 fared pretty well against German heavy tanks like the Tiger, Tiger II and Jadgpanther. It also did very well against medium tanks like the Panzer IV and Panther.
