British Forster's Battletank

Foster’s Battletank was an unrealized British First World War heavy-tank proposal associated with the industry developing the early tanks. It envisaged a very large vehicle with substantial forward armament and an elaborate tracked arrangement intended to cross difficult obstacles. No completed Battletank entered service. Drawings proposed an exceptionally large vehicle with multiple weapons, at a time when practical British tanks were still being developed. Such studies tested ideas beyond the machines that industry could realistically field. The project has no battlefield career, despite the imposing appearance of modern illustrations. The proposal belongs to the exploratory period of British tank design, when engineers considered many arrangements before service requirements became firmly established.
