Is that a Yamato turret on top of a M6A1 chassis? Alrighty then.

Japanese Ratte?

I'd say its a upscaled WoT Type 4 or 5 hull, with some extra AA-turrets and missing the original hull guns and the drivers viewport is the same scale.

One has to wonder what the purpose of it is, seeing how you cant take it off the mainland of Japan, and Japan itself isnt big enough of a battlefield for it...

...and for that matter, the Americans arent going to be able to bring anything big enough to fight it, but at the same time this tank cant fight the smaller tanks because it cant depress its guns far enough to shoot them!

Ratte has some point to it, at least.

Uh, costruct ship hull around it?

Twin five inch DP batteries (127mm). Those will take out any tank of the era. Triple 18.1 inch turret? Take out ships 30 km out to sea.

If you got leftovers from the Shinano conversion and the uncompleted fourth Yamato....might as well use them.

Its Type 5 Heavy or an O-I Chassis with 127mm DP guns.
