Me I have one E-100 started already, I just love its rounded side hull. Its 1/6 scale and... its big yes... but I don't care, as honestly I don't plan to use it in combat... even if it will be in working condition, RC and Marker. I have a 1/6 KT that run wonderfully. I have no doubt that if I show up with the E-100 I will be able to use it... even if for some burocratic reason he don't register his hits and disses... after all .. the pleasure of running it in the grass and fight... even if it offer the biggest target ever.. would be of far superior interest than its entry in the book of record.
As we speak.. only the frame of the lower hull of the E-100 is build, and its getting cold to do more for the winter, but next summer it will be the first thing I work on.

The result is still a large target silhouette from the side and rear...

The super-heavies can be built to the 36" rule versus the 1/6th rule. That would lighten the tank considerably. That is the beauty of the rules as they stand. A person can build a tank for playbility, scaled realism, or even both. Before building my first tank, I was fretting about which tank to build that would not give me a disadvantage. After finally making a battle, I see that tank choice is really more about building what I like and overcoming the obstacles of getting it built more than what advantage/disadvantage the tank might possibly have on the field. In the end, just making a battle with my own tank was a better reward than waiting to build the "perfect" tank. As for Steve's question: in all honestly I would like to build a prototype vehicle, but realistically know that it wouldn't happen soon or even within the next few years even if protos are approved for the game.

There are two reasons imo why the super-heavy tanks are unlikely to work well in the meta-game. Firstly, same problems as real life; slow, cumbersome, big target, dont like mud and soft ground etc. Secondly, they are huge for no advantage in the game per the rules. If we added a defensive rating of 5 for tanks that were over 100 tons (not that im advocating this directly, just pointing out an option), then at least there would be some advantage to being the size of a duplex...

How many of you would actually complete a combat ready tank if you could build that E-100, PL-01, or any other proto-design that's been discussed over the years? Go ahead, be honest.
