Mendeleev Tank
The Mendeleev Tank was a proposed early tank design by Russian naval engineer Vasiliy Mendeleev, son of Russian scientist Dimitri Mendeleev, who created the modern periodic table. The vehicle was envisioned by Mendeleev during his time working at the Kronshtadt Marine Engineering School in Saint Petersburg, Russia, from 1911 to 1915. Its purported purpose was to be an ultra-heavy "landship" immune to all enemy fire and able to cross large battlefields while providing heavy artillery support to troops using a 120 mm gun. The proposed tank was one of the heaviest tanks of all time, at 173.2 tons, it would have been just a dozen tons lighter than the German Maus superheavy tank of World War II.

This is literally my most favorite WW1-era tank. Exceptional job!
@Sarnnox btw I made a Saint-Chamond back then on my old phone, sadly that phone got bricked.
This is about as poorly designed as the Saint-Chamond tank.
This is why you don’t let naval engineers get there hands on the manual of how to build tanks.
I like moving pillboxes
