Visually ressembling a Tiger II, Magnum's Tiger and it's jagdtiger variant are present in the IC's arsenal, these heavy tanks are mobile pillboxes and can withstand an extreme amount of punishment while exterminating anything on the recieving end with some of these machines even being full automata for testing the idea of fully automated tanks.
"Tiger Fear has returned!" -High-Errant Magnum during live demonstration of the Tiger.
When Ukraine was absorbed into Magnum's Iron Covenant so too was all equipment and among these were 14 of the most durable tanks on Terra, Challenger 2's. Seeing an opportunity, Magnum had a demonstration take place of his main tanks firing at some of these tanks, using his Lynx, Universal Panzer, Panther and Tiger. The Lynx being a light urban tank of Magnum's forces was able to beat the Britsh Tanks armor at it's intended range with the Universal Panzer in it's tank configuration showing it also beat the armor.
The Panther fired it's main gun at just over twice the range of the Challenger 2's and the shot punched through the upper glacis of the British tank, wrecking the inside of the target. When it was the Tiger's turn, it's 8.8cm gun on impact the force from the shot caused the turret of the target to pop off and half a moment later the ammunition and fuel detonated. For a finale the jadgtiger was also demonstrated with it's 12.8cm gun destroying three Challenger 2's from front to back in a colume.
This demonstration made everyone wonder... if these are the main tanks... what else lurks in Magnum's arsenal?
Ratte Land Cruiser(Magnum's Pattern)
Not so much a tank but a landship monster made in small quantities, this machine is based on the loose design of the P1000 Ratte. Weighing in at a staggering weight of around 5,000 tons it is a landship in every sense.
It's main armament is two 28cm guns in it's turret and it's secondary range of weapons is extrodinary. Two 12.8cm cannons mounted in turrets towards the rear with one on the port and starboard on top and four quad 2cm anti-air flak autocannons.
It's powerplant is a plasma reactor with primary and secondary stablizers with a secondary battery in case the reactor needs to be ejected the Ratte can still operate for a time. The land cruiser is equiped with an extensive range of sensors, communication equipment and even jammers, allowing the Ratte to cover multiple roles from a command post, heavy support, electronic warfare and long range anti-air/artillery.
For protection the Ratte has an insane amount of composite armor, even able to shrug off fire from railguns for a time. In addition to this the Ratte has a spacecraft-level energy shield that'll recharge if it goes down with a very fast rate of reinitializing and can withstand a lot before going down.
Next is there is a variant called the Ratte Nova, where the 28cm guns are replaced with specialzed plasma cannons that envelope the plasma into magnetic pockets that turns the plasma shots into projectiles when firing, delivering an extreme amount of damage that can cleave any vessel on Terra with ease. These plasma cannons also have an anti-air fire mode that fires plasma bolts like massive shotgun blasts that cover a wide area and is extremly effective against ground targets. Their is also a pure anti-air variant called the Ratte Volly where the 12.8cm guns are replaced with equal caliber flak cannons in modified turrets and for the main turret the two 28cm guns are replaced with a quad set up of these similar in configuration to the quad 2cm autocannons.
It is also worth noting a good number of these machines are automata, most of them being the Nova variant and are equipped with self-repair systems.
....
As a side note I really wanted to try to get my hands on a good model to paint up.... but the Ratte is expensive and is more of a display piece^^; So I will put a link here to a pic of a Ratte model to help illustrate it, minus the two machine guns on the two front forward pads.
