Tortoise A39 was designed late into the war to combine extremely heavy armor planting with a gun powerful enough to wreck Panther at a 1 km range. It had both things British tanks were often lacking - armor and firepower. Yet, one cannot have it all. It lacked mobility and with a monstrous weight of 80 tons, it could only reach a maximum speed of 19 km/h on good roads. This shortcoming rendered it nearly useless for future operations and only 6 machines were built that proved otherwise fully functional and quite powerful.
Tortoise did not see much action in WW2 and was considered far from ideal design. Still, its armor and firepower were more than formidable.
