Editing TOG 2

{{British}}

A prototype tank which takes the concept of "Land Battleship" way too literally, the TOG 2 is another tank that never saw service, but is pretty cool regardless. This longboi is pretty much a [[Grot Tanks|Grot Megatank]], complete with thin, ramshackle armor, it would've had sponsons too, but then they realized that would be dumb. [[Imperium of Man|Who's]] [[Leman Russ (tank)|dumb]] [[Land Raider|enough]] to [[Adeptus Mechanicus|do]] that?

You'd think that a tank this large would have better armor, but no, ''it has even less armor than a Sherman''. At least it has the 17-pdr, which lets it trade shots with other, better heavies.

The TOG2 is a prototype Heavy tank designed by '''T'''he '''O'''ld '''G'''ang of tank designers that designed the original British Mark tanks. An even earlier concept than the [[Churchill]], it was also designed on the assumption that World War II would devolve into a clusterfuck of [[Death Korps of Krieg|trench campers]]. The TOG2 is basically the "Land Battleship" concept applied with more "modern" technology, applying lessons like torsion-bar suspensions (which gave it a much better ride and control), lower-run tracks versus an over-under design, twin-engines (one for each track), and of course, a turret. In spite of that, the design still showed its age and "The Old Gang's" obsolete way of thinking: it was slow (24 km was its ''theoretical'' top-speed), had thin armor, and its length was more of a detriment than an advantage, even if they did manage to include the planned sponsons. By the time the first prototype was built, it was already obsolete, replaced by the Churchill, a slightly more sane take on the concept. Still, it was designed for a line breakthrough and was the perfect tank for that... if the Siegfried line was World War 1 fortifications that is. The TOG remains as an cool museum piece and fun to play with in [[/v/|World of Tanks]], where it is considered more of a meme tank that you have to pay for the privilege of playing. Even though it's a vidya that takes multiple liberties for "balance", the TOG2 was still so shitty in game that they've removed it from their store and is now more of a legacy tank to show off one's grizzled neckbeard status.
