The TOG 2, officially known as the Heavy Tank, TOG II, was a British super-heavy tank design produced during the early stages of World War II for a scenario where the battlefields of northern France devolved into a morass of mud, trenches, and craters as had happened during World War I.

The Tank, Heavy, TOG 1 was a prototype British super-heavy tank produced in the early part of the Second World War in the expectation that battlefields might end up like those of the First World War. It was designed so it could cross churned-up countryside and trenches.

Weighing 80 tons the TOG II* is the heaviest tank in the Museum. It was designed on the premise that World War II would evolve in the same way as the First World War.

As a 72.5 ton behemoth of a tank weighing more than even the M1A2 SEP V2 and Tiger II (H) and only 2.7 tons shy of the Jagdtiger 's 75.2 ton weight, the TOG II is slow.

Feb 17, 2019 · The TOG heavy tanks – TOG 1 and TOG 2 – were very large, heavy tanks that were designed to cross wide trenches and withstand anti-tank weaponry. They never saw action. At 80 tons, TOG 2 was the heaviest tank produced by Britain during World War II.

May 5, 2023 · In reality, the TOG was a tank desired by Britain before the war as a solution to overcoming enemy fortifications, not as a pre-emptive plan for trench warfare built by has-beens. It was adaptable, well armored, had plenty of firepower …

Aug 25, 2020 · Although the goal was to produce this new special tank at just 32 tons (32.5 tonnes), this longer option would obviously mean more weight, perhaps around 40 tons (40.6 tonnes), and a reduced performance (assuming the same power plant was to be used).

The Tank, Heavy, TOG II was a prototype British tank design produced in the early part of the Second World War in case the battlefields of northern France turned into a morass of mud, trenches and craters as had happened during the First World War.
