It could be used for making the path through a bocage much less annoying.

BTW, Robotnik thanks for posting  the T-34 with skirts, I think Lord Wiffleby will like that as a thing for the Soviets in "1949". What year was this done, and if you would happen to know, by which country?

Rammig was a tactic frequently used by the Germans in Russia. All kinds of vehicles are written about as being rammed but the most common is ATGs

Did the Ramtiger ever have a gun?

And I am seeing a pattern here. German philosophy: The bigger, the better ;D

What a waste of tiger chassis. But I like the 16-1f, WoT should have it or burn all the French tanks!  >:(

I like the waffenträger, Put a 88 on a little mobile platform. For defensive operations I think it would be very effective! Quite cheap too if you think about its lack of turret armour etc.
Dont need a specific crew either. If somebody dies its easy to jump onboard and take over his role. Where to store the ammo however would be hard :S

The first black and white photo of the rammtiger btw, Is it just me but doesnt it look like.. a little bit photoshoped? I hope not because I think its a really cool tank but I wouldnt be suprised if it was never made.
Like Dann88 said, its kind of a waste to take a tiger, a mobile fortress like COH describes it XD And make it into a noncombat vehicle..
