Panzerkampfwagen Bär

The Panzerkampfwagen Bär or just Bär was a German military design for a self-propelled gun, devised in WW2.

Development
The Bär was only designed on paper and did not reach prototype stage. The concept was to make a formidable Assault gun/or self-propelled gun. Its specifications were very much like that of the Sturmtiger, so it may have been used in that role. The running gear was to be taken from the Tiger tank, but rather than using torsion bar for suspension, it would have used leaf springs. The gun was very large, so it had limited or no traverse, however, it could elevate.

Specifications
The vehicle was heavy, weighing up to 120 tons. Overall length was 8.2 metres. It was crewed with 6. The main gun was large, a 30.5 cm calibre H. L/16
