Advancing Titans: Super-Heavy Tanks of 20th Century
In the first half of the 20th century, there wasn’t a single dominant tank layout that everybody used, like it happens nowadays with modern MBTs. It was a Wild West of experimentation and trial and error, with engineers coming up with all sorts of interesting and sometimes seemingly impractical ideas to adapt armored vehicles to different battlefield conditions.

P-80 Shooting Star: First Step
Many people believe that wars drive technological advancement, citing the creation of the first jet fighters at the end of WW2 as one of the most striking examples of that phenomenon. Most academics or engineers involved in the field, though, beg to differ. Because of big conflicts, new technologies are often introduced in an unfinished, raw, sometimes outright dangerous state. In other words, wars contribute to technological advancement, but they push it in a particular direction, and not always the best or the most rational one.
