Did this one ever get to the design phase at least? Never heard of it, but considering the number of desperate proposals towards the end that isn't really saying much. Interesting idea though without a better engine (maybe the MB turbo diesel?)it would reduce performance even more with the extra weight that this turret implies...

I don't think it was ever a paper panzer, more a what-if.

This looks a lot like the Paladin A7 turret.

What's up?!? I thought for sure that you "Paper Panzer/What-If-Guys" would be "ALL OVER" this thing!

Aside of their Jet Fighters, the V-1 and the V-2, the Germans weren't coming up with very many ideas that made very much sense after late 1943...
