Il carro d'assalto pesante Tortoise (A39) fu un mezzo corazzato inglese progettato durante la seconda guerra mondiale, il cui studio venne abbandonato nel 1947.

Sviluppo

L'idea alla base di questo mezzo pesantemente corazzato era la creazione di un potente carro d'assalto che potesse superare in prestazioni i temibili mezzi tedeschi, in particolare quelli di più moderna concezione, come il Panzer VI Tiger II e la sua versione cacciacarri. Nel 1944 il progetto designato A39 viene approvato. Ne furono ordinati 6 prototipi (il primo dei quali da completarsi entro l'agosto del 1945) e se ne prospettò la produzione in serie. In effetti, dal momento che i prototipi non poterono essere consegnati per i collaudi prima del 1946/1947, il progetto non fu ulteriormente sviluppato in quanto ogni interesse riguardo a questi veicoli era venuto a cessare.

Specifiche

Il Tortoise era un veicolo dal valore tattico modesto,[senza fonte] data la sua lentezza e le sue notevoli dimensioni che ne complicavano non poco il trasporto. Presentava comunque interessanti innovazioni, tra cui la sovrastruttura realizzata in un'unica fusione e le sospensioni composte da 16 rulli accoppiati per lato.

Armamento

L'armamento principale del Tortoise era il potente cannone Ordnance QF 32 lb da 94 mm a tiro rapido. La velocità iniziale di questo cannone era di 900 m/s; il pezzo più grande montato su qualsiasi carro inglese del 1939-1945.
