Possibly GF article, on a fake topic. An invented claim for a WWII Japanese super-heavy tank, sourced to those unimpeachable paragons Reddit and World of Tanks.
As a technical concept, this makes no sense either. Japan didn't keep the major wartime projects, like
Unit 731, secret long-term. It bears no commonality to Japanese tank design. The design is, if anything, a kid's doodle from reading too much about the German
Maus.

At best, it could be something lifted from a Japanese engineer's notes but one among many paper sketches on which nothing actually progressed. Certainly in absence of any reliable source it ought to head to the bin.

Delete - I've looked into it, and as far as I can tell this tank was created as a hoax for self explanatory reasons; May I just remind everyone that Wargaming has an official WorldOfTanks Wiki, where this information would be better suited. Also, I'll point out that the article has only been edited once since this deletion log was put up on 15 November 2016, despite the article needing significant improvements.
