During the course of this series, we've haven't talked about many tanks or vehicle that are well and truly bad. The German Ferdinand / Elefant tank destroyer / self propelled gun is unequivocally terrible. In just two days of fighting during its combat debut at the Battle of Kursk, over half of all Ferdinands produced were taken out of action by mechanical failure. Despite this, the Ferdinand was still somewhat successful when it did work. So just how bad was it?
