A famous episode is that it was equipped with a 128mm gun that was planned to be mounted on the super-heavy tank Maus on the chassis of Tiger II, the most powerful tank during World War II,
and destroyed an M4 tank hiding in the shadow of a house, shooting through the house and all.
The frontal armor is a maximum of 250mm, making it a small land fortress that cannot be destroyed by Allied tanks in a frontal battle.
It weighs 75t, about three times that of a Panzer IV tank and about 2.5 times that of an M4 or T34. From Japan, which has no resources, it makes you want to say, "Give me that steel!"
A decrease in operational rate due to excessive weight is common in German tanks in the latter half of the war, but this was the worst case scenario,
and it seems that there were many cases of suspension trouble → excessive weight made it impossible to recover → self-destruction and abandonment.
For a tank destroyer with a non-moving turret, a situation where the tracks do not move means that it cannot fight.

第二次世界大戦中の最強戦車・ティーガーIIの車体に超重戦車マウスに搭載予定の128mm砲を搭載、
家屋の影に隠れたM4戦車を家屋もろとも打ち抜いて撃破した、というのも有名なエピソードです。
前面装甲は最大250mmと、連合軍戦車では正面からの打ち合いでは破壊が不可能な、ちょっとした陸の要塞です。
その重量は75t。IV号戦車の約3倍、M4やT34の約2.5倍です。ウチら資源貧国・日本からすれば「その鉄よこせ」と言いたくなります。
重量過多による稼働率の低下は大戦後半のドイツ戦車のお家芸みたいなもんですが、これはその最たるもので、
足回りにトラブル→重量過多で回収不能→自爆・放棄という事態があいついだ模様です。
砲塔の動かない駆逐戦車にとって履帯が動かない、という事態は戦闘不能を意味します。
