The X-I Super heavy tank was a Quenminese Template:Super-heavy tank project during the Second Europan War. To many historians, it became the basis of Imperial fanaticism with weapons development, alongside with the Landkreuzer 500 Gnat. Personally designed by Quenminese Marshal Count Thạch Hung Sõn Chiến, with support from Imperial Grand General Bernard Gregor. Designed as a larger version of the X-O Super heavy tank, it was approved Emperor Hiệp Mạng and Prime Minister Lý Học Thao Viên, giving the go-ahead signal.
It was to be 500 tons if it was to be built. Armed with a 200mm gun and having armour thickness of 300mm, it was deemed as the Perfect tank. Rigorous studies by Quenminese Minister of Armaments Phan Ðức Quảng noted that it was a battleship on land. The sheer weight of the tank would cause bridges to collapse and would need snorkel technology to cross the river by underwater and double the manpower to get it across. It was immediately canceled despite numerous protests by Chiến. Archadian Field Marshal Victor Sazabio noted that it was the most redundant tank ever designed.
