The X-O Super heavy tank was a design for a Quenminese super heavy tank that was to be used in all theatres of war. The tank was very heavy at 120 tons, armed with a 120mm gun, had a thickness of 200mm, and was powered by 2 V12 diesel engines. The project was enthusiastically planned by Quenminese Marshal Count Thạch Hung Sõn Chiến with support from Imperial Grand General Bernard Gregor. It was pushed and approved by Emperor Hiệp Mạng and Prime Minister Lý Học Thao Viên, giving the go-ahead signal. By the time that a turret had been made, many started to question its effectiveness in combat, especially that mobile warfare was becoming the norm. Given its large size and being almost redundant in any combat situation, Quenminese Minister of Armaments Phan Ðức Quảng cancelled it.
