Rockets, perhaps not, but aerial bombing would reduce a Landkreuzer to rubble in minutes. It would have nowhere to run and no place to hide, and blind pilots couldn't miss it. An armored vehicle on that scale built with 1940s engine technology would have a maximum speed in the "man on foot" range and the maneuverability of a small town, and with that vast expanse of deck, it'd be a dive bomber's dream target.

Like many last-ditch Nazi weapon ideas, the Ratte was all sizzle and no steak.
