  Star Wars: Databank | T4-B Heavy Tank
One of several repulsor tank designs acquired by the Rebel Alliance in a staged raid on a sympathetic Aridus armor manufacturer, the T4-B is the heaviest armor unit found in Rebel arsenals.
The latest in a series of tanks by Yutrane-Trackata, the T4-B is the larger tracked cousin of the T2-B Repulsor Tank.
The armored crawler is expensive to produce, so the cash-strapped Alliance uses them sparingly; but when deployed on the field by the skillful commander, they can be devastating.

A new heavy tank was supposed to weigh 30 tons and come equipped with a engine more powerful than the Panzer IV.

The tank's debut was unsuccessful, but this was found to be more of a command fault because it was used on swampy ground.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. military's Abrams tank, designed during the Cold War to withstand the fiercest blows from the best Soviet tanks, is getting knocked out at surprising rates by the low-tech bombs and rocket-propelled grenades of Iraqi insurgents.
But since the March 2003 invasion of Iraq, with tanks in daily combat against the unexpectedly fierce insurgency, the Army says 80 of the 69-ton behemoths have been damaged so badly they had to be shipped back to the United States.
At least five soldiers have been killed inside the tanks when they hit roadside bombs, according to figures from the Army's Armor Center at Fort Knox, Ky. At least 10 more have died while riding partially exposed from open hatches.

The IS-2 Stalin tank was popularly called the 'Victory tank' in Russia due to its close association with the defeat of Germany in 1945.

The events contributing to the Soviet Union's need to design and possess a heavy tank are discussed, with particular reference to the unsuccessful KV series and the advent of a new generation of heavy German tanks including the Tiger.

 French Heavy Tanks
Remarkably, these tanks (and there is some reason to believe that France obtained a few more as you can read next) were active in the French army right up to 1930.
The remaining eight tanks, assigned to the 51st French Tank Battalion, were immobilized or destroyed while being transported, on their special railroad cars, to the front on 15 June by the German air force.
Brought back to Germany, the tank was captured by the USSR and was last seen in 1948 in East Germany (there are reports of photographic evidence to support this claim).

The design up to then had been the culmination of work done by Porsche who had won the contract for the heavy tank that March.
Most of the life of the working Maus prototypes was in testing around Kummersdorf and at the proving grounds in Böblingen, but the V1 and V2 versions were also involved in one known mission in a combat area that ended in both tanks being over-run and captured by Soviet forces.
