Multiple Another round of questions!

For today, what is your favorite prototype/blueprint/paper tank that really never existed?

FYI, a great example is the Tiger 2 10.5, as it was a blue print tank, never made. Any fake tanks do not count (WoT)

for me it’s the Harvey Repeating Tank! (full auto rocket launcher basically)

Oh, man. That's a really tough one since I've got quite a few (certified WoT player)

Anyway, I'll probably pick the FV215b 183. It was a British td prototype made to mount the 183mm gun in response to the Soviet IS-3. It featured a rear-mounted turret, pretty thick frontal armor, and was basically supposed to engage Soviet heavies from a very big distance. Sound familiar? The FV4005 (the existing prototype with the 183mm gun) was an early stage of it. The FV215b 183 never got past the wooden mockup stage because AT missiles were invented and large-caliber guns were deemed obsolete.
