I think it’s a reference to the plate launched as a side effect of Operation Plumbbob. The detonation of the nuclear device launched the metal plate upwards at a ludicrous speed.

Make it turretless so it won’t stand out more than 5 feet above the ground. Give it the most powerful engine so it can scoot at least 10 mph faster than other MBT’s over rough ground. Speed and low profile; the formula for survivability back in WW2.
Arm it with multiple elevating ramp launchers for autonomous anti-tank missiles that can fire in a 360-degree coverage toward at least 4 designated targets at any given time.
So if we’re recreating the WWII tank destroyer/assault gun, why not arm it with something crazy like a railgun or 145mm gun firing APFSDS rounds?

The thing would have to be enormous to use either of those…making it a hell of a big target.
