Re: Development questions, please respond.
Well honestly, Hitler wasn't exactly known for making logistically conscious decisions, and the German Army from day one was a logistical nightmare because it had to make ends meet on equipment. Depending on SGTGunn's alternate history, Hitler might still take responsibility for all armament development decisions at a certain point (as he did in real life), which might lead to this situation.
Remember, Hitler was the guy who with limited resources decided to produce two initial production runs of tanks, one of which would become the Tiger, and other of which they had to find a use for. The decision to create the Ferdinand/Elephant was not one that had been preplanned for the excess, it was done because they needed to make use of them.
