If we assume that the 60.000 tonnes Yamato is 100% made out of steel, then we could get enough steel to build 11.000 panzer 1 tanks with the weight 5 tonnes each.

@MrArtbv I think German war files or some other documentary said that the Germans figured this out already in 1941 when they gave StuGIII wider tracks to deal with the russian snow, so they used this type of tracks during winter time. So its perhaps not strange than that the Germans integrated this wide track into their late war tank designs. But this was not without problems of course. The Tiger I had 2 sets of tracks, because its wide tracks that were excellent for driving on land, snow, and mud was too broad for the railway transports, so it then needed to change to a more narrow track before it could use a train.
