Both are big enough that they would get stuck all over the place.
The first one is so long that if there is more than a 5% grade change it would break its own back traversing it.

On the second one that 45mm gun in front is not worth the weight it adds.


In the context of the times in which it was produced, the 45mm AT gun was hardly worthless.  But obviously a multi-turreted configuration was ultimately a dead end.

Soviet T-28 Medium tank. The prototypes had a 45 mm gun installed, with 2 smaller turrets with 7.62 mm DT MGs.

what about the SMK T-35C?

Specs:

Primary weapon:45 mm gun M1932 (front), 76.2mm gun L-11 (rear)
Secondary weapon: 3×7.62 mm DT MG

Not much more absurd than the M3 Grant...

BowHTR did you make it?  Nice kit bash if you did.
Would take for ever to turn though.   :)

looks like the tank that Humphrey Bogart used to drive around the Sahara in. Movie was on the other day.
