Thats one weird looking errr . . . .thing.
Looks like a green battleship with tracks.

Armor: 160mm maximum; 7mm minimum
Armament: 2 X 152mm; 2 X 76.2mm; 1 X 45mm; 2 X 12.7mm DShK; 2 X 7.62mm Maxim; 14 X 7.62mm DT; 16 X BM-13 Rockets; 2 X Model 1933 Flamethrowers

Now im pretty sure that would cripple a tiger tank or two.

lol.. doubt that.. it's more of a threat for its crew than enemies, with its self-destructive tendencies

Operational History
The first prototype was completed in December 1941 and was rushed into the defense of Moscow. In its first action during a dense winter fog, the rear turret accidentally fired into the center turret. The resulting explosion completely destroyed the vehicle. The second prototype was completed in January 1942, and was sent to the Leningrad front. This one had indicators installed to show whe another turret was in the line of fire. In its initial attack on the Germans, the tank broke in half when crossing a ravine. A spark ignited the leaking flamethrower fuel and the resulting explosion completely destroyed the vehicle. The third prototype, shown here, had a reinforced hull and was also sent to the Leningrad front in early 1942. It did manage to shoot down three German aircraft. In its first ground engagement, the KV-VI was firing on German positions when coincidentally all of the guns fired from the 3 O'Clock position a the same time. The tremendous recoil tipped the tank into a ditch and the severe jostling set off the 152mm ammunition, which completely destroyed the vehicle. After these failures, Stalin cancelled the project, and many of the design team members spent the rest of their lives in the Gulags of Sibera. The KV-VI was nicknamed "Stalin's Orchestra" by the few Germans that encountered it because of the variety of weapons it deployed.

Anyone here ever read any of the "Bolo" series of books by Keith Lamar? That is what I imagine Keith had in mind with he thought up the concept. Also reminds me of a wargame I used to play in college called "Ogre."

In July 1941, Stalin learned of a single KV-II that had held off the entire 6th Panzer Division for more than a day.

Steve Jackson wrote a whole set of "micro-games", my favorite was called "Sticks and Stones", war amidst the cave men, the back panel was titled "Get back to Basics in wargaming"......

It would be nice just to try and drive that around and man it one handedly.

"Ogre", ya, that brings back memories of the 1980s.

I played a bunch of those micro games, remember "Nix Olympica"?
