Title: T-35 and T-100 now thats a tank
Post by: handy169 on October 04, 2006, 04:13:06 PM
The T-35 was a Russian tank designed around the land battleship concept. It had five Independant turrets, a main one armed with a 76.2 mm gun, two with
37 mm guns and coaxial machine gun and the other two with a single machine gun. It carried a crew of eleven and had a top speed of 18 mph and a range
of 153 km. It was fairly lightly armoured, with a maximum armour thickness of 30 mm.

I believe they were 45mm guns.  IIRC it was made in the inter-war years and by WWII only a couple were still running.  It would be interesting, but if HTC was to model something with secondary guns, I would suggest the US M-3 Lee/Grant, British Churchill I or French Char B1.

Whoops, sorry, thought I was still in the wishlist forum.  Yes, very interesting tanks. :D

M-8's will eat these alive.  They are slow, weakly armored, and with the limitations in manning guns useless against all but undefended targets.

I vote [SIZE=14]NO![/SIZE]

:lol  You made the same mistake I did.  This isn't the wishlist forum.  I think Handy was just saying "wow, these are cool."  No where does he ask they be added.

Votes invalidated . . . . :lol

I like the "land battleship" concept, but as it became easier to kill such tanks (with advancement in weaponry), their cost outweighed any benefit of having so much armament on one vehicle.

If we can't get some US Iron....

I think I would rather have the SU-85  Tank Destroyer.  :aok

We already have the T-34 lower chassie, inside positions & drivng gear. Just need to redo the upper hull and gun balistics.

The U.S. M-36 JACKSON with it's 90mm "Tiger Killer" wouldn't be missed either.  :aok

It's 90mm gun could pierce 6 inches of armor at 1000 yards or with two shots it could pierce 5 foot of concrete. Only drawback was early models had no bow machine gun and it had an open top. This was rectified in later models.

Would be easy to make the M4 SHERMAN off same model - Hull and drive are the same. Only the turret would have to be changed with a 75 or 76mm gun added. Make the M-36 a "Perk Tank."

Could have two vehicles pretty easily off the same design work. Be a HELL of a lot more useful in the game than the Jeep we got awhile back also.  ;)
