Can any one tell me what this is? Proper credit http://www.ww2archive.net/img1112.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

t-35A a t-35 multi turret with conical type turrets replacing the older flat sided turrets to try and improve a very poor(yet very cool looking) combat vehicle

Thanks for the information,would you know if this was deployed in any strength or did someone figure out it was impractical? Sax

The T35 was certainly used in some numbers during the first part of operation Barbarossa. I think the 68th tank regiment operated 3 companies of them in June 1941. Very cool looking tanks (great for a scratch build project ) but they were thinly armoured and easily knocked out.
Another type of multi-turreted design used by the Russians was the slightly smaller T28.

t-28 was more sucsessful the t-35 was a real nice propaganda tank but outside that it was over-heavy,under armoured,over complex,under powered and slow still must have been something special to see this tank open fire with 7 mgs and 2 anti tank and 1 heavy gun

a real "landship" thats what makes the multi turrets so appealing

easiset multi turret for a scratchbuild would be the SMK prototype as it uses the same running gear as the kv series

Excellent guy's,my knowledge of Russian Armor is very limited.I am tying to learn more about the types and where used.Also why did we ship so many Sherman's to the Russians? I have not seen the numbers of T34'S OR Sherman's in Russian service,does anyone have a link?Saxondog
