Soviet Multi-turreted HT Tech Tree

[fair cloak]

After announcement of french super heavy line, suggestion about soviet multi-turreted tanks was added. I think that's a great idea, and I'll create suggestion about hypotetical soviet multi-turreted HT tree.

Starting at IV tier from T-28
V - SMK
VI - T-100
VII - T-35
VIII - KV-4 Sychev
IX - KV-4 Pereverzev
X - T-39

If they'll be considered to be added, they DESPERATELY need to get an armor buffed.

V - SMK

The SMK was an armored vehicle prototype developed by the Soviet Union prior to the Second World War. It was named after Sergei Mironovich Kirov, a Communist Party official assassinated in 1934. The SMK was discovered and classified by German intelligence as the T-35C, leading to the misunderstanding that the T-35 took part in the Winter War.

VI - T-100

The T-100 was a Soviet twin-turreted heavy tank prototype, designed in 1938–39 as a possible replacement for the T-35 heavy tank. The T-100 was designed by N. Barykov's OKMO design team at S.M. Kirov Factory No. 185 in Leningrad. The T-100 was originally conceived with three turrets and was eventually built with two. It was in competition with a similar design, the SMK, but neither was adopted and instead a single turret version of the SMK was ordered as the KV-1. All three prototypes were tested at the same time in the Battle of Summa during the Winter War with Finland.

VII - T-35

The T-35 was a Soviet multi-turreted heavy tank of the interwar period and early Second World War that saw limited service with the Red Army. Often called a "land battleship", it was the only five-turreted heavy tank in the world to reach production, but proved to be slow and mechanically unreliable. Most of the T-35 tanks still operational at the time of Operation Barbarossa were lost due to mechanical failure rather than enemy action. It was designed to complement the contemporary T-28 medium tank; however, very few were built.

VIII - KV-4 Sychev

A few months before the German invasion of the USSR, the Soviets were working on developing massive heavy tanks. One of these programs was the KV-4 projects, which included 27 different proposals. One of these was from LKZ engineer L.E. Sychev. Instead of focusing on revolutionary and unique features, he built upon and perfected the concept already tested on the SMK heavy tank. These efforts placed his design in 4th place in the KV-4 design competition.

IX - KV-4 Pereverzev

Based on rumors of German heavy tank developments, the Soviets expanded their heavy tank programs in the spring of 1941. One of these projects was that of the KV-4, which entailed a competition among several designers from the SKB-2 design bureau. One of these proposed designs came from military engineer L.N. Pereverzev, who proposed a massive 100-tonne tank, with several unique features, such as tracks returning over the entirety of the hull. For his efforts, he was awarded 7th place in the competition.

X - T-39

The T-39 tank was designed to be a breakthrough tank. With a rather ridiculous 4 turrets, and up to 90 mm of armour, the tank was even more powerful than the KV-1 and KV-2 that would follow it 6 years later. A number of options were presented. Two options were deemed the most viable, and made it as far as wooden models.

@timber vine what do you think?

[timber vine]

I like it, not sure about the T-39 but it holds its ground I like it!
would play

[hollow stone]

Honestly would like a Mult Turret Soviet Heavy Tree but I dont think this would work

IMO the T-35 shoúld be at tier 4 with the SMK at tier 5 as a multi turret competitor to the KV1 Just like IRL

The T-100 Depending on how its balanced and with historical Liberties taken could be Tier 6 in game

The T-42 would make an Ideal Tier 7 Vehicle due to its armour and 107mm Gun Leading on to the KV4 varients above

With the T-39 making the ideal Tier 10 candidate

[fair cloak]

T-42 is definitely too long for wot

[cunning garnet]

The T-39 top tier ? With only 90mm armor ?

[fair cloak]

Hmm

Instead of T-42

I could give this

[hollow stone]

Its a Concept tank so liberties could be taken I was just thinking from an Armament perspective 4x 107mm guns would make for a lot of firepower

Then again not even my proposal I was just thinking about what adjustments could be made as 1 thing for Sure the T-35 would not be a suitible Tier 7 with its crappy 76mm gun and max 35mm of all around armour as a tank that was actually produced so theres not much you can really change about it from a balance perspective

Though WG Coúld add the Fake KV6 is they just wanted to meme lol

[dull lodge]

Kv6 would be potentially wild

Has like 4 different guns and a rocket launcher on top

Even tho a fake tank could be cool to see it in game

[cunning garnet]

-a bit difficult to turn in streets, but it's ok. 😂

[hollow schooner]

I don't think having the T-35 at tier VII is a good idea, especially considering the armament. Short 76mm guns, maybe the 85mm from the T-28-85 at best

[fair cloak]

I found the perfect contender for a III tier

Object 115

In that case

T-35 would be a premium tank

Or a split like S-51

[hollow schooner]

How about the T-22?

T-35 you could also split between T-35-1 and T-35A

[fair cloak]

Grotte you say

III - Grotte Tank (T-22)
IV - T-32
V - T-35
VI - T-100

I'm thinking about USSR low tier automatic gun tech tree

[hollow schooner]

V should be the SMK

T-35 can't be very high tier because the armour is remarkably thin

35mm or so?

[cunning garnet]

ye your right

TET-100: Tier 10 RUS Special HT --- Mega evolution KV-3 with autoreloader 130mm - 3 round clip, mediocre Russian aim time - accuracy - DPM; Bulky armor with a small driver compartment "weak spot" on the hull front - strong side armor to even contest with the likes of Mausekonig or Taschenratte - elevated engine deck does negate some effectiveness of side scraping; big & slow with crap camo but average view range
