The sewers of Leningrad.
Yes, the giant 5 turret tank, not necessarily in the streets of Stalingrad, but in the outskirts or at the battle of Kursk. It's just too epic to be ignored and not in-game. I would also like to know if anyone is planning a mod with it. I mean it was flawed horribly as it suffered from mechanical failures often but... it has 5 turrets... just... just.... its a beast.

(That's a T-28 at the beginning but the rest is the T-35.) (Look at the Germans on it, they're like "Holy ****!!!")

Thoughts? Anyone willing to model it?

And paper thin armor as I recall. Be a waste to model something that wasn't really used at Stalingrad in any numbers, if at all. Of course, there is the MKB42.....

I mentioned it could be used in mods... mostly because the majority of them were lost early in the war and the ones that were left were stationed close to Moscow. The armour was 30mm thick, so yea kind of thin.

Not necessarily... we could incorporate that thing called "teamwork"


Which would mean disabling that thing called ai gunners. If you wanted to to be crewed just by players it means 11 people in one tank. As much as i like the idea of these sort of tanks (never see games that have them) there would be more value in having more common/viable in combat types.

It is an absolute POS interwar tank, which is why they never saw any use after most were destroyed or captured in 1941. With the exception of a handful of captured T-28 in Finnish use, no country was desperate enough to operate useless multiturreted tanks after the invasion of Russia because the German successes had proven that armoured fighting vehicles are best used for their mobility and invulnerability to small arms.

I can see it now... eleven players killed in one shot by a single Panzer IV. :eek:

But considering the amount of time it takes to make vehicles for this game, I think there are other vehicles which deserve those limited resources. The KV-1 and maybe even the KV-2 come to mind first. I just hope they don't do the 'S' model again, and I really hope they include the rear turret MG this time.

Looks like a Churchill Tank on 'roids lol.

But I have to agree with the other guys, it wasn't in Stalingrad in any number and it probably more trouble than it's worth.

Of course if people are planning on making mods that serious expand on WW2 as a whole, then of course add this tank because I bet it'll be a right laugh.

I really don't think this tank should be put in the game. It is useless for anything but parade duty in the real world, but in the game it will be a major pain to run into because of all it's machine-guns that will be overly effective in a gaming environment with excellent controls and spatial awareness.
