I usually like your articles SS, but why do You even bother with tanks like these ? Multiturret /gun support is likely not to come at all. So all these turrets are actually just a useless weakspots.
Btw im not against more turrets than one in game, if it actually comes. I think easy way would be to make any additional guns / turrets rotate along with the main turret, simultaneously and shoot all at once. Ofcourse if the small turret doesnt have 360° turn degree, it would only fire up to the position in can cover, for more, you would have to turn your tank.

Didn’t the Soviets experiment with a trebuchet turret design that fired turrets? :evilgrin:

E-100 would like a word with you.
Sorta similar story with IS-7 and -8 actually.

Well it *does* seem to boast double tracks with total width about equal to the hull – oughta be enuff. I guess the idea behind having the drive wheels and the associated electric motors for each set at opposite ends of the tank is redundancy and damage control?

Tier X is older than the tier VII?

That alone makes a huge problem for trying to make it a researchable branch.

You mean the “unsprung suspension” ? Which is just a nice name for no suspension at all :3

Srsly this is the worst idea there can be, the tank would be shaking from every bump and thus damaging everything inside it.

Bearings are not a problem. They would not have to be huge at all. It just becomes a matter of distribution and mechanical engineering. Well… That and suspension design. With the Char 2C design it is on a very large number of rollers/road wheels with little movement in the suspension.

Leave the HE stuff, with 303mm of pen they can pen it’s turret from any angle without any problems.

If every 5 of these objects would shot HE, E75 would be dead in less than 30 seconds.
