I actually started work on a 3D model of this when I saw it on a Russian site about a year ago. I dropped it after I realized how badly I had messed up the suspension bogies (I made them more like what is on the lt vz 35).

Don’t forget inability to see the ground immediately in front of the vehicle and the cabin doing a mighty fine job blocking the *commander’s* field of view – I’m slightly surprised the designers didn’t propose to rectify that by moving him into the cabin too.

Not really seeing how this thing would be particularly useful in streetfighting though – the main weaponry isn’t exactly high-angle and the cabin just has a forward-facing MG. Expect Molotovs and satchel charges onto the engine deck as usual more like.

ok, it looks hideous and dumb and wouldn’t improve the capability of the driver in tank-vs-tank combat. I don’t think the driver could see much through his slits while driving over rough terrain, and he would be seasick all times.

but as an infantery-support in urban environments .. hmm.. enough armour against antitank-rifles and a superb view, like max-zoom-out in WoT;)

Idk, the central colums seems to have an opening on its right side – probably what the driver was supposed to use to get into his position in the first place. Doubly so as the sole access hatch in the thing seems to be the one at the back of the turret.

This probably is refferable to many of existing WOT tanks already, but in this case, when driver is dead, no one from the left alive crew members could replace him, as that drivers compartment is seperated from other crewmembers.
So the whine should be not only about dead driver but about immobile tank too. =D

While moving a driver into a tank’s turret doesn’t seem like a terrible idea, the driver needs some sort of stabilized seat and controls otherwise it creates more problems than it solves. Driving this tank would be a nightmare if the turret wasn’t facing directly forward and close to impossible if the turret was facing sideways.

Edit: Oh, wait. The cabin didn’t turn with the turret thanks to being placed on the column, right?
