Soviet Monster At 1.3 // T-35 // War Thunder

Introduced to War Thunder in Update 1.43 as an rank I addition to the Soviet ground tech tree, the T-35 possesses a crew of 10, allowing for surviving a few shots that would otherwise be lethal for other vehicles. Unfortunately, the T-35's main gun is a low velocity KT-28 howitzer. The gun itself has problems penetrating most of its opponents, so using the front turret mounted 45 mm 20-K cannon is advised instead. The 45 mm 20-K is able to pierce up to 58 mm of armour using its BR-243 APHEBC shell, which is sufficient for most opponents. Despite being a heavy tank, the T-35 is protected only by 30 mm thin armour from front, 23 mm on the sides and 20 mm at the rear, making the tank vulnerable to even 12.7 mm machine gun fire. The T-35 is also powered by a very weak engine, resulting in very poor manoeuvrability especially in urban areas and a top speed of only 28 km/h.

The T-35 was one of many interwar period multi-turreted tanks built by various countries. Unfortunately, usage of multiple turrets proved worse in combat than using just a single, so such tanks were abandoned. The T-35 was the first and only five-turreted tank in the world. Designed in the 1930s, the T-35 was basically an enlarged T-28 multi-turreted medium tank with a crew of ten instead of six. Unfortunately, the T-35 was plagued with mechanical problems and failures, such as weak engine, cramped crew compartments, and thin armour of up to only 30 mm. Only 59 were produced between 1934 and 1939. Last combat usage was recorded during the Battle of Kharkov in 1941. A single example has survived until today, and is now located in Kubinka tank museum, in running condition.
