@@tonk4866 KV-6 This vehicle was a flamethrower variant. At least four were used in the battle of Leningrad. It is not to be confused with the fictional KV-VI super heavy tank, built by modeler Brian Fowler in 1995. KV-8 (102) - A KV-1 fitted with the ATO-41 flamethrower in the turret, beside a machine gun.[citation needed] In order to accommodate the new weapon, the 76.2 mm gun was replaced with a smaller 45 mm gun M1932, though it was disguised to look like the standard 76 mm (the cannon was placed inside a 76 mm tube). KV-8S (35) - The same as KV-8 but based on KV-1S. Equipped with ATO-42 flamethrower (improved version of ATO-41).[28] The smaller turret of the KV-1S caused space limitations, so 25 of the KV-8S had the original KV-8 turret mated to the KV-1S hull, while the remaining 10 had a KV-1S turret with ATO-42 flamethrower but lacked the coaxial machine gun. KV-8M - Upgraded version of KV-8S. Equipped with two flamethrowers. Two prototypes were constructed.

The difference is that someone actually considered the Ratte, while this "KV-6" is 100% fake.

[@promptedleek4829]

it gets worse. apparently there was on idea/plan to put the 800mm railway artillary gun on the ratte and would weigh in a low 1500 tons

[@DIREWOLFx75]

@@promptedleek4829 Nah, the version with the SUPERBIG gun was estimated to be even heavier. Because the Schwerer Gustav 80cm railway cannon already weighed in at 1350 ton. That's with zero armor, zero propulsion, zero nothing beyond minimal requirements as a railroad mobile cannon lavette. The "1000" in the name is actually the estimated weight in tons. But same as with the E-series tanks being developed, there was quite some variation. The E-50 for example would likely have been in the 60-70t range if serialproduced.

[@identity7536]

the P1000 ratte was never seriously considered. the plans were never really finalized at all. it was more of a pet project of the designers that had alot of nonesense in it. the plans they found likely were a fanatasy tank project to keep the nerves calm while the front came closer to the designers. the "Monstrum" was a made up thing by modern communities. the ratte was later further thought through after the war when people loved the crazy idea and made to somewhat work interanlly atleast. THE RATTE WAS NOT A REAL SERIOUS PROJECT EVER. the Military back then HAD plans past the maus and E-100 but those where very different. they were the so called "E-Serie Panzer" basically the E-100 would have been the heavy with an E-75 as a medium and an E-50 as an SPG / Panzerjäger / Jagdpanzer

[@mihailmorozov3456]

I am from Russia and have to disappoint the audience a little - this “project” is a sketch, of which there were many. Stalin did not oversee such madness, moreover, when he was shown a prototype of a self-propelled artillery unit based on the KV, which had 2 45mm cannons or 2 76mm cannons, Stalin was sincerely surprised and said “why two guns? We need one gun, but a good gun!” This is how the Su-152 with a 152mm gun appeared. Stalin was a very competent person and would never have approved such techno-blunders even in the project. 1 april jokes is good but... millions beleives in flat earth or UFO, millions can to beleive in this )

If this The tank idea was split into three tank types then have them move as groups of three would have worked, first tank for anti personal and anti air, second tank with artillery capabilities The third tank being heavy armor and heavy weaponry with two sub turrets each on the side of the tank to convey protections which is used for main attacking tank and trench defense/offense tank each over lapping their specializations to point they are jack of all master of all type force. For this standard tank teams are one of each tank and if they need more tanks of type they just group multiple 3 tank teams teams or have options to change team ratios. Maybe even other tank types would be added to the team groups
