T-35 - Soviet 5-Turret Land Battleship

[@SeanJohnson-qm4pu]

This is like a tank I would have drawn as a kid in elementary school.

[@Charlesputnam-bn9zy]

Yeah, and double-barrelled guns per turret.

[@wisdomleader85]

In Soviet Russia, tanks drive you, comrade.

You can have lots of guns or lots of armour but not both. And we are having a special on guns. Guns it is then.😄

@@bigblue6917 Needs more powerful Engine to be able to go at average Tank speed. Especially if you're going to choose both Firepower and Armour. Not to mention you're gonna need LOTS of money for that.

It's nice to see the Russian folks at Kubinka got their T-35 running again - quite an impressive looking tank!

[@mrdoge9508]

The fact that he said "World of Tanks" and "Realistic" in the same sentence is amazing.

[@johncostello2948]

The thing looked like it could have really done something, what with five turrets and all. Turned out to be a joke in actual combat. Would make a fun scale model to build though.

[@chrisnelmes7180]

There is a 1/35 scale kit. It's a nice build, needs a little extra work though.

[@paulallen8109]

It probably would have been ideal in a WW1 type of battlefield where it would have to deal with pillboxes and soldiers in trenches. Unfortunately by the late 1930's such a battlefield wasn't going to happen anymore and tanks had to be primarily designed to deal with other tanks first and foremost.

[@oveidasinclair982]

Never heard of this tank before, but now I'll never forget it, many thanks Mark for a vary insightful video.

The United States supplied 4,102 M4 Sherman medium tanks to the Soviet Red Army through Lend-Lease during World War II. Mark, could you do a video on these Shermans?

[@richardm3023]

When you build a special combination of unreliable, slow, thinly armored, and shot traps everywhere. Couple all that with the NKVD behind you ready to shoot you down, and it's just so many ways to die for the Rodina.

Two prototypes of the spg version were built on the T-35 chassis , the SU-14 (scrapped in 1960 open version ) & SU-14-2 who's displayed at Kubinka together with the only remaining complete T-35 today . I wonder how the smaller Medium but also multi-turreted T-28 fared against German armor , i guess equally as bad ...

[@MGBandit75]

Great video! Wow i didn’t know there’s still a t 35 left today.

[@TheRAFlemingsMr]

Good stuff, Thank You. Its kind of funny that everybody was going for "Bigger is Better" but it was the massive numbers of American medium tanks that overwhelmed the advisories. Not saying the Sherman was a superior tank; just simple, easy to build, fast to get off the production line and that meant vast numbers could be built then shipped to Europe and the Pacific. Wouldn't have wanted to serve in a "Ronson" but God bless all that did. True heroes.

[@Stripedbottom]

The main gripe with these - like most heavy tanks until late war - was not the thin armor, weak armament, awkward general arrangement and amazingly low cost efficiency, but their general inability to get from A to B with any reliability even under peaceful conditions, let alone on the battlefield. In the case of the T-35 though, those two 45mm tank guns and the 76.2mm howitzer can really hurt the germans, given chance. Therefore, as a Soviet commander I wouldn't even have tried to fight them as tanks; I would have had 48 T-35-sized holes dug at crossroads and other strategic points, broadside-on to the expected enemy advance. If each one could have delayed the german spearheads for even a couple of hours on the average, that would have been a full 4 days lost to the Wehrmacht, which in June/July 1941 would have been a massive advantage. Leave the actual tank-fighting to the T-26s and BT-7s, in support of the static T-35s. Then again, as a Soviet commander I would have been shot for such a defeatist move, LOL

[@MrGeoffHilton]

I love the colour film footage, gives me a feeling of almost being there.

[@spencereagle1118]

[@3AMJH]

It's a fun tank to play in War Thunder RB. Very unpractical, and it often gets ammo racked or bombed, but when it works out it's cool being this huge, lumbering battleship of death. Same with the German Neubaufahrzeug. Also, had no idea that the Germans actually used one as a command vehicle.

[@petter5721]

It's seem often the case in military design that the mantra "make it bigger" clearly indicates the lack of innovation.

[@r2gelfand]

This is an excellent video, thank you very much. I do have a suggestion for another video or series of videos. After Italy capitulated to the Allies in World War II many italian Airmen continued to usetheir airplanes on the axis side. It would be interesting to learn of their fate their successes and also what aircraft they used and the Livery of their aircraft, as well as which Italian aircraft we're pressed into luftwaffe service.

[@jerankorak7997]

The irony of his sponsorship is very real. In-game, the T-35 is an incredible tank for its tier (4). It's very fast and has a top gun that can lay down extremely accurate, long range fire that can easily out-DPS most opponents. It still has terrible armor and poor camouflage values, but it's a tremendous sniper that a good player can use to dominate the battlefield with.

@@XMysticHerox I guess alot of it came from ww1. The British still thought of tanks as infantry support rather than a force in it's own right.
