Hey everyone, today I want to talk about all the T-35 variants (including the SU-14).

So let's begin! :popcorn:

Now to get this clear, the T-35-1 and 2 are not T-35's. I know it sounds weird, but the actual T-35A has the same layout as the T-35-1 and 2, but other then that they are considered different tanks. They simply share the same name.

 

T-35-1

Spoiler

This is the first T-35 to be produced. It had a round shaped main turret with a 76.2mm PS-3 gun and four smaller turrets. Two of wich had a 37mm PS-2 guns, and the other two DT-29 machineguns.

Something the T-35-1 and 2 have that makes them stand out from the T-35A, is the angled front hull armour and driver hatches.

T-35-2

Spoiler

This one mounted the more familiar main turret that you see can see on other Russian tanks to. And it received a different engine.

Other then that the weapons remained the same.

T-35A Model 1935

Spoiler

This is the T-35 we all know and love (or hate). It's the same tank we have ingame right now.

I feel like there is not much to talk about, just test drive it yourself and see how it performs!

T-35A Model 1938 (234-42)

Spoiler

This name is not a variant of the T-35. It's the serial number of a T-35.

This one was part of a plan to upgrade/modernise the T-35. It's front hull armour was increased from 20mm to 30mm.

And the biggest difference is the complete redesign of the turrets. They all recieved 30mm of armour that was on a slight angle, thus making the turrets stronger.

T-35A Model 1938 (234-64)

Spoiler

This was part of the last T-35’s to be produced. The only changes it recieved where redesigned skirts, new escape hatches and the removal of the machinegun mounted on the back of the main turret.

T-35B

Spoiler

This was an attempt to upgrade the engine of the T-35 to either a BD-1 (400 hp) and a BD-2 (700 hp).

The BD-2A was chosen for tests, but the engine was never mouted on a T-35 and nothing became of the project.

 

There are no images of this. Plus there wouldn't be any visual difference.

 

SU-14

Spoiler

This was a heavy self-propelled gun based on the chassis of the T-35. Altough they where planned to go into production, this never happend.

The existing prototypes later took part in the defense of Moscow in 1941 alongside the prototype SU-100Y.

The first prototype carried a 203mm M1931 howitzer.

Spoiler

This is pretty much the SU-14 but then armed with a 152mm M1935.

SU-14-2

Spoiler

The existing SU-14-1's where later uparmoured, giving it the look of a big tank destroyer.

I know it's old but.. huh would it be possible for later variants to be added into the game?

 

Sure, but only through Suggestions. There might be some in the relevant section of Passed for Consideration. Worth a look.

 

Maybe a future BP 1st reward. UK and US had theirs, so someone else in Season 3 I presume.

There is a suggestion for the later model already made actually.
