      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.

  • @Stripedbottom
    @Stripedbottom Před 4 lety +1

    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

    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.
