The T95 Heavy Tank was an experimental American heavy tank project from the early Cold War era, designed to test advanced armor and firepower concepts rather than to become a production vehicle. Here’s a detailed breakdown: --- General Overview Country: United States Type: Heavy tank (experimental) Years of development: 1955–1959 Purpose: To explore advanced armor technology (particularly siliceous-core armor) and powerful armament for potential future U.S. heavy tanks. --- Design & Development Developed by Chrysler Corporation at the Detroit Arsenal. Intended to replace the M103 heavy tank or be used alongside it. Part of a program testing various turrets and gun configurations on a common chassis. Four different turret/armament configurations were built, all designated T95 but often differentiated by suffixes: T95 – 90mm T208 smoothbore gun T95E1 – 90mm T208 smoothbore, simplified turret T95E2 – M48 Patton turret with 90mm M41 rifled gun T95E3 – M48 Patton turret with 105mm T140 rifled gun T95E4 – Larger turret for the 105mm T210 smoothbore (not completed) --- Armor Used siliceous-core armor, which sandwiched a layer of fused silica (a type of glass) between steel plates. Idea: Fused silica was lighter than steel but could absorb more energy from certain types of rounds. Armor thickness: Comparable to or better than the M103 heavy tank, optimized for protection against Soviet 100–122mm guns. --- Armament Main guns tested: 90mm T208 smoothbore (high-velocity, APFSDS capable) 105mm T140 rifled 105mm T210 smoothbore (planned) Coaxial and hull-mounted 7.62mm machine guns. Early smoothbore gun designs were aimed at firing fin-stabilized rounds at very high velocities, something unusual at the time. --- Mobility Engine: Continental AOI-1195 gasoline engine (later experiments considered a diesel). Transmission: Cross-drive transmission. Speed: About 30 mph (48 km/h). Despite heavy armor, it was not excessively slow

Here’s an image of the XM551 Sheridan (also known as the M551 Sheridan) — the U.S. light tank developed during the Cold War era. --- Historical and Technical Overview Development and Role The XM551 emerged from the U.S. Army’s AR/AAV (Armored Reconnaissance/Airborne Assault Vehicle) project beginning in 1959. Prototypes were produced from 1962 to 1965, with the first entering service as the M551 Sheridan in 1967. Designed to be air-droppable, amphibious (via flotation screens), fast, and lightly armored, it fulfilled roles in reconnaissance, airborne support, and infantry accompaniment. Armament & Innovations Equipped with a distinctive 152 mm M81 gun/launcher capable of firing conventional rounds and the MGM-51 Shillelagh guided missile. It also featured secondary armament: a .50 cal M2 Browning machine gun and a coaxial 7.62 mm weapon. Mobility & Armor Powered by a Detroit Diesel 6V53T with ~300 hp, the Sheridan boasted impressive road speeds (up to ~69 km/h or 43 mph) and amphibious capability (~5.8 km/h). Armor was minimal—aluminum hull and thin steel turret—mostly vulnerable even to heavy machine-gun fire and mines. Service Record & Drawbacks Saw extensive combat in Vietnam (starting in 1969), later deployed in Europe and the Gulf War. However, it was plagued by reliability issues with its gun/missile system, combustible ammo cases, and poor survivability in the field. Produced from 1966 to 1970, about 1,600–1,700 units were built. The Sheridan was officially retired by the U.S. in 1996 without a direct successor in the airborne tank role. --- Summary Table Feature XM551 / M551 Sheridan Role Airborne & reconnaissance light tank Developed 1959 – first service in 1967 Armament 152 mm gun/missile launcher + MGs Mobility Up to ~70 km/h; amphibious capability Armor Very light; vulnerable to MGs and mines Combat Use Vietnam, Europe, Gulf War Production ~1,600–1,700 units (1966–70) Retirement 1996 --- In essence, the Sheridan was

ST-I Soviet heavy tank (sometimes seen as ST-1)—both from concept art or digital renderings. The first image showcases its design as featured in World of Tanks material, and the second is from the official Tankopedia view, giving a clearer look at the conceptual silhouette. --- ST-I (also referred to as ST-1) – Soviet Heavy Tank Concept Historical Context & Origin The ST-I was a blueprint-only heavy tank project, developed in 1945 at Factory No. 92 by engineers V. A. Ganin and A. S. Chasovnikov, using the hull of the IS-4 (Object 701) with a newly designed turret . It never progressed beyond design documents—no prototypes were ever built . Design & Innovation Some versions of the design included a double-barrel turret, intended to greatly enhance fire accuracy and rate of fire by having two main guns supported by two loaders and a rapid-feed ammunition system . Ergonomically, the ST-I featured impressive design standards for its era: standing room for loaders was about 1680 mm, higher than virtually any WWII-era tank except perhaps the Churchill . In Gaming & Popular Culture The ST-I has appeared in popular tank combat games like World of Tanks and War Thunder, where it’s depicted as a Tier IX heavy tank with detailed stats and visual representation . Despite in-game portrayals, its true historical basis remains fictional—based solely on design drafts rather than real production . --- Summary Table Feature Details Origin Blueprint, 1945, Factory No. 92 Design IS-4 hull, new turret; some drafts with dual guns Ergonomics Impressive loader compartment height Reality Never built; purely a concept Cultural Impact Featured in tank-themed video games --- In short, the ST-I—or ST-1—was a forward-thinking Soviet heavy tank concept with advanced ergonomics and firepower potential on paper but remained on the drawing board. Its presence in popular media keeps the concept alive but historically, it's a "what-if"

The FV215b (183), often nicknamed the "Death Star" by players, is a British Tier X tank destroyer in World of Tanks Blitz (and the PC version of World of Tanks before it was replaced). Here's a detailed overview: --- ? General Overview: Nation: United Kingdom Type: Tank Destroyer Tier: X Nickname: "Death Star" --- ? Historical Background: The FV215b (183) was a conceptual design in the post-WWII era. It was intended to mount a 183 mm L4 gun, the largest and most powerful gun ever mounted on a tank chassis. However, it never entered production and remained a blueprint project. In the game, it's an iconic vehicle because of its devastating alpha strike. --- ? In-Game Characteristics (WoT Blitz): ? Firepower: Main Gun: 183 mm L4A1 Alpha Damage: HE: 930+ (can go over 1000 with a full pen) HESH (premium): ~930 damage with very high penetration AP: ~640 damage Penetration: AP: ~310 mm HESH: ~275 mm (premium shell with high damage but needs weakspots) Reload Time: ~20-25 seconds (depends on equipment and crew) Accuracy: Below average (poor aim time and dispersion) Shell Velocity: Very slow for HESH > ? Strength: Massive one-shot potential, especially with HESH ? Weakness: Long reload and unreliable accuracy --- ?? Armor: Hull Armor: Moderate; not very reliable Turret Armor: Thick in some areas, especially the mantlet, but has large weakspots Cupolas: Weak and easily targeted > ? Playstyle Tip: Use hull-down positions and cover while reloading --- ? Mobility: Top Speed: ~34 km/h Power-to-Weight Ratio: Poor Traverse: Sluggish > ?? Not mobile – best played from a support/sniping position --- ?? Gameplay Style: The FV215b 183 is a "boomstick" support TD — it's not a frontliner but excels at ambushing or punishing enemies with massive single-shot damage. You’ll want to: Stay behind the frontlines Peek, fire, and hide while reloading Target lightly armored tanks or sides for HESH Use terrain to conceal your weak tur

The KV-4 was a Soviet super-heavy tank project from 1941, intended as a much larger and more powerful successor to the KV-1 and KV-3. It never left the design stage but is notable for spawning over 20 unique design proposals—some of the most ambitious armored vehicle concepts of WWII. --- ? General Overview Name: KV-4 (Object 224) Country: Soviet Union Type: Super-heavy tank (paper project) Era: Early World War II (1941) Status: Cancelled before prototype stage Design Bureau: Kirov Factory (Leningrad) --- ? Purpose and Context In early 1941, Soviet intelligence learned of German heavy tank developments, such as the Tiger. In response, the Soviet High Command ordered the development of an extremely heavily armored breakthrough tank with a powerful gun. KV-4 was intended to dominate the battlefield and counter any potential German threats. --- ? Design Competition Unusually, the KV-4 wasn’t assigned to a single designer. A design competition was held among engineers at the Kirov Plant, resulting in over 20 distinct KV-4 designs. Designs varied dramatically in size, layout, and armament. --- ? General Specifications (varied by proposal) Feature Range of Concepts Weight 85 to 100+ tons (estimates) Armor Thickness Up to 130–150 mm (frontal) Main Armament Typically a 107 mm ZiS-6 gun Secondary Armament 45 mm gun, 76.2 mm gun, MGs depending on design Engine Supercharged V-2 variants (~1200 hp proposed) Speed ~20–30 km/h (theoretical) Crew 6 to 9 (depending on design) Many KV-4 designs featured: Multiple turrets (up to 2–3) Casemate-style superstructures or traditional turrets Extremely thick armor for the era Emphasis on firepower over mobility --- ? Why It Was Cancelled Operation Barbarossa (June 1941) forced an immediate halt to experimental projects. The Soviet Union had to prioritize mass production of practical tanks like the T-34 and KV-1. The KV-3 project (also cancelled) was already more feasible than KV-4. No prototy

The KV-3 was a Soviet heavy tank project developed during World War II. It was intended to be a more heavily armed and armored successor to the KV-1 and KV-2, but the project was ultimately cancelled before mass production due to shifting wartime priorities and the German invasion in 1941. --- ? General Overview Name: KV-3 (Object 150) Country: Soviet Union Type: Heavy tank (prototype) Era: Early World War II Designer: Kirov Factory, Leningrad Status: Cancelled (never completed) --- ? Design Purpose The KV-3 was designed as part of a series of upgrades to the Klim Voroshilov (KV) heavy tank line. It was meant to: Counter new German heavy tanks that were anticipated in the early 1940s. Serve as a superior breakthrough tank with high armor protection and powerful armament. Eventually become the standard Soviet heavy tank. --- ? Specifications (Planned / Estimated) Feature Details Weight ~68–70 tons (estimated) Armor Thickness Up to 120 mm (frontal) Main Armament 107 mm ZiS-6 gun (planned) Secondary Armament 3 x 7.62 mm DT machine guns Engine V-2SN (supercharged diesel, ~1200 hp planned) Speed ~35 km/h (estimated) Crew 5–6 --- ? Development History Initially conceived in 1940 as part of the KV-1 upgrade program. Multiple variants of KV tanks were being developed in parallel: KV-1 (standard) KV-2 (armed with 152 mm howitzer) KV-3, KV-4, and KV-5 (experimental super-heavy concepts) The KV-3 was selected as the most realistic of the heavy tank upgrades. Timeline: March 1941: Development orders placed. June 1941: Project was disrupted by Operation Barbarossa (German invasion). The Kirov Factory was evacuated from Leningrad to Chelyabinsk ("Tankograd"). Project was cancelled due to shifting needs toward faster and more practical tank production like the T-34 and simplified KV-1 variants. --- ? Why It Was Cancelled The 107 mm ZiS-6 gun was never put into mass production. The tank was too large and complex to be easily produced

The FV4005 Stage II was a British experimental tank destroyer developed in the 1950s, known for mounting an extremely large gun on a modified Centurion tank chassis. Here's a breakdown of the key details: --- ? General Overview Name: FV4005 Stage II Country of Origin: United Kingdom Type: Self-propelled gun / Tank destroyer (prototype) Era: Post-WWII (1950s) Status: Prototype only; not mass-produced --- ? Design and Purpose The FV4005 was designed to counter heavily armored Soviet tanks, particularly the IS-3, which emerged after WWII. The project aimed to mount a 183 mm gun, the largest ever fitted to a tank at the time, to deliver a single, devastating blow. --- ? Specifications Feature Details Chassis Based on Centurion Mk 3 Main Armament 183 mm L4 gun (very large caliber, firing HESH shells) Ammunition Limited due to shell size; HESH (High-Explosive Squash Head) was the main shell type Turret Large, boxy, and open-topped (Stage II version); Stage I had a fully enclosed turret Armor Very light on the turret; not intended to take hits Crew 4 (Commander, Gunner, Loader, Driver) Mobility Similar to Centurion; decent for the era Speed ~30 km/h (on road) --- ? Development Stages Stage I: Enclosed turret with the 183 mm gun. Stage II: Open-topped turret, focusing on simplified construction and reduced weight. Only one prototype of the Stage II is known to have been built. --- ? Why It Was Abandoned The concept of very large caliber, low-rate-of-fire tank destroyers was becoming obsolete. Emergence of more mobile and versatile main battle tanks (like improved Centurions and future Chieftains). The gun’s slow rate of fire, large size, and vulnerability (due to light armor) made it impractical for modern combat. --- ? Current Status The only surviving FV4005 Stage II is preserved at The Tank Museum, Bovington (UK). --- ? Legacy While never fielded, the FV4005 represents a fascinating "what if" in armored warfare history. It's

The KV-2 is a Soviet heavy assault tank developed and used during World War II. It is a variant of the KV series (named after Kliment Voroshilov, a prominent Soviet military commander) and is particularly famous for its large, boxy turret and massive gun. Here's a detailed overview: --- ? Basic Information: Name: KV-2 (Kliment Voroshilov model 2) Type: Heavy assault tank Country of Origin: Soviet Union Service Period: 1940–1945 (primarily early WWII) Number Built: Around 334 --- ? Key Features: Feature Details Weight ~52 tons Armor Thickness Up to 75 mm Main Armament 152 mm M-10 howitzer Secondary Armament 3 × 7.62 mm DT machine guns Crew 6 (commander, gunner, loader, driver, radio operator, assistant loader) Engine V-2K 12-cylinder diesel, 600 hp Top Speed ~25–30 km/h (on roads) Operational Range ~150–200 km --- ? Design and Purpose: Designed to destroy fortified positions, bunkers, and enemy strongpoints. Mounted a 152 mm howitzer, one of the largest tank-mounted guns of the time. The gun gave it immense firepower, but made the turret very heavy and the tank mechanically unreliable. The high silhouette and slow traverse turret made it vulnerable in tank-to-tank combat. --- ? Combat History: First saw action in the Winter War (1939–1940) and early stages of Operation Barbarossa (1941). Was initially effective against German tanks and fortifications. However, suffered from mobility, mechanical reliability, and turret rotation issues due to the weight of the gun and turret. Many were lost due to breakdowns, getting stuck, or lack of fuel rather than enemy fire. --- ? Legacy: The KV-2 became an iconic symbol of Soviet armored might, especially due to its intimidating size. German troops referred to it as a "monster" and initially had trouble defeating it with standard anti-tank weapons. It was eventually phased out in favor of more balanced designs like the IS-series tanks. --- ? In Popular Culture: Frequently featured in
