T-95

I haven't been able to find any info on that, but I'll wager it's gallons per mile rather than miles per gallon.

The gun mantlet was 11½" cast armor
The hull front was 12" cast armor
The sloping sides were 2½" rolled armor @ 57½°
The side skirts were 4" plate armor
The hull sides were 6" cast armor
The roof was 1½" rolled armor
The back plate was 2" rolled armor @ 9°
The floor was 1" rolled armor

The vehicle was designed on the premise of surviving a hit from an 88 at 1000m.

It weighed 188,000 lbs combat load, and that is a ring mount for the 50cal MG over the commander's cupola.

Actually with that frontal armor it would survive even a 128mm APC hit at vene point blank range although the shock of the impact could disable the crew or create a mechanical failure in the transmission or suspension.it 's not a tank but a heavilky armores siege gun because it lacked te rotating turret and the ability of pivoting at place-or even it could but at that weight and double tracks on each side? 8O It had a very potent firepower and even a King Tiger just should bite the dust when struggling with that but only when it faces the T28 frontally :wink: The back plate could be penetrated just with anything like a gun.

But it's impressive no doubt :) but I will prefer the T32 instead of it if we talk about what ifs?
