LTS-85 (USSR, LT-8, premium). Changes regarding the second iteration of the supertest.
Historical reference
By the mid-1960s, the firepower and armor protection of the PT-76, the only amphibious tank in service with the USSR Armed Forces, was no longer enough. In this regard, a project of a floating tank with more powerful weapons and armor appeared. It was supposed to arm the vehicle with an 85 or 100 mm gun with an automatic loader, which would reduce the number of crew members to three and increase the rate of fire. Work on this machine did not go beyond sketches and preliminary calculations.
• Added a short description:
Excellent mobility, high one-time damage
• Added a detailed description:
Good visibility and excellent mobility dictate the role of an active scout, while a powerful 100mm gun with high burst damage allows you to both effectively support allied medium tanks and make a significant contribution to victory on your own. However, it is worth remembering: due to the large dimensions, the car is far from the best disguise.
Firepower:
