Designed since 1933-34 as replacement of T-26, T-46 was larger tank which was supposed to be better in all aspects. However, after producing of several vehicles it was found out T-46 was too complex for mass production and beside speed didnt offered any advantages over T-26, the production was stopped.
T-46 was light tank although being far larger than T-26. Surprisingly for its size, the armament was the exact as of T-26, 45mm gun. Also the armor protection was not adequate, also the same as of T-26. The fate of the produced T-46 is not very known, only that several tanks were used during battle of Moscow in static defense line.
Hot damn this is good stuff V! Nice to see what you can do!
I can, when I have mood for it :) Even just looking on the list of Soviet tanks I have before me makes me think "damn, thats too much" :D
Thanks a lot, it means a lot to me :)
