About this vehicle

A British project for a heavy tank with a twin gun featuring a selective fire modes system. The idea for the vehicle came in response to the U.S.S.R.'s development of the T-10 heavy tank. The design implied increasing the crew to five members and significantly enhancing the armor. However, this meant a significant increase in the tank's combat weight and so work on the vehicle was soon stopped.
