The
T-100 was a Soviet twin-turreted heavy tank prototype, designed in 1938–39 as a
possible replacement for the T-35. The T-100 was designed by N. Barykov's OKMO
design team at S.M. Kirov Factory No. 185 in Leningrad. The T-100 was
originally conceived with three turrets and was eventually built with two. It
was in competition with a similar design - the SMK - but neither were adopted
and instead a single turret version on the SMK was ordered as the KV-1. All
three prototypes were tested at the same time in the Battle of Summa.
The T-100 tank had two turrets one in front of the other requiring a long chassis. The front turret, mounting a 45 mm anti-tank gun had a limited area of fire due to the second turret behind. The second turret, mounting a 76.2 mm gun, was set taller on top of the superstructure than the first and so able to turn a full 360 degrees.
