Description
Fictional Soviet heavy tank, Lieutenant Yuri Mashina - Heavy 1.
Inspired by the SMK from the same nation and category, the wide LYM serie was featuring mainly multi-turret tanks designed by lieutenant Yuri Mashina. The LYM-H1 pictured above was featuring a 85mm howitzer into the main turret (with a 7,62mm DT machine gun on its rear), as well as 45mm model 1938 gun housed into the secondary turret. This version in particular didn't have the best armour compared to its main competitors, the SMK and T-100, however it's thanks to this that it featured the best mobility among the three.
The main purpose of this tank however was not to be sent to battle, but to see how a 85mm howitzer would perform, as well as to fix the eventual problems with such multi-turret tanks. Despite not being accepted for production, it was nonetheless considered as "encouraging", and passed trials in a satisfactory way. Its components and design have been used for the later versions.
