    If it is not the FT-17, could it be the fascine-carrying FT-18?

    You are a tricky one Roel. :D

    Zhukov has it! This is the FT-18, of which the characteristic feature was the cast turret.

    Yes, I like to make it somewhat contrary to expectation...

    Good one. The gun looks like the Russian 203mm, but I have never heard of this tank before.

    It's a Su-7 (but it could be 8, 9 or 10 :D Ok, somewhere between 1 and 12 :roll: ) All my tank books are back at the flat and I'm not there until Sunday.
    Most definitely a B-3 203mm barrel and T-35 chassis though.

    It is Russian, the gun is a 203mm howitzer, and the chassis is that of T-35, but it is not the SU-7 (which I thought was armed with a 254mm gun(?)).

    Oli, you are very close, but I would not limit myself to SU types one thorugh twelve. :D

    Rats. Okay, somewhere between Su-13 and Su-10^83 :D
    Just to be awkward then I'll say Su-14.

    PS just checked (after I'd decided) and Wiki says it's a 152mm gun... strange.
    Okay, just looked at B-3, B-4 and Br-2 and apart from calibre they all appear very similar. And http://www.wwiivehicles.com/ussr/tanks_heavy/t35.html
    says that the chassis was used for B-2 (203mm) and Br-2 (152mm) guns, depending upon subvariant.
    And the Su-7 was the same chassis with "254 mm cannon, 305 mm howitzer, or 400 mm mortar".

    Oli, it is indeed the SU-14 (although I would have taken SU-100000000000000000000000000000000000000000
    000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

    000000000000 as well). :D

    Your game good sir.
