    Even as am American I have to admit that tank is a work of art in both looks and protection. Gorgeous tank.

    "Fire the rear facing guns!"
    -"Why, sir?"
    -"Some cowards started running when they saw our driver trying to hit stuff with the front facing guns! They think we've lost control!"
    -"Well, we did lose control... While our driver is having the time of his life."

      And it was probably requested by people who fought in Berlin, and had some experience with driving a tank through the wall (gun facing back) and finding lots of Germans on the other side.

    The rear firing machine guns on the turret would do a fine job of encouraging the acompaing infantry by making to the rear of the tank more dangerous than being along side. A very USSR like feature.

    It is a heavy breakthrough tank, I know, but with all those wacky external machine guns I'm seeing a weird, retro nod to the much more lightly armoured (and already long descredited) Independent Tank/T28 concept. Maybe they just got carried away with the prototypes and the extra mgs would have been left off had it ever gone into full production.

    i think you were overthinking the fixed machine guns, for instance if a tank commander saw infantry approach the tank he could tell the driver to pivot in place and do a 360 firing the machine gun, the same with the turret guns to make the infantry back off from the tank, i just don't see the explanation you were saying, the driver juking the tank back and forth. pull a donut and fire while doing it, kind of like Russian subs doing crazy ivans but in a tank.
