Description
Fictional Soviet heavy tank, Lieutenant Yuri Mashina - Heavy 2.

Further development of the LYM-H1 , the LYM-H2 was different compared to its predecessor thanks to a much better power plant (which required 2 wheels on each sides), and modified turrets taken which should be based on the LYM-H1 's turrets. The main turret was now housing a 122mm howitzer, based on the 122mm M-30 artillery piece. The secondary turret however, was supposed to use a completly new gun of an uncommon caliber for its time : a 60mm gun. The 45mm mod. 1938 gun had correct ballistics, but the 76mm guns had a good HE (High Explosive) shell, thus the idea came to have both at once.

However, unlike the LYM-H1 , it only passed trials half and broke down there, without the turrets since they weren't ready at this time (however, their weight had been simulated with concrete rings). And with the incoming KV-1 prototype, with only one turret, the multi-turret concept was quickly losing its interest... but this wasn't enough to stop Yuri's imagination.
