Yeah, reminds me more of the T-100 with the double turret. Are both on the centreline of the vehicle? And does the rear cupola have full rotation? or just 200, or so degrees?
Minus any questions, I do love this.

Aye, all the guns are mounted along the centerline. The rear cupola is limited to about ~200 degrees of rotation in order to prevent any accidental discharges into central turret. Questions are always appreciated.
It's still a work in progress; I realized the tailgun lacks significant depression (which would limit its effectiveness against enemy infantry at close range), so I've been attempting to remedy that.

Maybe try the Japanese approach, with the turret in the very tail of the tank. a-la en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_95_…

Well I need room for an engine back there, and while the Type 95 Heavy obviously pulled it off somehow, I can't find any cutaway diagrams of it. It seems like the rearmost gunner would either be all up on the engine or completely isolated from the rest of the crew, and neither of those sound ideal.

Perhaps a split (double) engine setup with a crawlspace between leading to the rearmost turret?

Maybe, I'll keep playing around with it. I've got four or five variants and derivitives sitting around at the moment.

The T-28 was one source of inspiration, as was the heavier T-35 and T-100.
