== Description ==

[[File:GarageImage_{{PAGENAME}}.jpg|420px|thumb|left]]

The '''{{specs|name}}''' is a premium Rank {{specs|rank}} Russian heavy tank {{Battle-rating|1}}. It was introduced in Update 1.43. The T-35 has the distinction in-game as the vehicle with the most crew members (10 total). While the armour may not provide great protection against enemies even at Rank I, the large crew count makes up in part for the tank's survivability in combat.

The T-35 is ''large''. It has five turrets on top too, but only three should be taken into consideration, the one in the middle, the one front right from middle, and the one bottom left from middle due to the armaments able to destroy tanks. However, don't be deceived by its size, the T-35's armour are barely more than 30 mm thick, so even with a Rank I standard gun, you may be able to penetrate its armour.

Despite the huge ammo reserve for the secondary turrets, the total ammo is split between the two turrets. This means that if one 45 mm cannon fires more than the other, it will run out and be unable to fire until resupplied.

The T-35 is the largest tank among the Rank I vehicles. With a multi-turreted platform of two 45 mm cannons and one 76.2 mm cannon, the tank could combat enemies at an almost 360° angle. However, the armour is quite thin for a vehicle of its size so one should not play this vehicle like a typical heavy tank later down the rank. Though, the speed is decent for a vehicle of its size, so it is possible to catch the enemies off guard by attacking from an area they least expect.

== Usage in battles ==


The T-35 is nothing short of an absolute beast, being able to take more penetrating hits than any tank at 1.3 and beyond. With great survivability, firepower and size, the T-35 is the '''perfect''' tank to lead an assault, a good T-35 can change the outcome of a game with no problem.'

=== Pros and cons ===

'''Pros:'''

*No less than 3 cannons
*Can fire to the rear
*High rate of fire
*Ammunition Capacity
*Complex armour structure creates many shot traps
*Large frame which often can absorb more modular/crew damage than most other tanks
*Crew of 10 makes it an almost impossible target to completely destroy without an experienced player at the wheel
*Slowness and heaviness means that firing on the move is not a problem
*KT-28 cannon kills anything it penetrates with a single hit no matter where you shoot 9/10 of the time

'''Cons:'''

*Slow
*Poor maneuverability
*largest target currently among the ground forces
*Poorly armoured
*Possible to run out of ammo for one secondary turret if used too long.
*Very long, can get stuck into difficult situations in close quarters
*Tall, and with poor gun depression
*Poor placement of ammunition when carrying large amounts

== History ==


===Development===
The '''T-35''' concept began from the OKMO design bureau of the Bolshevik Factory in 1930, when work began on a heavy tank. Two teams were made for two competing designs, one was headed by German engineer Grotte and the other was headed by N. Tsiets. Grotte worked on a 100-ton four-turreted TG-5 tank, armed with a 107 mm naval gun, using pneumatic servo-controls and suspension, but this was cancelled. N. Tsiets worked on a design that may be inspired by the British tank design Vickers A1E1 Independent, which is a multi-turret tank using one main turret with a gun and smaller ones housing machine guns. This tank may also be the inspiration for the Soviet [[T-28|T-28 medium tank]].

The development was completed with a prototype by July 1932. The prototype was about 35 tons, had a 76.2 mm main gun and four smaller turrets around it, two with a 37 mm gun and two with machine guns. There were many defects with the transmission design and the design was considered too complex for the manufacturing process, plus it was expensive. Work stopped for a simpler prototype to be produced. This simpler version had a new engine, gearbox, and an improved transmission over the previous prototype. A standardization on the turrets between the prototype and that on the T-28 medium tank was utilized so the small machine gun turret are the same between the two designs, the main gun turret was also nearly identical, but the one on the T-28 has a rear-facing machine gun. The design was approved for production on August 11, 1933 and was produced at the Kharkov Locomotive Factory with about 20 units produced.

The tank was upgraded again from experiences of the two prototypes, the chassis was made longer, the hull redesigned, and 45 mm gun turrets from the [[BT-5|BT-5 light tanks]] used instead of a 37 mm gun. This was designated the T-35 Model 1935 and started production on 1935 and had 35 units built by 1938, with small improvements made throughout its production life. A final redesign made in 1938 had new turrets with sloping armour installed and modified side skirts for protecting the idler wheel, six of these Model 1938s were produced. The total production run from 1933 to 1938 produced a total of 61 T-35s for the Soviet Union, its high cost being the deciding factor that ended its production. A variant produced from the chassis was a self-propelled artillery mount called the ''SU-14'', but only two were made and never reached production stages.

===Design===
The T-35 is the only five-turreted tank to ever enter production. The main turret in the center and mounted high is equipped with a 76 mm KT-28 cannon, two secondary turrets mounted front right and back left had a 45 mm 20-K gun, and two more secondary turrets on the front left and back right had a 7.62 mm machine gun. Despite being a rather large tank, the interior was quite constricted for its crew. The crew of 11-12 men were crammed together and this directly affected their combat efficiency. The crew layout was a compartment for the driver, each machine gun turret had one man, two man in the turret with 45 mm guns, and three man in the main turret. It was typical for a couple crewman to serve outside the tank. A senior driver was responsible for the transmission and running gear. While a mechanic overlooked and took care of the engine. Construction of the T-35s armour was a mix of welds and rivets. The tank was powered by a 12-Cylinder Mikulin M-17M engine generating nearly 500 hp and was considered under-powered. The design had many reliability issues and even flaws, such as the main turret able to render escape hatches on the smaller turrets unable to be opened due to its gun mount.

===Combat usage===
The T-35 was issued to the 5th Separate Heavy Tank Brigade in Moscow and was involved in parades through the Red Square from 1935 until 1940. The T-35 was there to impress spectators as well as foreign observers rather than as a fighting piece. In June 1940, the T-35 was subjected to either be withdrawn from front-line duties, be converted into self-propelled artillery, or be sent to military academies for future studies. It was decided to keep them for combat purposes and the T-35s were issued to the 67th and 68th Tank Regiments in the 34th Tank Division in the 8th Mechanized Corps in the Kiev Special Military District. The T-35 then saw action against the German forces when Operation Barbarossa was commenced. Though the tanks actual combat history is not very well documented, the tank regiments they were assigned to reported a loss of 90% of the vehicles, more to mechanical failures than to enemy combat. These broken down tanks were subsequently destroyed by their crews to avoid capture. The last reported use of these tanks was during the Battle of Moscow, where two T-35s were deployed and its performance went unrecorded. One such vehicle was captured by the Germans and sent to the Kummersdorf military proving grounds for evaluations. This captured T-35 may or may not be the same one the German used during the Battle of Berlin in April 1945.

The T-35 was once mistaken for taking part in the Winter War against Finland, this is due to the deployment of the [[SMK]], T-100s, and [[KV-1 (L-11)|KV-1s]] prototypes into the battle as combat testing. The SMK was disabled by the Finnish and was documented in photographs, which the German intelligence designated it as the ''T-35C'', despite being not any way related to the T-35 tank.

===Survivors===
Today, only one T-35 is left not only in an intact state, but still in running condition. This tank is held in the Kubinka Tank Museum at Moscow and only survived because it was used at a training facility rather than combat use. Kubinka also holds the second prototype of the aforementioned SU-14 self-propelled artillery gun.

{{Specs-Card|code=ussr_t_26_1940}}

== Description ==

[[File:GarageImage_T-26.jpg|420px|thumb|left]]
{{break}}
The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a reserve rank {{specs|rank}} Soviet light tank {{Battle-rating|1}}. It was introduced in during the Closed Beta Test for Ground Forces before Update 1.41. It is a tiny tank with rather thin armour, but with a heavy hitting [[20-K (45 mm)|45 mm cannon]] that can devastate most enemies at its battle rating.

This is the Soviet starter tank, unlike its German counterpart, the [[Pz.II C|PzKpfw II Ausf.C]], it has a single-shot cannon, that makes it more suitable for ranged engagements. With its poor armour, it is recommended to stay at distance from autocannons and HMGs since they can shred the T-26 pretty easily at any angle. With light armour, average mobility and a good gun for its rank, the T-26 is a frontline support. This is definitively not representative of later Soviet tanks but is a good trainer since it is forgiving and harder to play than later tanks.

'''Mobility:''' 
While being a light tank, its mobility is one of a medium. It will carry you where you want to be, provided you choose your route well and avoid tricky manoeuvres. Reverse speed, while not great (-6 km/h), can save you from some bad situations, provided cover is not too far behind.

'''Armour:''' 
This is definitively the worst characteristic of this vehicle: armour is flat and thin on all sides. Do not expose yourself to enemy fire. Crew placement is not lined up from the front, meaning shells without HE filler can take up to 3 shots before being destroyed. Beware HMG and autocannons.

'''Firepower:''' 
The [[20-K (45 mm)|20-K]] is the typical Soviet rank 1 gun, players should get used to it since it will be your main armament up until rank 2. This gun has a good amount of HE filler, meaning penetrating shells will do good damage, sometimes even one-shot enemies. In longer ranges, shells begin to lose penetration and accuracy: it is not made for sniping. Try to bring ~10-15 BR-240SP (pure AP shells) for heavier targets. This gun is very forgiving to beginners since it has very fast reload speed and turret traverse.

== Usage in battles ==
''Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).''

* Very slow at scaling hills due to weak engine power.
* Only 3 crew members.
* One shot from the side will knock out all the crew.

== History ==

===Development===
The '''T-26''' light tank design is derived from the British Vickers 6-ton tank. In early 1930s, a Soviet buying committee traveled to Britain and purchased tanks, tractors, and cars for use in the Soviet Union, of which the Vickers tank was chosen. Fifteen Twin-turreted Vickers tank arrived into the Soviet Union in May 1930, equipped with only machine guns. Four more Vickers were delivered at the end of 1930, these being the single-turret variants with a 47 mm gun, and the deliveries were finished by 1932. The Vickers-produced tanks were designated as the ''V-26''.

The Vickers 6-ton tank competed with several Soviet designs for the "most suitable" tank design for Soviet use. One such competitor was the Soviet ''T-19'' light tank, which had advantages over the Vickers design, but also disadvantages. The T-19 designer, S. Ginzburg, suggested for a "hybrid" tank to be built off the features of the T-19 and the Vickers tank. But in January 1931, intelligence picked up that Poland bought up many foreign tanks from Britain and France with license to mass-produce them. This information pressured the Soviet military council to adopt the foreign tanks into Soviet usage, thus the Vickers 6-ton tank, under the designation as the '''T-26''', was accepted into service in February 13, 1931 as the main-stay of the Red Army's armoured forces.

Although outclassed later in the war, it was considered one of the more successful and widely produced tank model in the 1930s. It, along with the [[BT-7|BT]] light tanks, composed of the majority of Russia's armoured forces in late 1930s. It weighed just a little under 10 tons, had 15 mm thick armour in front, with a 45 mm 20K gun, and had a crew of three people. The Bolshevik Factory in Leningrad was the first factory to start producing the T-26 from June 1931, and production of the tank lasted from then until 1941.

===Variants===
During its production life, many variants of it was made for different purposes, up to '''53''' different ones to fit different roles, though only 23 would see service in production. Such designs included changes like a twin-turreted version (some with only machine guns and some with cannons), command tanks, added armour, artillery tanks (such as the [[T-26-4]]), flamethrower tanks, remote-controlled tanks, or just armoured carriers to tow artillery and such. Others were simply modified variants of the normal variants such as the [[T-26E]], which was the base single-turreted T-26 design with 30-40 mm applique armour made during the Winter War, which made them more resilient to the Finnish anti-tank weapons.

All these tanks produced in the span of 1931 to 1941 made up a total 10,300 tanks, and 1,701 other variants of it, for a total of 12,001 units produced.

===Combat usage===
The T-26 first saw combat in the Spanish Civil War, where it showed its superiority over the current tanks of the period fielded by Italy and Germany. Then it saw combat against the Japanese in the Soviet-Japanese border conflicts at Lake Khasan and Khalkhin Gol, which exposed some of the design defects such as poor armour welding and the disadvantages of riveted constructions (the rivet would break off and could harm the crew inside). After that, the T-26 saw service in the Invasion of Poland and the Winter War against Finland. The Winter War effectively showed the Soviets that the T-26 was obsolete, as the 37 mm guns and anti-tank rifles and Finnish have could penetrate the light armour of the T-26. When World War II for Russia finally broke out in Operation Barbarossa, the T-26 proved inferior to the German's [[Pz.III F|Panzer IIIs]] and [[Pz.IV F1|Panzer IVs]], plus the air supremacy of the Luftwaffe ensured many tanks were lost in the opening stages of Barbarossa.

The T-26 at this point also were breaking down and the lack of spare parts made repairs hard, resulting in multiple T-26 units also being knocked out for being irrecoverable. The T-26 was gradually phased from service by the new, venerable [[T-34 (1941)|T-34]] medium tanks, which gave Germany a run for their money. The T-26 still saw service in the war as a second-line unit, as it was still fighting in the Battle of Moscow of 1941, Stalingrad of 1942, and in Manchuria in 1945.

===Survivors===
A number of survivors exist today in different museums, about 45 of them are still intact. A majority of them are in Russia, Spain, and Finland, where they saw most of their services.

T-35

U66395413: /* Pros and cons */

{{Specs-Card|code=ussr_t_35}}

== Description ==

[[File:GarageImage_{{PAGENAME}}.jpg|420px|thumb|left]]

The '''{{specs|name}}''' is a premium Rank {{specs|rank}} Russian heavy tank {{Battle-rating|1}}. It was introduced in Update 1.43. The T-35 has the distinction in-game as the vehicle with the most crew members (10 total). While the armour may not provide great protection against enemies even at Rank I, the large crew count makes up in part for the tank's survivability in combat.

The T-35 is ''large''. It has five turrets on top too, but only three should be taken into consideration, the one in the middle, the one front right from middle, and the one bottom left from middle due to the armaments able to destroy tanks. However, don't be deceived by its size, the T-35's armour are barely more than 30 mm thick, so even with a Rank I standard gun, you may be able to penetrate its armour.

Despite the huge ammo reserve for the secondary turrets, the total ammo is split between the two turrets. This means that if one 45 mm cannon fires more than the other, it will run out and be unable to fire until resupplied.

The T-35 is the largest tank among the Rank I vehicles. With a multi-turreted platform of two 45 mm cannons and one 76.2 mm cannon, the tank could combat enemies at an almost 360° angle. However, the armour is quite thin for a vehicle of its size so one should not play this vehicle like a typical heavy tank later in the tier line. Though, the speed is decent for a vehicle of its size, so it is possible to catch the enemies off guard by attacking from an area they least expect.

== Usage in the battles ==
''The T-35 is nothing short of an absolute beast, being able to take more penetrating hits than any tank at 1.3 and beyond. With great survivability, firepower and size, the T-35 is the '''perfect''' Tank to lead an assault, a good T-35 can change the outcome of a game with no problem.''

=== Pros and cons ===

'''Pros:'''

*No less than 3 cannons
*Can fire to the rear
*High rate of fire
*Ammunition Capacity
*Large frame which often can absorb more modular/crew damage than most other tanks
*Crew of 10 makes it an almost impossible target to kill with an experienced player at the wheel
*Slowness and heaviness means that firing on the move is not a problem
*KT-28 gun kill anything it penetrates with a single hit

'''Cons:'''

*Slow
*Poor maneuverability
*Largest target currently among the ground forces
*Poorly armoured
*Possible to run out of ammo for one secondary turret if used too long.
*Very long, can get stuck into difficult situations in close quarters
*Tall, and with poor gun depression

== History ==

===Development===
The '''T-35''' concept began from the OKMO design bureau of the Bolshevik Factory in 1930, when work began on a heavy tank. Two teams were made for two competing designs, one was headed by German engineer Grotte and the other was headed by N. Tsiets. Grotte worked on a 100-ton four-turreted TG-5 tank, armed with a 107 mm naval gun, using pneumatic servo-controls and suspension, but this was cancelled. N. Tsiets worked on a design that may be inspired by the British tank design Vickers A1E1 Independent, which is a multi-turret tank using one main turret with a gun and smaller ones housing machine guns. This tank may also be the inspiration for the Soviet [[T-28|T-28 medium tank]].

The development was completed with a prototype by July 1932. The prototype was about 35 tons, had a 76.2 mm main gun and four smaller turrets around it, two with a 37 mm gun and two with machine guns. There were many defects with the transmission design and the design was considered too complex for the manufacturing process, plus it was expensive. Work stopped for a simpler prototype to be produced. This simpler version had a new engine, gearbox, and an improved transmission over the previous prototype. A standardization on the turrets between the prototype and that on the T-28 medium tank was utilized so the small machine gun turret are the same between the two designs, the main gun turret was also nearly identical, but the one on the T-28 has a rear-facing machine gun. The design was approved for production on August 11, 1933 and was produced at the Kharkov Locomotive Factory with about 20 units produced.

The tank was upgraded again from experiences of the two prototypes, the chassis was made longer, the hull redesigned, and 45 mm gun turrets from the [[BT-5|BT-5 light tanks]] used instead of a 37 mm gun. This was designated the T-35 Model 1935 and started production on 1935 and had 35 units built by 1938, with small improvements made throughout its production life. A final redesign made in 1938 had new turrets with sloping armour installed and modified side skirts for protecting the idler wheel, six of these Model 1938s were produced. The total production run from 1933 to 1938 produced a total of 61 T-35s for the Soviet Union, its high cost being the deciding factor that ended its production. A variant produced from the chassis was a self-propelled artillery mount called the ''SU-14'', but only two were made and never reached production stages.

===Design===
The T-35 is the only five-turreted tank to ever enter production. The main turret in the center and mounted high is equipped with a 76 mm KT-28 cannon, two secondary turrets mounted front right and back left had a 45 mm 20-K gun, and two more secondary turrets on the front left and back right had a 7.62 mm machine gun. Despite being a rather large tank, the interior was quite constricted for its crew. The crew of 11-12 men were crammed together and this directly affected their combat efficiency. The crew layout was a compartment for the driver, each machine gun turret had one man, two man in the turret with 45 mm guns, and three man in the main turret. It was typical for a couple crewman to serve outside the tank. A senior driver was responsible for the transmission and running gear. While a mechanic overlooked and took care of the engine. Construction of the T-35s armour was a mix of welds and rivets. The tank was powered by a 12-Cylinder Mikulin M-17M engine generating nearly 500 hp and was considered under-powered. The design had many reliability issues and even flaws, such as the main turret able to render escape hatches on the smaller turrets unable to be opened due to its gun mount.

===Combat usage===
The T-35 was issued to the 5th Separate Heavy Tank Brigade in Moscow and was involved in parades through the Red Square from 1935 until 1940. The T-35 was there to impress spectators as well as foreign observers rather than as a fighting piece. In June 1940, the T-35 was subjected to either be withdrawn from front-line duties, be converted into self-propelled artillery, or be sent to military academies for future studies. It was decided to keep them for combat purposes and the T-35s were issued to the 67th and 68th Tank Regiments in the 34th Tank Division in the 8th Mechanized Corps in the Kiev Special Military District. The T-35 then saw action against the German forces when Operation Barbarossa was commenced. Though the tanks actual combat history is not very well documented, the tank regiments they were assigned to reported a loss of 90% of the vehicles, more to mechanical failures than to enemy combat. These broken down tanks were subsequently destroyed by their crews to avoid capture. The last reported use of these tanks was during the Battle of Moscow, where two T-35s were deployed and its performance went unrecorded. One such vehicle was captured by the Germans and sent to the Kummersdorf military proving grounds for evaluations. This captured T-35 may or may not be the same one the German used during the Battle of Berlin in April 1945.

The T-35 was once mistaken for taking part in the Winter War against Finland, this is due to the deployment of the [[SMK]], T-100s, and [[KV-1 (L-11)|KV-1s]] prototypes into the battle as combat testing. The SMK was disabled by the Finnish and was documented in photographs, which the German intelligence designated it as the ''T-35C'', despite being not any way related to the T-35 tank.

===Survivors===
Today, only one T-35 is left not only in an intact state, but still in running condition. This tank is held in the Kubinka Tank Museum at Moscow and only survived because it was used at a training facility rather than combat use. Kubinka also holds the second prototype of the aforementioned SU-14 self-propelled artillery gun.

Ro-Go

U66395413: /* Survivability and armour */

{{Specs-Card|code=jp_type_95_heavy}}

== Description ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a premium Rank {{specs|rank}} Japanese "landship" {{Battle-rating|1}}. It was introduced in [[Update_1.67_"Assault"|Update 1.67 "Assault"]].

== General info ==
=== Survivability and armour ===
The Ro-go is an excellently protected vehicle for 1.3. featuring armour thick enough to stop 50. from all angles, and when angled even anti-tank guns. As well, The placement of modules deep down inside the hull, where most 1.3 players would never think of shooting, makes the chance that the ammo, engine, transmission and fuel tanks getting hit rather low. Even the crew inside the tank are pretty well protected by the tank's armour, and if everything fails you still have the lone machinegunner in the back turret, which means that a lot of the time you will be able to make a partial recovery from getting shredded to pieces by the waves of Pz.IIs and M2A4s.

== Usage in the battles ==
The Ro-go, like most landships, is the perfect vehicle to lead an assault. The Ro-go's relatively thick armour and impressive firepower mean that the Ro-go can deal a lot of punishment to the enemy. As well, if being the spearhead of an assault isn't your style, you can always use that sweet 200 m/s to annoy enemies who think that they are safe behind buildings, walls, rocks and even hills.

=== Pros and cons ===

'''Pros:'''

* Main gun with 70mm HE and the secondary with 37m AP are a deadly combination
* 70mm's amazing 200 m/s with heat shells (slowest in the game) means that it can shoot enemies behind cover
* Great gun depression and good elevation
* Six crew vehicle
* The secondary frontal turret can act as a shield to absorb some hits
* has relatively thick armour enough to stop 50. from all angles and, when angled, many anti-tank guns
* Good maneuverability for a heavy tank
* 70mm HEAT shells excel in both penetration and dama
* Modules are very well hidden in amongst the vehicle

'''Cons:'''

* Slow turret traverse makes the Ro-Go easy to flank
* Features only a single machinegun in a rear turret
* Two massively different trajectories for the main guns
* Back turret ammo runs out very quickly
* Very slow
* Penetration with standard APHE for both guns is lacking

== History ==
''Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the ground vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/historical reference" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/Name-vehicles/historical reference) and add a link to it here using the <code>main</code> template. Be sure to include links to sources at the end of the article.''

== Media ==
''An excellent addition to the article will be video guides, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.''

== Read also ==
''Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example,''

* ''reference to the series of the vehicles;''
* ''links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.''

''ETC.''

== Usage in the battles ==
The Ro-go, like most landships, is the perfect vehicle to lead an assault. The Ro-go's relatively thick armour and impressive firepower mean that the Ro-go can deal a lot of punishment to the enemy. As well, if being the spearhead of an assault isn't your style, you can always use that sweet 200 m/s to annoy enemies who think that they are safe behind buildings, walls, rocks and even hills.

=== Pros and cons ===

'''Pros:'''

* Main gun with 70mm HE and the secondary with 37m AP are a deadly combination
* 70mm's amazing 200 m/s with heat shells (slowest in the game) means that it can shoot enemies behind cover
* Great gun depression and good elevation
* Six crew vehicle
* The secondary frontal turret can act as a shield to absorb some hits
* has relatively thick armour enough to stop 50. from all angles and, when angled, many anti-tank guns
* Good maneuverability for a heavy tank
* 70mm HEAT shells excel in both penetration and dama
* Modules are very well hidden in amongst the vehicle

'''Cons:'''

* Slow turret traverse makes the Ro-Go easy to flank
* Features only a single machinegun in a rear turret
* Two massively different trajectories for the main guns
* Back turret ammo runs out very quickly
* Very slow
* Penetration with standard APHE for both guns is lacking

== Usage in the battles ==
''Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).''

=== Pros and cons ===

'''Pros:'''

* Main gun with 70mm HE and the secondary with 37m AP are a deadly combination
* Great gun depression and good elevation
* Six crew vehicle
* The secondary frontal turret can act as a shield to absorb some hits

'''Cons:'''

* Large ammo racks, combined with insufficient armor (for a heavy tank) makes the tank easy to flank and kill
* Slow and heavy= bad at climbing
* Slow turret traverse makes the Ro-Go easy to flank
* Two different trajectories for the main guns
* Back turret ammo runs out very quickly
