T-26 Mod. 1933

Happy 79th Victory Day

This craft was specifically made to celebrate USSR/Russian Victory Day, a victory that was achieved from The Great Patriotic War against the Third Reich.

Origins

During the late 30's, Vickers-Armstrongs developed a 6-ton armored vehicle designated as Vickers 6-Ton (Vickers Mk.E). The vehicle was intended to be exported to less technically developed like the USSR at that time. In early 1930's, the USSR purchased a few Vickers 6-Tons, which the first 4 were arrived at the late 30's and the last vehicles at 1932. Those vehicles were studied and the vehicles also used for training purposes. Thoss vehicles were later called V-26 in the USSR. T-19 light tank competed against the Vickers 6-Ton. In the end the Vickers 6-Ton was immediately produced without waiting the development of the vehicle. Then on 13 February 1931, the Vickers 6-Ton, designated as T-26, has officially entered service.

Design (Mod. 1933)

The tank consists of 3 crew, commander, gunner and driver. The turret was off centered to the left to accomodate some space for the driver on the left, both commander and gunner placed inside the turret. It had 2 boogies, consisted of 4 wheels and 4 return roller above those boogies. The armaments consisted of 45 mm 20K cannon as main armament and DT machine gun as secondary weapon, mounted in co-axial configuration.

In game features, systems, and controls

I had an idea to made this craft at 8th May and immediately started the project at that day, then post it the day after that, so I had no time to make interior (since I didnt made the interior the part count was dropped too). The flag on the left of the turret was flag of the Red Army, to remembering that this craft was made at, and intended for May 9.
