Comparing: T32 vs. KV-5

An experimental World War II American heavy tank. Developed on the basis of the M26 Pershing and T29 tanks. Prototypes were built in 1946; however, the T32 never entered mass production.

Development was started in June 1941 at the Leningrad Kirov Plant and completed by August, but the German invasion prevented development from progressing to the prototype stage. The KV-5 was expected to share some components with the KV-1. A new turret was designed, incorporating the 107-mm ZIS-6 gun. Early plans called for a new 1,200 hp diesel engine, but later adjustments, recognizing wartime disruptions, replaced this with two V-2K engines.
