Project Started May 1940:
KV-3 "Mammoth" Super-Heavy Tank
Designed as an upgrade to the KV-series of tanks, this tank has been designed to allow a single tank the ability to provide itself limited rocket artillery support.
With dual 76.2mm guns and 12 125mm rockets (in two pods of 6), this tank is not designed to fight tank battles, but rather to destroy defensive positions that would be difficult for other tanks to breach.
Project Started: Aug 40
KV-1bis
Essentially, when the T-34 came out, the KV-1 was effectivly rendered obsolete, as it was basically a heavier, more costly version of the T-34. However, Soviet designers are redesigning the KV-1 with an 85mm main gun, to improve its firepower and put it back up to par as a heavy tank.
