I like most of them.
In terms of WW-2 tanks the IS-2 is my favorite, with the IS-3 missing out because of its lack of combat. In terms of overall…

>Heavy tank favorite:
- WW2 is the IS-2 with the IS-3 and KV-1S a close follow-up
- non-experimental has to be the T-10M. This behemoth was the peak of heavy tanks.
- Exerimental: Object 279, its gun was massive, its 4 tracks gave it superior terrain traverse and its elliptical shape made it more resistant to horizontal attack as well as nuclear blasts

>Medium tanks:
- WW-2 The T-34, followed by the T-28
- Non-experimental; The T-55
- experimental; NA

>Light Tanks:
- WW-2 is the T-60 and T-70
- Non-experimental is the PT-76
- Experimental is the Sprut SD

>MBT
- WW-2; NA
- Non-experimental is the T-90, combines the best of the T-80 and T-72 tanks
- Experimental; NA ( I don't particularly like the Armata design and the rest are serviceable but nothing special).

It was a good medium tank with focus on adequately covering all the points necessary; CBRN defense, armor resistant to equivalent cannon fire, optimal turret shape, wide tracks for low ground-pressure, diesel multi-fuel engine, 100mm rifled cannon, decent optics etc. The modernized versions are as powerful as the T-62 or early T-72

From horse’s mouth itself:
&ltPhnom Penh radio broadcast an appeal to "purify our armed forces, our Party and the masses of people… in defence of Cambodian territory and the Cambodian race…. One of us must kill 30 Vietnamese… two million troops would be more than enough to fight the Vietnamese, because Vietnam has only 50 million inhabitants…. We need only two million troops to crush the 50 million Vietnamese, and we would still have six million people left. We must formulate our combat line in this manner, in order to win victory."

Since a /pol/potist’s already here, it’s as good as any time to ask. What do you think about the incorporation of mines into the KR’s tactics of protracted People’s war? In a serious strategy perspective I think it’s actually really effective at fighting an organized army and was able to push back some Vietnamese attacks. But on the down side it also killed more of your own already brutalized civilian population (who went through the dumbass purged and failed economic policies) than actual targets prompting them the support the Vietnamese and the salvation front.

mines need to be mapped out thoroughly and in jungle conditions, in wars such as the one you describe it is impossible, resulting in thousands of mines being forgotten and hurting generations to come. Since it's not an open battle either, mines are just as likely to hit civvies as they are military forces making them a terrible choice for that. When it was a war like with the USA, where the opponent is coming from 1 side and you can collaborate with locals to keep them safe that's different situation.

I am a fan of the more unusual soviet tanks.

The T42 which never made it off the drawing board and was designed as an answer to the Ratte was a fascinating design, and quite possibly a better tank overall.

And although it is not a tank as such. The ZIL-2906 is also a favorite of mine because of its screw propulsion system.

And the A-40 airborne tank was also a interesting idea, although it was impractical since no aircraft could tow it at the time it was designed. and the BMD-1 which was air droppable ended this experiment for good.

>T42 which never made it off the drawing board and was designed as an answer to the Ratte
No it wasn't. Its design is clearly early interwar since it resembles the T-35. It and the T-35 were useless by the late 1930s (unlike the T-28 which held out as a decent platform into 1942).
The Ratte was a concept that never even reached full design stage and like the Maus was uselessly heavy, the Soviets were not aware of the lump of metal during the war and didn't even bother trying to counter such a tank post-war when captured Maus tanks showed its obvious uselessness.
THe T-42 was like the T-35, too long, too heavy and narrow tracked and too lightly armored. Its massive size made it impossible to upgrade or up-armor and improve armament without the need for even larger engines, and larger suspension, all increasing the weight of the tank and resulting in increased wear of components

TL;DR Shitty tank that thankfully was never committed into metal.

No its fucking true, Any Russian general from that time can confirm. He halted all artillery research and had a ton of guns melted down. He only stopped this when his rocket fetish didn't pan out fully. It wasn't a complete failure and it got a lot of innovative designs made, but it also forced the Soviet military to quickly re-establish and re-learn artillery production after this craze.

However, Khurschev was inspired in this fanaticism by the USA's raze for "space age" stuff, which also negatively reflected on the US military who made far fewer advancements in most regards.

"The ASU-57 was originally designed to be air-dropped alongside troops from the cargo bay of the standard Antonov-12, by means of a rocket-assisted parachute (PP-128-500 or P-7). It is armed with a Ch-51 57 mm gun which could fire the standard ZIS-2 57x480R AP rounds, but also the BR-271 and O-271U rounds. 30 were in storage in the hull. To keep the cost as low as possible, the engine was derived from the GAZ-M-20 “Pobeda” civilian car, and most of the parts came from wartime light tanks like the SU-76 and T-40, including the wheeltrain and suspensions. The design was so compact and made of welded and bolted aluminum plates, that the hull ended with 6 mm armor at the front, sufficient for small arms fire (in theory). Outside the crew of three, and despite its small dimensions, it was large enough to accommodate six more men and an improvized APC. An estimated total of 500 vehicles were built until 1962 (exact production figures remains unknown)."
