They wanted a tank which can drive from East Germany to France, despite being knocked out and having their crews killed 3-4 times; a lot of minor hits can kill a lot of the crew, without significantly impairing the tank's mobility or firepower; allowing it to be repaired and put back into action once more after hosing out the dead crew.

While I knew the Soviets weren't as concerned with casulties as the NATO nations I didn't realize they went so far as actually planning for their equipment to survive the crew.
