I did say useful as mopping-up,
I wouldn't keep them in the front lines to easily picked-off with the thin armour.
But with the speed and and 2 flame ports one detachable persuading and killing faltering infantry they can't be beat.

As an example.
I racked up 8 kills on one in a battle that's why i use them

Looked it up. The OT-34 appears at late 41 and has several versions throughout the war. Appox speed, 18. Approx armour - F8, S7, B6. Armourment 76mm and 85mm. They make a great close support for your armour companies.

Was just thinking a LC as the Soviets.
Here is some pics of these toys I will be sure to use

Did they ever try a FT version of the T-35??? Pull one of the AT guns, add a FT and fuel tank, and you'd have a serious close support tank

No. as far as i know.
What I do know the russians quit production after only 61 tanks,due to bad design flaws.
Could you imagine though, a land battleship?
Try squezzing 12 men in there
