    The Germans captured so many and with multiple turret's could have made a near ideal "train tank" mounted on a flat car. Wonder if they ever did?

    (Edit - sorry, think this is the same info as PTimms posted above.)

    Wondered if it was the same bloke that assembled those KV2 pictures way back - couldn't find that on his server, but nice Ferdinand collections:

    The Wirbelwind 4 barrelled AA was cool. The Soviets made the wicked 23mm ZSU which is still a bane. Multi turrets did not pan out. Multi guns in a single turret- oh yea. Wonder if the Russians have gone to gatling guns, or if the ZSU still rules yonder...Would the 4 spaced barrels be more effective than 1 bullet hose? ..Ima gonna say yes.
