In “Object 430” the changes concerned the location and configuration of the engine and the whole engine-transmission compartment. The engine was located across the driving direction in the aft compartment, allowing to expand of inner space for the 4-person crew and ammunition.
A characteristic shape of the tank was a hemispherical turret with 248 mm armor at the front and a slot for the main gun – 100 mm D-54TS gun. There was also provision for a 14.5-mm anti-aircraft machine gun KPVT. “Object 430” in later modifications was successfully tested, however, it did not show a significant advantage over the obsolete “T-54”. In 1961 the project was stopped. Successful engineering solutions were taken over by the “Object 432”, which eventually evolved into the mass-produced “T-64”. Nevertheless, “Object 430” was a powerful fighting vehicle, in some parameters coming close to heavy tanks. The long-rifled main gun allowed for long-range target shooting. Powerful armor protected the crew and ammunition even from a direct hit of 120-mm guns. The tank could reach speeds of up to 55 km/h on a hard surface and overcome water obstacles to a depth of 5 meters (using underwater driving equipment). The self-assembly model “Object 430” is a product of a collaboration between “Wargaming” and “Metal Time Workshop”.
