  4-The engine bay (compared to other soviet tanks) is actually pretty small

  3-Models os t-44 were equipped with 120mm guns I'm unsure how they were balanced but it is possible to equip 100+ mm guns in tanks like this.

  2-the turret is indeed big but this is inspired by t-44 which also had a turret big compared to the hull

  1-the gun fits fine, you need to remember this is 2d but a tank interior is 3d and tanks during ww2 were mostly not comfortable, good example the sherman firefly.

  The tank also seems to be very top heavy with a large and tall turret which will further imbalance it. Tanks also need tracks and suspension, with you not leaving much room for that either. I would generally advise against trying to learn from Soviet tanks as they're.. bad to mediocre at best in almost every regard.

  A few things of note, the turret is way too big or the chassis too small. Similarly the gun is too big for the tank to possibly be balanced even when looking forward, not to talk about turning the turret to the sides. The engine bay is way too massive and there's no turret basket yet, nor is there much room for one seemingly.

  I'll probaly simplify it alot since I don't want to study about engines to only make a engine in a 2d game

  -This may take longer than a week, I'm making some notes about how engines work and soviet engines are a little... weird, Alot of components instead of being at the engine are placed around the tank engine compartment, possibly because the engine is sideways which reduces space for other parts. So is quite complicated to understand what each part is from engine or transmission or others things..

  And yeah the turret is kinda similar

  I'm using the "grunt Grunt" save as the main save to make the tank so I unpublished it
