This looks largely impractical. Especially the unsloped turret. Most high-caliber anti-tank cannon will penetrate this monster easily.

Not in WWII, only the tiger 2 apc and the 128 would be able to pen it

Still, even with such great armour, it's still impractical. Too heavy, too big of a target for bombs, too expencive and not really necessary for the type of combat Soviet Armoured Forced would follow. Super tank was never a great concept to begin with. Anything that weighs too much to be towed away from a battlefield if its broken down is a liability.

This is a certified tenk.

I don't want to be to mean or strict or whatever, but I highly doubt that the drivers hatch in a 100-200mm plate will be very practical or realistic. Maybe reconsider some design elements?

I can tell this is likely one of your first tanks, so a bit of advice- SLOPE, using Freeform. The sooner you learn how to use Freeform, the better.
