This BVM wouldnt be a bad tank with just a little more improvement. Already has quite good mobility and decent protection. Its main flaw I think is the hopelessly obsolete commander's station. Its still the '60s. Also it needs modern communication and navigation systems, and maybe an APS capable of defeating top attack ATGMs.

 We are working on the turret of a heavy KV-2 tank in the Central Museum of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. In total, the turet turned foraround 25 minutes. It could have been faster, but the rotation was accompanied by the lubrication of turret ring, for which it was rotated in the first place.

Back to WW2, does the KV-2 turret traverse system was powered or just hand-cranked ?

The ISU-152 is not too authentic though... Its a post war K or M variant. But who cares, looks great!
