History

The Ansaldo GL-4 was an Italian heavy tank project from 1929, very little is known about it's development but the Italian army rejected it due to the complexity and cost. Ansaldo then tried to sell the design to the Soviets who were more interested but preferred to design there own heavy tank.

Note

There is some argument between historians if the turret was really equipped with two cannons or if the only known image shows a single barrel at both min/max elevation.
