HT-30 Heavy Tank
The HT-30 entered service in 1945 as the U.S. Army’s answer to fortified Japanese positions and the rising threat of enemy heavy tanks. Armed with the massive 156mm M19 cannon, it was capable of demolishing bunkers and destroying armored targets at long range. The gun’s heavy two-piece ammunition required two loaders, resulting in a slow rate of fire, but its destructive impact made a good pay-off.

Powered by a strong V-type engine, the HT-30 had excellent torque for its size, but remained slow and cumbersome. It carried a hull-mounted .30 caliber machine gun, a coaxial .50 caliber, and a pintle-mounted .50 caliber for additional defense against infantry and aircraft.

Only a limited number were deployed by 1946, typically operating in small hunter groups with other heavy tanks. These units relied on coordinated tactics—some drawing enemy fire while others positioned for decisive strikes with the M19 gun. While effective, the HT-30 was resource-intensive to field and maintain. By 1949, it was phased out in favor of more modern and efficient designs, but it was used as a base design for the future developments of heavy tanks of the late war and post war period.

The Pacific Front is a Alternate History Project about the time from 1940s through to the 70s in a time of turmoil, war and desperation. It focuses on the countries around the pacific ocean, like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Russia, China and a lot more. All the the project vehicles are fictional in nature and have their own story, lore and design. The Projects creations have a tendency for high fidelity, decoration and multi crew operation.
