I'm pretty certain that the image is actually of a T34 heavy tank with 120mm gun (based on the different shape to the mantle and lack of muzzle brake). Can anyone confirm that the image is actually a T29 or can we change the caption. Getztashida 11:46, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

>> Nope, I've gone though and confirmed it: http://www.peachmountain.com/5star/Tanks_Patton_Tanks_M29_tank.aspx The thing that bothers me is the the "crew section: says 6 then lists 5 positions. think the other would be a radio operator but can't confirm. Plus the best replies are the 5 years later replies.Cliss 13:35, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

>>> Was the engine 650hp as listed on the right, or 750hp as indicated in the body text of the article? I'm fairly certain that it's a T29 in the image currently shown, as it has the large optics on the sides of the turret.

>>>> According to Hunnicutt page 197, it was 770hp Gross at 2800rpm, and 650hp net at 2800rpm. I'll try to adjust the info. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.25.245.99 (talk) 13:27, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Turret front armor

The stated "turret front 7 in (249 mm)" has something wrong. 249mm are about 10 inches. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.20.75.210 (talk) 18:28, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Moving T34 Heavy Tank information to the T30 Heavy Tank page

I believe it would be more appropriate to include the information on the T34 heavy tank in this T29 article be moved to the wiki page on the T30 heavy tank. This is due to the fact that the T34 is more related to the T30 than the T29. The T34 is essentially an upgunned T30, while the T29 is a separate project. Although looking similar, the turret of the T34 and T29 are different and is not directly related to the T34's development like the T30. Additional information on the T34 from Hunnicutt's book "Firepower" can be used to provide more information on the T34 tank than is currently on the wiki on its shared page with the T30.
