The German Neubaufahrzeug, Canadian Ram, and British Crusader all had this solution. Interestingly enough, the idea of one main turret and a small machine gun turret persisted for quite some time. It was also difficult to communicate with the other turret. This sort of approach fell out of favour quickly since the most you could fit into one of these turrets was a very small gun (low velocity 37 mm) or a machine gun. A tank could drive up on a trench and fire in two directions at once so enemy troops had nowhere to run. For example, the Vickers Mk.E Type A with two machine gun turrets was designed for trench sweeping. Tanks with multiple turrets were designed to engage multiple targets at the same time.
