    3 out of 30 is not "half".

    Just like the filters I used on M1A1. Not saying that T-34 filters were as good as the filters on the M1A1, but even modern filters need to be serviced daily under dusty conditions if you want your tank to work right.

    Burn!

    I think Zaloga was on to something in Armored Champion: you have to take into account the period of the war and the difference in best tank for the actual crews and for the high command.

    The horse is dead.

    So they took the turret off the Bradley to put an unmanned one back on?

    Dig that funky soundtrack.

    The Tank Museum does the M48. Too bad they showed an M60 cupola when talking about the M48.

    Is that a license plate on the front? You wouldn't want to get pulled over by the Mexican Police, you know.

    Out with the "Gavin" in with AMPV. What would Sparky say?

    I know the Soviets had a set doctrine and built vehicles to fit that doctrine. I wouldn't say they were low quality though.

    What myths & misconceptions?

    Well it is a Universal Carrier.

    Did they actually fire them that way, or are they just carrying them?

    Sparky is on World of Tanks , I've run into him a couple of times. Just as pleasant there as well. I ended up blocking him in chat.

    The Soviets were aware of the shortcomings of the T-34 and had plans to address them, then the Germans invaded. Described in the latest Archive Awareness: http://www.tankarchives.ca/2020/05/pre-war-potential.html

    At least he had hearing protection.

    OK. 76.2 mm is 30 lines, so 122 mm is 48 lines. Why did they decide on that particular caliber? Most nations had field artillery of around 3" (75/76.2 mm), but next up in size is around 4" or so (105 mm) for medium artillery before they jump to around 6" for heavy artillery (150 mm/152/ 155).
  21. ZloyKrolik
    But why did the Russians pick that particular caliber? I get that 76.2 mm is 3", but why 122 mm? Why not 127 mm which is 5".
  22. ZloyKrolik
    Why did the Soviets use 122mm for howitzers and guns? Why that particular diameter?

    There is a mount for a periscope in the loader's hatch of the M60A1/A3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M60_tank#/media/File:M60qatar.jpg

    Plenty of Shermans in this video.

    Those 2 dudes in front are in for a significant emotional event.
