StuG III Thread (and also other German vehicles I guess)
ZloyKrolik replied to EnsignExpendable's topic in Mechanized Warfare
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. -

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. -

I know the Soviets had a set doctrine and built vehicles to fit that doctrine. I wouldn't say they were low quality though.- 5,188 replies

The Soviet Tank Thread: Transversely Mounted 1000hp Engines
ZloyKrolik replied to T___A's topic in Mechanized Warfare
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).- 5,188 replies

ZloyKrolik replied to T___A's topic in Mechanized Warfare
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".- 5,188 replies
