Why is that?

First he begins with a strawman argument in order to make everyone with a different opinion look like a clueless fan boy. Then he shows some documents, like all slavaboos do, in order to demonstrate his intellectual superiority. Too bad he doesn't know Germans used the 50% criterion, where as Soviet union used standard deviation or срединные отклонение. He lacks the formal education to understand his sources, but he talks down on people who don't share his opinion. It's really pathetic.

Something is pathetic around here, but I don't think it's Archive Awareness.

Please continue, I will compile your complaints and mail them to my alma mater, clearly my engineering education is insufficient to understand ballistics and probability and should have its accreditation revoked.

The theoretical deviation calculations are backed by practical trials. Somehow all the "but the criterion is different!" crowds conveniently ignore those, even without the token "all Soviet trials are rigged" flailing.

Your history education is insufficient. You don't understand your sources and you work with false premises.

This is backed by "practical trials" and shows you are wrong.

American reviews of Soviet optics call them "the best of those known worldwide". Blind devotion to mythical Zeiss quality is not based on any actual historical evidence.

:lol:A blog based on hearsay and anecdotes. :lol:

Hearsay that's a direct quote from the American T-34 test? Anecdotes with archive references? Everything I write is sourced. Nothing you write is.

Actually you didn't provide anything but the report's name. Too bad quoting an unsubstantiated report doesn't prove anything and satisfies the definition of hearsay. You really don't know how to handle historical data.

Btw the German WW2 optics which are considered to be the best, were not built by Zeiss. You really know nothing about this topic.

I was under the opinion that anyone even remotely interested in WWII armoured warfare was intimately familiar with that report. "Zeiss optics" is like "Kruppstahl", almost a meme in military history circles. My apologies for using specialist jargon on my extremely narrowly specialized blog.

Are you sure?

Yes, I am.

The TWZ-1 is not considered to be the best, so wasn't talking about that one.

The ones that are usally mentioned as the best sights of ww2 are the TZF9 and maybe 12. Leitz was the main producer of these sights, Zeiss was mostly restricted to license production, although they provided a thermal imager for the TZF12 called WPG-Z.

You're shifting the goalposts.  At first you were saying that the T-34 could not have the best optics, because the best optics were German and they were not produced by Zeiss.

Now, having been shown evidence that some German gunsights were Zeiss-made, you're saying that the ones considered to be the best were not Zeiss-made.

Your examples of the TZF 9 and TZF 12 gunsights are irrelevant.  The tanks were shipped to the US in 1942, before the allies had captured any tanks that would have the TZF 9, and before the TZF 12 was even introduced into service!

That's not what i said.

I never inplied there is logical link between the fact, that T34 optics were not the best and the fact that Zeiss did not build all German ww2 optics.

My example is not irrelevant. The anectode about about one American saying  T-34 optics were  "the best of those known worldwide" is irrelevant.
