i love the soviet line but it is filled with t34 kv’s and si self-propelled guns. adding tanks like the t43 and t44 would add a good mix. unlike most soviet tanks it has a turret that is not phone booth sized. so i would like to see both t43 as they have radically different guns.
How is a 76mm and a 85mm gun the t43 used so much diffrent to the 76 mm and the 85 mm the t34 got?
You copy pasted from wiki but nowhere on there they mention any othere caliber.
the title mentions it is a 76mm and a 120mm not a 76 and 85mm, also a snub vs a barrel as long as the tank
as for the 76 of the t34 not much but the body is very different, not all tanks have different guns. also the kept adding bits to the t34 so which t34.
since i only mentioned the t34 once i was referring to the difference between the two t43 guns and not between the guns of the 43 and t34
Im am sorry but the wikipedia article you copy pasted from did mention that 2 prototypes the soviet build where useing eighter the 76mm or the 85mm gun, which is why I was a bit coffused.
The 120mm T 43 is US prototype from 1950 so why bring that one up?
It isnt even remotely close to WW 2.
How do you look at this and think “yep looks like Soviet WW2 tank”?
Even the pic link says:
