Once more to the breech(sp?) ! Does anyone have more information of operational deployment of this model. It was descrived as a "tank-Hunter" http://www.battlefield.ru/t34_57.html Best Regards Clausewitz
Not into my breeches, I hope! There isn't much to say on this "miscarriage of a tank", really. The 57mm was difficult to manufacture, must have had problems with barrel stoop, and in any case the SU-85 was already just around the corner. And also the 57mm HE shell would be much less useful than the 76mm, so why decrease capabilities for little gain? No reason to carry on with the T-34/57.
