You see T-34 85 mm, T-34(85), usually just T-34.<br /><br />The real good stuff is when they say KV-122 when meaning IS-2, I guess some commanders were used to any heavy tank being a KV.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09622237223229485503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030145265861917845.post-15240734414587438612020-07-12T07:08:34.835-04:002020-07-12T07:08:34.835-04:00In terms of SU-76 - some people argued that archet...In terms of SU-76 - some people argued that archetypical, mass produced SU-76, that's not SU-76, but SU-76M. From other hand, even in Soviet documents SU-76M commonly was desribed as SU-76. Generally, in my opinion Soviet soldiers was a less designation purist than modern AFV fans. As example, in Soviet document from 5th Guard Tank Army about losses we can found not only usage SU-76 term instead SU-76M, but also usage terms SU-122 and SU-152 - probably in document SU-122 mean in reality ISU-122 and SU-152 mean in reality ISU-152. I think so, because in 1945 probably only small number of SU-122 and SU-152 was used. <br /><br />https://pamyat-naroda.ru/documents/view/?id=113847372<br /><br />BTW- I'm saw Soviet document which show T-34/85 designation instead T-34-85.
