Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Roddy556: Originally Posted By RolandofGilead: So many things like this in Russian. My wife is always like "well...it's kind of When I read that I dropped out the "a". Her English is better than that lol. She will occasionally use sort of strange (but correct) sentence structure- in Russian word order doesn't matter in many cases. She will sometimes use words that aren't super common too...but still correct. She'll really surprise me with vocab sometimes, but then she'll totally miss some slang I use... Her biggest mistake is mixing up V and W (no W in Russian) which I always mercilessly tease her about Good thing she's not on this vebsite

Here are the results from the same gun mounted in a SU-152.  "Results of precision trials, February 2nd 1943 Left group: firing from 1000 meters Right group: firing from 500 meters." Tank Archives: This blog is dedicated to bringing World War II era documents to the general public, with an overall focus on armoured warfare.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Ironhandjohn: Originally Posted By Bthorn: My neighbor across the street has one. He says they stile a lot of tech from BMW, if I recall correctly. Basically a reverse-engineered WW2 Zundapp & dumbed-down a bit. Yep. According to official accounts, after lengthy discussion, the BMW R71 motorcycle was found to closely match the Red Army's requirements. Five units were covertly purchased through Swedish intermediaries. Soviet engineers in Moscow dismantled the five BMWs, reverse engineered the BMW design in every detail and made molds and dies to produce engines and gearboxes in Moscow. Early in 1941, the prototypes of the Dnepr M-72 motorcycle were shown to Stalin who made the decision to enter mass production. One of the original BMWs purchased through the Swedish intermediaries survives, and is displayed in the IMZ-Ural factory museum.[2] |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MshakeMO: The accuracy of big guns is freakish to me. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MshakeMO: The accuracy of big guns is freakish to me. IMO the biggest problem was the ranging at this time, most tanks only had a reticle for the stadiametric rangefinding method. That's why the German 8.8 was so deadly, for every gun there was a telemetric rangefinder. I'd imagine those groups were stellar at the time. The German guns were even better, I've seen the paper target from a 7.5cm Panther, 10 shots, 65cm at 1500m, 25" at 1640yds. The accuracy of Russians tankguns today isn't much better than the ISU from WW2. I know a retired Russian tank officer, he was devastated after he saw how good the NATO tanks performed at Desert Storm, at this time he was a young second lieutenant and tank commander. He decided that day, he would do everything to get out of his steel coffin.  We had some beers and he told me many stories about his time in the military, after the Iron Curtain fell, he had the opportunity to visit a Bundeswehr tank batallion. The German tankers were capable to hit a DIN A4 sized target at 1000m with 4 out of 5 shots. DIN A4 is a little bit larger than a Letter sheet. He showed the target to his fellow comrades as a warning, it still hangs on a wall in his man cave. |

Antonov A-40 The Antonov A-40 Krylya Tanka (Russian: крылья танка, meaning "tank wings") was a Soviet attempt to allow a tank to glide onto a battlefield after being towed aloft by an airplane, to support airborne forces or partisans.[1] A prototype was built and tested in 1942, but was found to be unworkable. This vehicle is sometimes called the A-40T or KT.  Attached File |
