  1. So the switch from H to M model was based on copying SU-76?

  3. Not exactly. They used Pak40 shells,the cash Ng was unique though. The gun in question was F-22, a failed project to make universal guns. They were replaced by cheaper and yet more modern ZiS-3. But ZiS-3 was 100% artillery gun, there was no modernization reserve. Meanwhile F-22 was on purpose build with too thick chamber walls that were supposed to be redrilled for AA use later on if the project would be approved as universal gun. Germans just captured the plans when they entered Kharkov and basically had done what was already listed in blueprints. There was no development per say involved. Would you claim that you have developed your IKEA furniture?:))
