  1. "You see comrade, if you fold the crew twice and then make them choke on exhaust, you get very effective tank" "Can they perform in combat even remotely as good as they did during testing? Can the gun in such tank have the same accuracy and rate of fire as towed variant?" "Absolutely!" "Are you sure? Can you provide any..." "Trust me, bro"

  2. The interesting tank to mention here too would be IS-3 as it's basically new hull front and turret for same components as IS-2. So there is no way they would screw up engine mounting or oil pan or electric system or welds or roof of engine compartment, right? And yet post war IS-3 created with less hurry and higher budget then wartime IS-2 were infamously bad tanks that were falling apart and declared obsolete by soviets themselves in just two years with revival of IS-5 project. They also have an honor of being the only trophy tanks that IDF didn't want to use as tanks. Meanwhile captured T-55 still serve in IDF to this day as basis for several APCs and recovery vehicles. So maybe, just maybe, those things were falling apart the whole time?

  4.  @Ailasher  SU-122, SU-85, SU-100? The first one entered service when M3 already left it. "No, those are assault guns, it's totally different!"

  5.  @phunkracy  tell that to Yuri Pasholok then. And to IDF, who used IS-3 as stationary guns until ammo ran out and abandoned them unlike T-55. T-55>IS-3. Cope harder:P

  6.  @okegom_228  "we are just built different" Yeah, built stupid. Опять школяры уверовавшие в ментовские сказки считают себя Ыкспертами. Ты возьми гантельку весом с гильзу одного из этих орудий и потягай десяток раз. А потом проделай это согнувшись в три погибели в противогазе. Потом пизди дальше.

  7.  @iMost067  "122mm long gun with 75mm short gun"? I presume by long 122mm you mean A-19. What's short 75mm? Kwk 37? Well, I hope you can quote me on comparing A-19 and Kwk 37 as direct analogues then. I'll wait, kiddo.

  8.  @phunkracy  you have better sources? IS-3 is "forced marriage" of IS-2U modernization project with Kirovetz-1 turret. You have proof that it isn't? Be my guest.

  9.  @Kot_04  because it technically did only because it appeared earlier and both tanks de facto were in reserve until their scrapping in 1993 due to political and economical reasons not connected to their actual perfomance.T-10M suffered the same fate despite being objectively awesome and still threatening even nowadays. Thus I treated that as mostly inconsequential. I'll illustrate my reasoning. If you produce T-72B and everything seems alright, you've ironed out the kinks in production, you addressed some existing issues. Now you switch to production of T-72BU aka T-90 that uses different turret(and autoloader), but apart from a few changes the hull remained the same in basic construction process. And suddenly your hulls start causing infinite flood of quality control issues out of nowhere despite all of that and you having more time and resources to allocate to these new vehicles. Tell me, wtf am I supposed to think here? Yes, it was a bumpy road after the war, but war itself was much bumpier.
