If it works right the first time, it's because you've already done it. It's easy to pick fault in hindsight. But innovation isn't easy and these were incredibly skilled and intelligent people... Who had to learn from their mistakes like anyone else. Heck, in 1939 turret fighters made sense 😂

@arthas640 I think your applying facts from later in the cold war to this design. The Soviets didn't lack brain power. Quite the opposite. They used trial and error to learn how to develop new cutting edge technology. That's how the west did it as well. Applying stereotypes is fine. But you can easily go too far. There is a simple rule of engineering. If you did it right the first time, it's because you've already done it.
