Is there any option to send ss my proposition of article (maybe not proposition but ready article) about T-34-57

44 km/h was the maximum speed achievable with the T-28 transmission. In realty, mass produced T-28 only had access to it’s stock engine, which has half of the horsepower of the top engine (which was a prototype, IIRC). That’s why T-28 flies with the top engine, while being sluggish when stock. I think the Winter war config would be: 76 mm gun from T-46, stock engine, tracks and turret.

At this point I’d be almost willing to bet it originated in the often rather irregular shapes of the zones reserved for military shooting ranges and what have you…

Armies work in mysterious ways. It is not only a shooting range, it’s also used for any area where a certain marked-out, controlled environment/space is used for practice of movement or general drills. In Croatian it’s sometimes used for the part of driving lessons which are done out of general traffic.
My guess is that it was named so due to the shape the obstacle course paths used in army training have.

That would be none of those I’m even passingly familiar with.

…how the Hell did a geometry term end up with that meaning in Central/Eastern European languages anyway?

That’s in the context of around, what, 1930 or so (the cooperative research and testing stopped rather abruptly in ’33 for obvious reasons). T-28 was manufactured, used and improved for almost a decade after the Grosstraktor was dead and buried; debugging “external” bits like the suspension and its component parts oughta been among the easiest modifications.

“Such as the roadwheel design and as a result, T-28 – although stable – was not capable of going as fast on the road as the German design, a fact that is pointed out in the abovementioned correspondence.”

Wait… it wasn’t capable of going as fast on the road as the German design?..
Ingame, the T-28 can get to it’s 44(i think)speed limit really fast… So is the speed over-buffed ingame?

PS: is the new ASAP up yet SS? :)
