I was reading through a TO&E listing and a guards tank brigade was converted from T-34/85 to Shermans. At first it looked crazy but the Sherman was known for it's reliability and if you broke through the Shermans could be used to exploit the breakthrough. |

The Soviets used hundreds of BTs and T-26s Manchuria in 1945. There was also a T-26 equipped regiment still slugging it out in Finland in 1944. Gamers I suspect the T-34 to Sherman was purely a logistics exercise. Not uncommon to standardise or degrade units to meet logistics requirement. Eg even in the 1950s there were ANG units that switched from jets to P-51s! |
