Regarding SU-5, I see it had three Version, 76mm, 122mm and 152mm, which type normally did Soviet army field it in 1941 ?
And T-26 Twin turret is something like Polish Vicker E Twin MG model ? Thank

The SU-5 122 mm was produced in 30 units, the other two were only prototypes. I was of the understanding that the SU-5 served mainly in the Far East.

Hi, Jeff, yes, u are Right. SU-5 76mm and 152mm only had one each, so biggest Chance is 122mm.Jeff Leach wrote: ↑06 Mar 2020, 14:22The SU-5 122 mm was produced in 30 units, the other two were only prototypes. I was of the understanding that the SU-5 served mainly in the Far East.
