T-70s knocking out Panthers

[edit]

One of the anecdotes provided in this article is a gross distortion of the facts. There was indeed a Hero of the Soviet Union named Pegov who took out two panther tanks, but his name was really Grigoriy Ivanovich Pegov, he was a junior lieutenant (not a sergeant) in the 5th Guards Tank Army, 31st Brigade (not the 3rd Guards), the battle took place in October of 1944 (not February) and he was commanding a platoon of T-34s at the time, not a lone T-70. His crew is indeed credited with knocking out two Panthers, as well as 3 guns, a mortar battery and two half-tracks, capturing 25 other vehicles and wagons, and killing or wounding 150 soldiers and officers of the enemy. He may or may not have used APCR, but it would have been in a different calibre than this wikipedia article insinuates.

Below you will find a photo-facsimile of the decree for his award. https://podvignaroda.ru/filter/filterimage?path=VS/001/033-0793756-0036/00000470.jpg https://podvignaroda.ru/?#id=46761542&tab=navDetailManAward

The other story, of Boris Vladislavovich Pavlovich, also turns out to be a story of a T-34 commander and not a T-70.

SU-76M

[edit]

"Curiously, even after the T-70's production line was redesigned, SU-76 self-propelled guns started to be built with the same unsatisfactory unsynchronized two-engine layout, and all of them were later recalled for factory rebuilding as SU-76Ms"

That is not what the article on the vehicle itself says. It says the original SU-76 had two engines driving a common shaft which caused resonance and mechanical failure. It says nothing about independent engines driving different tracks. It's not clear what it is talking about, but it's obviously not that. Idumea47b (talk) 20:02, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
