military history IS a hobby of mine!

Tah, yes I do have a good memory, I am very impressed by Russia's capacity as a nation. Youse old Vikings youse.

The DP (2nd only to the Czech based LMG's -> Bren), the SKS and AK, and the PPsh, all with chromed barrels! Now as agrunt I think that's thoughtful. NTF the KV and the T34, and the SU76, etc, etc, the PE2, the Mig 3, and the Yaks. My Dad had a friend who flew with the Normandie Niemen squadron, but mostly in France 1944 onwards.

I have actually read the (translated) Luftwffe order saying that FW190's and Me109's were not to dogfight certain Yakovlevs, with the cooler that stuck out(?) The Yak 3 I think, and all subsequents. I woulda wanted to be in a Spit9 or 14 (Griffon eng.) minimum if engaging a Yak.

Do you know if there is any good English language site on USSR artillery, during WWII. I have looke pretty hard. There was this medium gun, no shield, with obvious vertical twin cylinder balancing gear (one per side of the barrel) just forward of the trunnions, sorta like the British 5.5"!? Was it a 122 gun, or howitzer, or a gun/howitzer like the 152?

NVA's 122mm guns could outrange most our arty in 'Nam. except for the 17mm gun, but you can'r put one of them in every FSB.

OT I would be interestetd to know whether your RIAA stges apply the 50K to point as per Allen Wright's writings? Mine has TDP's Bass alignment a slight boost @~ 25, and >15 db down by 10 hz. We added the 50K idea later, seems slightly more airy and sweet.

I still use this 'basically RCA' circuit, two 12ax7's eiether side of passive RIAA plus a tranny in front. with agood zero volt ref PSU with its own ground plane, it is acceptably quiet.
