Thus, the supply of 100-millimeter high-explosive shells-though less effective-may at least be easy to source. And stores of 100-millimeter shells compatible with the D-10T likely haven’t been as extensively tapped as standard Russian 122- and 152-millimeter artillery shells. That said, the T-54’s 100-millimeter D10T gun (introduced in World War II on the turretless Su-100 tank destroyer) is not as valuable as the modern 125-millimeter 2A46 tank guns used on modern Russian tanks. So, tanks dedicated to artillery missions will wear through their valuable gun barrels much more quickly than purpose-built howitzers.
Purpose-design howitzers and field guns, however, don’t need so much armor-penetrating velocity, and are built for much longer barrel lives. Play icon The triangle icon that indicates to play
