Talk:T-38 tank

Untitled

Sorry, but on image is not T-38. IMHO T-38 had turnet on left side. This is T-37 with turnet on right side. 11:20, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Checked my source; you are right. —Michael Z. 2005-11-15 14:49 Z

Well spotted, Cinik. Looks like the museum got it wrong too, as the sign in front of the tank definitely called it a T-37... -- ChrisO 22:16, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

37mm FlaK

The article references German T-38s mounting a 37mm flak gun. I've never seen any reference to this before, and it seems highly unlikely. The 37mm flak was mounted on 8-ton halftracks and 23-ton Panzer-IVs. I don't see how it could have been mounted on a 3-ton T-38. Does anyone have a solid reference on this?

After a brief wait of ten-and-a-half years I have removed that uncited content. Aside from the lack of citation, frankly I don't think a 37mm flak would even fit on a T-38. DMorpheus2 (talk) 18:25, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

Allocation

The article says: Infantry battalions were each issued 38 T-38s. That's hardly possible. Or does that phrase refer only to the Kiev maneuvers ? Anyway, I vaguely remember reading somewhere that these tanks were issued to recon battalions of infantry divisions, 16 (?) each. Bukvoed 14:50, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
