"Some F-34 guns were also installed in Lend-Lease M4A2 Sherman tanks, known as the M4M, but there was no need for this conversion as U.S. 75mm ammunition was in good supply." Although I have seen this statement before, it's never been substantiated. I've never seen any evidence for any lend-lease vehicle being re-armed, and in this case the F34 doesn't offer much improvement over the M4A2's 75mm gun. May I suggest this statement be dropped since we may be perpetuating a myth? DMorpheus 15:08, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
The gun in the T-34 picture looks like an F-32. The F-34/Zis-5 has a groove on the side of the mantlet.

There is a typo in Soviet tanks and combat vehicles of World War Two. The projectile is actually F-354 not F-534. Zaloga refers to it correctly in T-34-76 Medium Tank 1941-1945 (1994) at page 41 and Green also calls it correctly in Panther, Germany's Quest for Combat Dominance (2012) at page 75. Also Joseph Page, Tim Bean, Will Fowler – Russian Tanks of World War II, Stalin's Armoured Might (2002) page 90. The F-534 is actually a shell for the 152 mm gun M1910/34.
