IKnow it's larger but I have heard that the Soviets had to make that choice to match the German's in technological superiority of tank round design.

www.tarrif.net has some great insight into these guns and their armor penetration.
didnt want to get into the gun/armour thing just wantet to explain it from a former RL tankers perspective on crew stuf

About guns i think its hard unless you look at pure tank destroyers. The HE round from the 85 do pack a better punch to assist infantry, but do lack abit penetrating power, its all about what you need/want....

To make sure i dont come out Russian biassed my favorite tank is not realy a tank, but my favorite one is the jagdpanther with the stug G right after....lol....back in ww2 online i was a pure stug G driver lol...
