By 1942, the [[F-34 (76 mm)]] of the [[T-34 (1941)]] variant was found to be lacking in various fields, such as with penetration and range, especially when compared to the 75 mm anti-tank guns of the later [[Pz.IV (Family)]] variants and of the later [[StuG III (Family)]] variants. This inferiority was made especially noticeable when compared to the [[KwK36 (88 mm)]] anti-tank conversion of the original anti-air [[Flak.37 (88 mm)]], fitted onto the [[Tiger H1]] and [[Tiger E]] tanks. Due to this predicament, military planners directed the design bureaus of General Vasily Grabin and Fyodor Petrov to modify the anti-air gun of the M1939 (52-K) for use as an anti-tank.

The Pretov bureau developed the D-5 85 mm gun from the original anti-air design. Initially, the gun was too large for the turrets of the [[T-34 (1941)]], but efforts were conducted to redesign the turret to accommodate the increased size of the new gun. On the other hand, with some modifications to the chassis of the [[SU-122]], the gun was fitted into the tank-destroyer and was set int production. The modified tank would be renamed to the [[SU-85]]. Meanwhile, the Vasiliy Grabin was working on his own version of the anti-air gun, called the [[ZIS-S-53 (85 mm)]]. After testing of both variants at the Gorokhoviesky Proving Grounds, Grabin's gun won the competition. Unfortunately, the T-34's new turret design could not fit the [[ZIS-S-53 (85 mm)]], only being able to accommodate the already-available D-5 design. Therefore, the [[T-34-85 (D-5T)]] went into production with the D-5 anti-tank gun, designated the D-5T. All models from 1944 onwards were fitted with the [[ZIS-S-53 (85 mm)]] gun, known as the [[T-34-85]].

Description

The 85 mm D-5 is a Soviet tank cannon. An anti-tank modification of the 85 mm 52-K anti-aircraft cannon, it was mounted to the chassis of the SU-122 and originally intended to be fitted into the turret of the T-34, before being replaced by the ZIS-S-53. The cannon was designated D-5T when mounted in tanks, while tank destroyer mounts were designated D-5S (Samokhodnaya: "self-propelled").

Comparison with analogues

Give a comparative description of cannons/machine guns that have firepower equal to this weapon.

Usage in battles

Describe the cannon/machine gun in the game - its distinctive features, tactics of usage against notable opponents. Please don't write a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • The BR-365K APHE shell can take out early Panther tanks (VK, D, A) by ricocheting from the gun mantlet down into the thin top

Cons:

History

Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/ History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />.
