 == History ==
-The F-34 was a cannon first developed for the [[T-34 (Family)|T-34]] medium. The gun was designed by P. Muraviev of Vasiliy Grabin's design bureau at Factory No. 92 in Gorky. While the F-34 was superior to the older [[F-32 (76 mm)|F-32]] and [[L-11 (76 mm)|L-11]] from the Kirov Plant in Leningrad, the L-11 was already selected for use in the T-34 because Kirov Plant was politically connected to Marshal Grigory Kulik then-Chief of the Main Artillery Directorate. While Kulik's close ties to Stalin kept most bureaucrats from going against him, Grabin and the director of the Kharkov Locomotive Factory (KhPZ) decided to get their foot in the door by arming the [[T-34 (1941)]] with the F-34 and issuing it platoon and company-level tank commanders. When their praise of the F-34 reached the State Defense Committee (GKO), the gun became authorized for production as the standard-issue gun on the T-34. The gun was more than capable of penetrating German tanks during World War II until the introduction of tanks such as the [[Panther tank (Family)|Panther tank]] and [[Tiger I (Family)|Tiger I]]. However, it was not as accurate as German guns and the cramped, two-man turret reduced the rate of fire to about three rounds per minute. When the newer tanks started showing up, the T-34 was first upgraded to the [[T-34-57]] which had a [[ZIS-2 (57 mm)|ZIS-2]] 57mm gun, but the lack of a good high explosive round led to the further upgrade, the [[T-34-85]] which was armed an adaptation of the 85mm anti-aircraft gun M1935 (52-K) which would arm the T-34 until the end of the war.

-Along with the T-34 tanks, the F-34 gun was used on the [[Pr.1124 (Family)|Pr.1124]] and the [[MBK-161 early|MBK-161]] gunboats. As these river boats were developed by the Red Army instead of the Soviet Navy, they were ordered to reuse existing turrets and were first armed with the turret and 76.2mm [[KT-28 (76 mm)|KT-28]] gun from the [[T-28 (Family)|T-28]] multi-turreted medium tank. However, shortly before World War II began these boats with T-34 turrets which lead to the adoption of the T-34 turrets and thus the cannons from the T-34 such as the F-34. On the PR.1124 and later MBK-161 boats, the turret was modified for increased elevation for providing indirect fire support.
