So meaby beter is left them as front units because as we can read they wer intensive use on the front during campaign in poland in 1939 as i read in my book they fight in tank unit in the direction to Brest-Litvovsk and than in 1941 against germans during barbarossa. 11 of them was in 1941 on the Far East what sugesst they surrive first german wave and meaby last Su-5 were used last time during desperate days near Moscov?
Blaze, that source you quoted says there were only 3 vehicles made of the third version of the "SU-5"

SU-5-1 (76,2 mm gun M1902/30) (1934-35) - 6 units built
SU-5-2(122mm howitzer M1910/30) (1937) - 6(?) units built
SU-5-3 (152,4 mortar M1931) (1934) - 3 units built"
Total number: 15 units, according to other source - 28-30 units (including 24 SU-5-2)
So were do you get "SU-5 in third versions were produced in big number (in the comprasion to another prototypes 15 to 30 pices) "

Nothing says there were more than 3. The highest number of vehicles made was the SU-5-2 with 6 and maybe as many as 24 so from what I see the SU-5-2, which I have kept in the regular formations was the vehicle actually used and the other two were not and those I've put into their own "Experimental" formation in the game under MISC and people can use them.... or not.....at their own discretion.
