Although the total weight of the T-22 Tank at 23.7 tons barely entered the category of medium tanks during the World War II period, in an era where other countries' tanks were underdeveloped, a weight around 20 tons was already colossal among tanks, a superb weapon of destruction on the battlefield.
And the T-22A tank, which was a full upgrade in firepower and armor based on the T-22 tank, was indeed the heavy tank that this era dictated.
The total weight of the T-22A tank reached 29.7 tons, which, rounded up, was virtually no different from 30 tons; it was a full 6 tons heavier than the T-22 tank and significantly larger in size.
This additional 6 tons were entirely allocated to the upgrades in firepower, armor, and power.
Firstly in terms of firepower, the T-22A tank was no longer equipped with the 75mm semi-automatic artillery but had been upgraded to the currently latest model M1922 127mm howitzers.
