TANK Crew Positions From the inceptual 1933 model, the T-28 was changed many times:

T-28 Model 1938: The short 76.2mm KT-28 was changed for the (a
bit) longer L-10. This gun was in short supply, so if playing after 1938,
Right LMGunner roll 1-12 to have it (unless using Easy 8’s Battle Builder point system).
Loader
Else, use the 1933 model’s gun stats. The engine was also upgraded.
Driver
Commander T-28E Model 1938: Loses against the Finns prompted an increase in
Left LMGunner Gunner armor. Still roll 1-16 to have the “standard” L-10, else, the short KT-28.

T-28 Model 1940: Had conical turrets, otherwise the same as the up-
dated T-28E. (Armor slope has no effect in BGWWII.) Only 12 made.
