This is the most bloody stubborn practical sys-admin like conduct of war and ops of which I have ever read.
Tanks are cool, but planes are more mobile: should we just use planes? Nyet! Add rotor; is now flying tank!
Reuse calibers? Nyet! Dumb peasant Ivan can confuse 120mm howitzer with mortar with tank round--better to just have different calibers and avoid that entire logistics problem entirely!
Mortars can be made of steel and rifled, and have twice the accuracy: can we use those? Nyet! Build ten mortars for price of one fancy-pants mortar, get 5 times the accuracy!
