The T-34 was originally armed with a 76 mm gun; this was upgraded to a higher-velocity 76 mm gun then finally to an 85 mm gun in a bigger turret.
The SU-85, SU-122 and SU-100 were all self-propelled guns mounted on the chassis of the T-34. The SU-85 and the later SU-100 mounted high-velocity guns and were designed for anti-tank work. The SU-122 mounted the lower-velocity 122 mm M-30 howitzer, and was mainly used as battlefield assault artillery against infantry.

The T-28 was an older tank reaching the end of its production in 1940.
The KV-1 was armed with a 76 mm gun; as with the T-34, the length of the gun was increased during production. The KV-2 used the same hull as the KV-1 but was armed with a 152 mm howitzer in a huge turret. KV-85 was a KV-1 fitted with an 85 mm gun. KV-8 was a flamethrower version.
The KV-1S was a version of the KV-1 with lighter armour (making it more mobile) and a new turret (still with a 76 mm gun).
The SU-152 was a 152 mm howitzer on a KV hull. Like the KV-2 it was intended for use as an assault weapon against infantry.
The IS-1 was fitted with an 85 mm gun (in the same turret used in the KV-85). it was soon replaced by the IS-2 which had a high velocity 122 mm gun.
The ISU-122 and ISU-152 were self propelled guns on an IS hull. They were both used as assault guns; the ISU-122 was also useful as an anti-tank weapon because of its high velocity 122 mm gun.
