Russian Artillery Issues

[Ivan]

This is interesting. The book I'm reading at the moment "Absolute War" states that Russian artillery was a rival for any in the world and very professional and effective. For example during the siege of Leningrad the Russians were able to perform a concert that was broadcast through out Europe. The Germans knew about it and planned on shelling the concert hall, but the Russian artillery commanders predicted this and with an amazingly accurate preemptive strike silenced the German gunners for the duration of the concert. This isn't necessarily at odds with your depiction of course but it has peaked my curiosity to find out more about their tactical ability/flexibility.
