Dale, your maximum numbers ar eoff by about 50% Most tank armies went to battle with between 400-800 tanks not 250. This would make a tank army only about 1 step lower than its designation would indicate in the West.

Also Bessenov in his memoirs clearly remembers being being assinged 3 JS-2 for spear heading the 4th Tank Armies drive across Poland.
