Hmm, the 1927/USSR gun seems much improved in range. Similar improvements were seen in another episode. So I guess, between the Russian civil war and WW2, USSR did good work on their artillery?

I think that you are right. Indeed, I also get a sense that, in addition to making improvements in things like range, the Soviets also did a lot of work where the quality of steel was concerned. (That, however, is much harder to document.)
