So one thing that I see in a lot of AH media is that whenever in a POD for a war or major political change happens weaponry used stays the same as OTL.
I'll give a hypothetical example, say the Whites win the Russian Civil War in the early 1920's instead of the Bolsheviks, when you reach 1941 does the Russian army of this ATL still develop and adopt things like T-34s, PPSh's, Il-2's, etc?
They don't have to have the same name mind you, just the same weapon system or something incredibly similar.
I always get this nagging feeling that changing the outcome of a war or making it play out much differently would butterfly away at least some of OTL's military equipment.
