Name

Iirc. the 2A56 is also called D-81TM. This would show a relationship towards the D-10T tank gun of the T-54/55. --Tim.vogt (talk) 18:05, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Should the article name make reference to the D-81 instead?

Since the 2A46 and its descendants (2A46M, 2A82, etc) are based on the 2A26, all of which are part of the D-81 family of 125 mm guns. One could consider using this more general (albeit lesser-known) name which more appropriately covers the early and later lineage of the gun design, which "2A46" doesn't show.
