Default Re: Lead with sprocket or idler while operating (R/C?)

With this all being said, why do some tanks have a front drive sprocket and some have a rear drive sprocket? Most tanks prior to 1940 had a front drive sprocket. The Russians were the first to use rear drive sprockets to my knowledge-T-34. Was it just a lack of knowledge about the tracks and their characteristics?
