Just because you know does not mean everyone else who does not is an idiot, although someone could assume that a person posting that is themselves an idiot indeed.
I will however bite
That particular image is a Soviet 100-mm BS-3 gun, Berlin, 1945.

According to the NKO order #0050 of 25 December 1944 regiments of BS-3 guns were included in the following antitank brigades:
3rd Guards, 8th, 20th, 41st of the 1st Belorussian Front,
4th, 5th, 13th, 40th of the 2nd Belorussian
7th, 8th, 9th and 10th Guards of the 1st Ukrainian.
The order cancelled the previous order #0046 of 13 November 1944 according to which one BS-3 battery was introduced in each regiment of the brigades listed above. It's easy to see that the new guns were recieved by the fronts situated closer to Berlin and Central Germany. To give an example of actual availability, on 15th April the 8th Antitank Brigade had 24 76-mm guns, 24 57-mm and 16 100-mm, 20th Brigade (on 5th April) - 16 100-mm BS-3s and 48 76-mm guns:
3rd Guards, 8th, 20th, 41st of the 1st Belorussian Front,
4th, 5th, 13th, 40th of the 2nd Belorussian
7th, 8th, 9th and 10th Guards of the 1st Ukrainian.

According to the Zaloga/Ness book the gun went into limited production in May 1944, however only 185 had reached the troops by January 1945 and only 591 had been produced before the war ended. They appear to have been deployed in Antitank Briagdes with a regiment each of 57mm, 76.2mm and 100mm guns, 24, 24 and 16 guns per regiment respectively.

"Sight" You didn't get the joke, did you?
BS-3 was basic of D10S on Su-100 and on turreted tanks D10T whic are commonly called IDIOT in forums as nickname. So, I didn't say you're idiot but it was a tip.
And yes, BS-3 is the right answer. But it will be probaply tomorrow before I write that article.

Yes, "The Red God of War" was pure legend in Eastern Front. The "basic" howitzer was for ruskies was 122mm while others had 105mm!
And The Red Army (and Soviet Army) organised gun batteries in large formations. Having a mix of 76mm Field Guns and 122mm Howitzers in 16 gun sets ^^^
Also they had larger caliper gun's in independt batteries. And there was "Stalin's Organs" mix things up...
And it funny that most countries copied French artillery system (whic was designed for Trench Warfare) and they just made diffrent things to make it more suited for them. BUT it was very unsuited for as strategy and so it was largely used as tactic rather.
Other news: I'm had terrible and quick clean game grind and I was on vacation so article is gonna be late ^^^
P.S: Finns had best artillery in WW2!!!

You don't rate British/Commonwelath methods or guns?
The 25 pdr could be brought into action to fire anywhere in a full 360 degrees.
The organisation to deliver a corps worth of guns - 600 to 1,000 guns fire on a target - "Victor target" - of opportunity and give the authority for such fire to Air Observation Posts.
