Additional Information

the T-34, a Soviet medium tank, had a profound and lasting impact on the design of the tank. At the time of its introduction in 1940, the T-34 possessed an unprecedented combination of firepower, mobility, protection, and durability. Its 76.2 mm high-speed tank gun provided a substantial increase in firepower compared to any of its contemporaries, while its well-beveled armor was difficult to access by most modern anti-tank weapons. When it was first encountered in 1941, German General Paul Ludwig Ewald von Kleist called it "the best tank in the world" and Heinz Guderian affirmed the t-34's "tremendous superiority" over existing German armor of the period. < / p> < p>Although its armor and armament were surpassed later in the war, it is often considered the most effective, efficient, and influential tank structure of world war II.< / p>
