Guderian disagrees with you and said the T-34 was much better than the German tanks. Speed, mobility, simplicity, reliability and firepower were all there.

It’s not a big dispute expect for those who think everything Germans made was superior

Guderian was talking about German armor AT THE TIME which was the PanzerKampfWagen Mk-III and Mk-IV which had 30mm frontal armor compared to the T-34 47mm. The T-34 also has sloped armor giving it an effective 55mm penetration factor. The Panther mimic’d this and was far superior in protection. Their drive train was a different story...
