T-34 best tank of all time??? What an ignorant statement.
From Wikipedia:
“The T-34 was a Soviet medium tank that had a profound and lasting effect on the field of tank design. Although its armour and armament were surpassed later in the war, it has been often credited as the most effective, efficient and influential tank design of the Second World War. At its introduction, the T-34 possessed an unprecedented combination of firepower, mobility, protection and ruggedness. Its 76.2 mm (3 in) high-velocity tank gun provided a substantial increase in firepower over any of its contemporaries; its heavy sloped armour was difficult to penetrate by most contemporary anti-tank weapons. First encountered in 1941, German tank general von Kleist at the time called it “the finest tank in the world” and Heinz Guderian confirmed the T-34’s “vast superiority” over existing German armour of the period.”
and knock off the insults, the T-34 was a helluva design.
“T-34 best tank of all time??? What an ignorant statement.”
Well, it was the best tank at that moment for the Russians. It was cheap, easy to build, very good at deflecting fire in the front, and easy to use. But is was made under wartime conditions, in the USSR yet, and the tank crews kept injuring themselves on the crude castings with their sharp edges on the inside and outside!
It kicked American ass in South Korea for a while also.
