The T-34 was a Soviet medium tank which had a profound and permanent effect on the fields of tank tactics and design. First deployed in 1940, it has often been described as the most effective, efficient, and influential tank design of World War 2.
the T-34 possessed the best balance of firepower, mobility, protection, and ruggedness of any tank (though its initial battlefield effectiveness suffered due to a variety of factors).
Specifications for all models.
T-34 Tanks
Type : Medium Tank
Weapons : From 57 to 85
Armor Type : Sloped
Strong : Flanker, Hit and Run , Speed
Weakness : Horrible Muzzle Velocity Power , Side had ammo storage problems
Easily to get burned due to large amount of fuel tanks.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For that The first T-34 1940 L11 was the finest tank of all.
Good speed, Runs well , good sloped armor and decent gun.
T-34 1940 L11 Kirov
(Early Medium Tank)
Pros : High Speed 450 Horsepower at 2050 RPM,Good Flanking against tank destroyer,Sloped armor does deflect normalization.
Cons : Not strong enough for its Muzzle Velocity , Early 1940 gun wont be worked against Heavy Tanks , Fuel Tank is so large that a smaller gun can cause fire , Ammo Storage is Prone to damage, Crew is horribly gone wrong unconscious.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A 1941 Model is now more improved what it had being called as newer firepower. The 76mm F34.
The same model as 1940 but replaced with newer gun of the F34.
T-34 1941 76mm F-34
(Later Medium Tank)
Pros : Now with 76mm F34, It has more greater muzzle velocity, Newer breech improves the reload rate for the crew. More ammo capacity because of smaller 76mm F-34
Cons : Nothing much of it , Its just only the same as the 1940 L11. Only to replace with newer gun.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They were lots of complaints about the T-34 1940 and 1941. Smaller interior and weak armor on main turret. Chelyabinsk had solve the problem. The T-34 1942 had a slight modification on the new hull and turret.
T-34/76 1942 Chelyabinsk
(Modified Medium Tank)
Pros : Strong Cast Hexagonal-Turret has more up-armored, Newer engine, crew can able to reload faster due to bigger turret.
Cons : The same problem as the ancestors of all T-34. But with the new turret, this tank is somewhat marginally slow.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When German tanks had its more up-gunned power against the T-34, those Russian tanks with the same 76mm F34 were completely hopeless against newer tanks like Tiger I . To add this, The weapons manufacturer had put the thin like 57mm Zis-4 that had used for Anti-tank Gun, which surprise the enemy.
The Gun Velocity were so high that a 57mm Zis-4 Had Managed to penetrate at least 122mm Thickness.
Fewer than 324 T-34s in 1941 and 1943–44 were fitted with the ZiS-4 or the ZIS-4M high-velocity 57 mm gun to be used as tank hunters
T-34/57
(1943 Model)
Pros : Fitted with even more powerful 57mm Zis-4 were better than 76mm F-34, Terrific Reloading.
Cons : But to demise of its old turret , its back to the old 1941 and 1942 T-34.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T-34 Mod/57 Mod 1943 is an improved version of the Kirov Turreted T-34/57.
T-34/57 Mod. 1943
(1943 Model)
Pros : With Hexagonal Turret. Even more better reloading due to large Turret.
Cons : Its the same thing from normal T-34
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the Prototype T-34. The T-34E
The T-34 modification produced by factory N.122 , equipped with 10mm additional Armor Shielding.
T-34/E
(Shielded Medium Tank)
Pros : Covered with every inch of 10mm armor, This tank had improved armor.
Cons : Although this tank has a shield, Its still can get penetrated by any tanks with 80mm more.
With this shield this tank is abit slower.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger Ausf H1 Caused a chaos around the Russia Front, T-34 from 57 to 76mm gun is hopeless against them. To do this,they designed a medium tank which to fight against those Heavy tanks. The T-34-85 (D-5T) was risen from the design to fight against Tiger Ausf H1. Its large turret had somehow still can able to turn fast.
T-34 Mod.85 D-5T
(Early D-5T Type)
Pros : Newer T-34-85 Turret had now even well armored, 85mm D-5T has now outstanding velocity, but not as great as Tiger Ausf H1. New engine somehow this tank can goes even faster.
Cons : The reload is going to be abit long as those 85mm shells are quite large, Added fuel tanks near the engine is another petrol to get burned, Armor is same like its from T-34 1940. Ammo Storage from turret is now another C4 bomb waiting to get detonated.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The crew complaints that a D-5T Tank gun had an exposed gun breech that caused to get destroyed easily by an simple 75mm tank gun. Now a newer so-called turret on the gun mantlet has now covered the gun and also this 85mm is now upgraded to be known as 85mm Zis-S-53. Its gun defines pure power to Tiger I Ausf H1.
T-34 Mod.85
(Late Zis-S-53 Type)
Pros : Upgraded gun makes the reload and firepower all combined mixed its sheer power.
Cons : Just the same as D-5T but this S-53 is a little bit improved of reload rate.
Same thing as the earlier T-34-85 (D-5T)
