Two man turret, no radio until late '42/43, four speed transmission that was rough as guts, no turret cupola for the commander until later models, insufficient armour by late '42, earlier models had atrocious ammunition, models at the start of the invasion often only had ammo for the MG (albeit not a fault with the tank itself), no turret basket, fuel stored in crew compartment alongside the ammunition
Even my TI-83 from highschool is ancient nowadays
and a few other things
I programmed on those
Kids paid me to write them
TI-86 was much better
Also, Panzer IV > T-34. Fite me communists
TI89 is banned for tests
most of these issues were actually noted in pre-war evaluation and were about to be remedied, but the breakout of the war forced them to shelve it
Eventually the T-44 rolled around which is very similar to what they were looking to change the 34 into
And then it was so secret they didn't deploy it until a decade after the war
I hate World of Tanks >:c
You had the T-43 which was kinda-sorta what they were looking at replacing it with

Fun fact, blacks have higher bone density
and lower chance of melanoma

oh god
T-43's evolution was sad
I remember someone arguing on youtube with The Chieftan that the Panzer IV was superior to the M4
The T-34's armor was great at first until the 75mm L/43 arrived on the scene. So they developed a plan to uparmor the hull but maintain the small gun
I WON'T MOVE TO WAR THUNDER!!!!
I would have funded Volkswagon to make the supreme tank.
But by the time it was ready, they already had the IS in the field and wanted a bigger gun for the T-34
And after expending that argument, and after calling everyone morons etc, they said their favourite tank was the T-34/85
@Fulcrum010 do it
and I'm like wut
@Deleted User
nope
Don’t be a bitch
So how about that T-60?
Don't be a sexy bitch
Ok you nerds (except somnio) keep talking about your little boom boom games, i'm gonna go play Witcher
Long 75s P4s didn't really start appearing until the end of 42, so the Sovs had quite the advantage for much longer than people seem to appreciate
Yup, though Zaloga notes that their early tactics of spoonfeeding T-34 units mitigated much of that at first
@Deleted User bye faggot
```i'm gonna go play Witcher```
See you in three months or so
Witcher 1 ahaha
