Paul Ludwig Ewald von Kleist called it “the finest tank in the world”
Guderian affirmed the T-34’s “vast superiority” over German tanks
the russians manufactured tanks in different factories, so good tanks could come out as well as bad ones, there was no quality control
The most spammed tank in the world

T-34 was totall shit. Americians bought them 2 times for testing. Before and after major design fixes. Both batches were horrible. By design and production. It just didnt f work like anything that janks would consider to use or copy. Bc it didnt work at all on any f level.
Myth was made by soviet propaganda during the war when they needed morale boost and also after when they wanted to sell this crap to other countries.
I wouldnt belive to nazi generals and commanders who find them self after war without job or close to that. Books and diaries they wrote were just for money. Epic story of struggle against supirior enemy hordes usually is beter salling one. Also it gives convenient explanation why ubermenschen lost. ,Even with such a great tactician/tank ace like me on their side".
(42) The T-34 is not as good as you think it is - YouTube
LazerPig sometims oversimplifies but its nice to listen. And whole story is well told.
reds could have used all that steel to production of buckets and then thrown it at the nazis. The effect would be the same xd

Wow, it seems we have a great military historian who has worked out the ultimate secret that the German tank aces, the Heereswaffenamt staff officers who wrote the operational booklet, the German generals, the Soviet engineers who designed the tanks, the Soviet leaders who approved the tanks for production and the NATO tank designers who went to great lengths to counter the Soviet tank designs failed to discover --The Soviet tank was useless shit!
Let us applaud and cheer, this will be a major discovery in history and engineering! This will be called the RaFaTuS theorem!
Ridiculous.

I am a history student and I am close to having my title
the guy believes that youtube is a reliable source
wtf historian can know about war xd? Most myths are implicated to sociaty by ,historians" who dont have f speciality in subject they talking about.
I can brag too, that Iam f absolvent of military academy and you cant check it as well
I gave you youtube video bc I musnt share classified documents how about that?
Wait, there are not classified…every single nuber from war tells us t34 was f shit. BECAUSE MOST OF TANKS WERE SHIT IN EARLY DEVELOPMENT STAGE OF ARMORED WARFARE. What history title gives you knowlage that it wasnt like that? You didnt study f evry war in this region to know how win next. Bc maybe its something that I do as a part of my job? How many hours you spended to optain knowlage about russian tanks? Like really, what from that I have said wasnt obwious or at least quite likely to happend, knowing how war went, and how soviets waged it? Or maybe you belive that war started in 1941 like a certain group of people living in Eastern Europe? What next, you will say that Stalin was a hero and Russia needs such men? Its quite popular opinion nowadays xd.
Hope you can complete an excellent dissertation and get your degree, good luck!

That was the mantra when the Germans first invaded the USSR but I didnt took them that long.
Heck, 50% of the T-34s were destroyed by Panzer IIIs.
Overall shit.

The Germans bascially need less than a year to counter the best tank in the world while the Soviets needed three years+ to decrease the drastic explodium rate of the best tank in the world.
Most of these statements were early Barbarossa statements irrc, anything else proofs the Germans had no clue about their own data.
Dude, have you seen what else the Soviets approved? T-34 was simply not as awful as those mechanical abominations such as the T-28 which were outdated since the end of WW1.
If their tanks were eventually able to counter shitty Tigers and Tiger IIs and Panthers I highly doubt that they needed to invent entire new design to counter T-34s. And the NATO spent their ressources and time for ywars to counter aging war tank which would be obviously and eventually replaced by far better tanks, for sure. The Centurion was definitly invented to trigger the Russians and was too bad at it (theoretically).

No, the centurion was designed to withstand shell fired from the tiger 1 88MM gun, check Wikipedia
Only the tank gun L7 105MM was design to specificly penerate and destroy T54 and 55
This is what people call sarcasm.
Iirc we were mainly talking about the glorious T-34.
