Enlisted 2.0 (kind of unrealistic)

In reality, armor often suffered from bad quality to the point where the Germans still could penetrate the armor because the armor couldn’t hold, slopped armor has the disadvantage that it makes the interiors smaller, makes the crew easier to kill, most tanks had no radios, only four crew members/ overtasked commander and gunner, awful suspension (system) and in general next to no crew comfort. Not to mention that the crew were mostly recruits who lacked training.
Iiirc most confirmed destroyed, knocked out or disabled T-34s in the first winters were caused by Panzer IIIs (Around 50%).

@SexyTent

Still, it is surprising that the Germans were ahead in kill rate. What could have made them do so?

Better reliability (that was before they turned mad and created technological abominations), more experienced crews, partly better logistics in the first phase, and better research, and also the Soviets in general suffered from shocked and undermanned leadership and lack of communication.

When the T-34 first appeared, wikipedia says that it outperformed the German No. 4 tank in performance

When t34 first appeared aganaist german, Wehrmacht was fielding pz3 and p4E who both already have problem aganaist the bt7

@SexyTent

It also says that the existence of the T-34 motivated Germany to design the Panther and Tiger.

I would say it dont was for the tank itself because if we look the kv1 was a better tank, but because german try to counter soviet spam with quality

Also german was leading in K/D for what @CaptainSebekel said already and simply because the stug was too good in do his job as tank killer there was no tank who the stug cant kill

Thank you all for your kind attention. Thanks to you, I now know a lot more about the relationship between the T-34 and German tanks.
