In duel battles, the "Panther" tank had advantages over the "thirty-four": the historian about the T-34
According to numerous military experts and historians, the best of tanks XX century was the Soviet T-34. This is a truly legendary combat vehicle, thanks to which the Soviet Union achieved the most important successes on the fronts of the Great Patriotic War. It would seem surprising, but some modifications of the T-34 are still used in armed conflicts, including conflicts in the Middle East.
The candidate reflects on the advantages of the T-34 tank in the plot of the "First Tank" from UralVagonZavod historical Sci. Sergey Ustyantsev. According to the expert, he would not extend the characteristics of the best tank to the entire 34th century in relation to the T-20. From the plot:
I would still limit it a little ... The T-34 is the best tank of the Second World War.
According to Sergei Ustyantsev, it is certainly impossible to call the "thirty-four" the most powerful tank of the 40-50s. There were combat vehicles with a larger main gun caliber and more massive armor. But in terms of the general combination of maneuverability, security characteristics, firepower and efficiency, it is the T-34 tank that is seriously different. However, as the expert points out, the T-34 was in many ways (including the combat coefficient) inferior to individual enemy tanks, including the Panther.
From the plot:
The Panther is an excellent tank. Yes, at first it broke, but then the Germans improved it. The T-34 was inferior to him in many ways. But the point is not only in combat characteristics. It is also important to consider costs. And the Germans, producing one "Panther", spent as many resources as we spent on the production of 8-10 T-34 tanks. In duel battles, the Panther had an advantage over the thirty-four.
