II">World War II</a>. When introduced, its 76.2 mm (3 in) <a href="/wiki/Tank_gun" title="Tank gun">tank gun</a> was more powerful than many of its contemporaries,<a href="#cite_note-9">[8]</a> and its 60-degree <a href="/wiki/Sloped_armour" title="Sloped armour">sloped armour</a> provided good protection against <a href="/wiki/Anti-tank_warfare" title="Anti-tank warfare">anti-tank weapons</a>. The T-34 had a profound effect on the conflict on the <a href="/wiki/Eastern_Front_(World_War_II)" title="Eastern Front (World War II)">Eastern Front</a>, and had a long-lasting impact on tank design. The tank was praised by multiple German generals when encountered during <a href="/wiki/Operation_Barbarossa" title="Operation Barbarossa">Operation Barbarossa</a>, although its armour and armament were surpassed later in the war. Its main strength was its cost and production time, meaning that German panzer forces would often fight against Soviet tank forces several times their own size. The T-34 was also a critical part of the mechanized divisions that formed the backbone of the <a href="/wiki/Deep_operation" title="Deep operation">deep battle strategy</a>. The T-34 was the mainstay of the Soviet <a href="/wiki/Red_Army" title="Red Army">Red Army</a> <a href="/wiki/Armoured_warfare" title="Armoured warfare">armoured forces</a> throughout the war. Its general specifications remained nearly unchanged until early 1944, when it received a firepower upgrade with the introduction of the greatly improved T-34-85 variant. Its production method was continuously refined and rationalized to meet the needs of the Eastern Front, making the T-34 quicker and cheaper to produce. The Soviets ultimately built over 80,000 T-34s of all variants, allowing steadily greater numbers to be fielded despite the loss of tens of thousands in combat against the German <a href="/wiki/Wehrmacht" title="Wehrmacht">Wehrmacht</a>.<a href="#cite_note-10">[9]</a> Replacing many <a href="/wiki/Light_tank" title="Light tank">light</a> and medium tanks in <a href="/wiki/Red_Army" title="Red Army">Red Army</a> service, it was the most-produced tank of the war, as well as the second most-produced tank of all time (after its successor, the <a href="/wiki/T-54/T-55" title="T-54/T-55">T-54/T-55</a> series).<a href="#cite_note-ReferenceA-11">[10]</a> With 44,900 lost or damaged during the war, it also suffered the most tank losses ever.<a href="#cite_note-Kirosheev_253-12">[11]</a> Its development led directly to the <a href="/wiki/T-44" title="T-44">T-44</a>, then the <a href="/wiki/T-54/T-55" title="T-54/T-55">T-54 and T-55 series</a> of tanks, which in turn evolved into the later <a href="/wiki/T-62" title="T-62">T-62</a>, that form the armoured core of many modern armies.

Leak issues were noted: "In a heavy rain lots of water flows through chinks/cracks, which leads to the disabling of the electrical equipment and even the ammunition".<a href="#cite_note-Aberdeen-51">[48]</a> Earlier models of the T-34, until the Model 1942, had cast turrets whose armour was softer than that of the other parts of the tank, and offered poor resistance even to 37 mm anti-aircraft shells. Early T-34s also suffered from poor quality welds, leading to instances of shells which would not have penetrated the tank under normal circumstances to penetrate anyway. They also suffered from rushed manufacturing, leading to inconsistent protection.<a href="#cite_note-:2-52">[49]</a> In addition, close examination of the T-34 at the Aberdeen Testing Ground showed that a variety of alloys were used in different portions of the armour on the T-34. "<a href="/wiki/Manganese" title="Manganese">Mn</a>-<a href="/wiki/Silicon" title="Silicon">Si</a>-<a href="/wiki/Molybdenum" title="Molybdenum">Mo</a> steels were employed for the thinner rolled armour sections, <a href="/wiki/Chromium" title="Chromium">Cr</a>-Mo steels for the thicker rolled armour sections, Mn-Si-<a href="/wiki/Nickel" title="Nickel">Ni</a>-Cr-Mo steels were employed for both rolled and cast steel components from 2" to 5" in thickness, and Ni-Cr-Mo steels were employed for some of the moderately thick cast armour sections".<a href="#cite_note-53">[50]</a> The armour was heat-treated in order to prevent penetration by armour-piercing shells, but this also caused it to be structurally weak, as the armor was very hard and thus brittle, resulting in strikes by high explosive shells causing <a href="/wiki/Spall" title="Spall">spalling</a>.<a href="#cite_note-:2-52">[49]</a> Despite these deficiencies, the T-34's armour proved problematic for the Germans in the initial stages of the war on the Eastern Front. In one wartime account, a single T-34 came under heavy fire upon encountering one of the most common German anti-tank guns at that stage of the war: "Remarkably enough, one determined <a href="/wiki/PaK_37mm" class="mw-redirect" title="PaK 37mm">37 mm gun</a> crew reported firing 23 times against a single T-34 tank, only managing to jam the tank’s turret ring."<a href="#cite_note-S._Zaloga_1994,_p._12-54">[51]</a> Similarly, a German report of May 1942 noted the ineffectiveness of their <a href="/wiki/5_cm_Pak_38" title="5 cm Pak 38">50 mm gun</a> as well, noting that "Combating the T-34 with the 5 cm KwK tank gun is possible only at short ranges from the flank or rear, where it is important to achieve a hit as perpendicular to the surface as possible."<a href="#cite_note-RussianBattlefield2000-31">[29]</a> However, a Military Commissariat Report of the 10th Tank Division, dated 2 August 1941 reported that within 300–400 m the 37 mm Pak 36's armour-piercing shot could defeat the frontal armour.<a href="#cite_note-55">[52]</a><a href="#cite_note-56">[53]</a> According to an examination of damaged T-34 tanks in several repair workshops in August to September 1942, collected by the People's Commissariat for Tank Industry in January 1943, 54.3% of all T-34 losses were caused by the German long-barreled <a href="/wiki/5_cm_KwK_39" title="5 cm KwK 39">5 cm KwK 39</a> gun.<a href="#cite_note-57">[54]</a><a href="#cite_note-58">[55]</a> As the war went on, the T-34 gradually lost some of its initial advantages.

An evaluation of the tank was conducted by the US which found that the sloped armour of the T-34 was desirable for deflecting shells. They also concluded that the armour was deemed as satisfactory as armour strength was comparable to US armour of similar hardness and that the quality of the material used was "high-grade". Similarly, casting was seen as high quality although casting defects were found in the side armour of the tank that negatively affected armour strength. The abundance of gaps in the joints of the armour was seen as an undesirable feature of the tank due to the risk of injury from "entry of bullet splash and shell fragments".<a href="#cite_note-67">[64]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Firepower">Firepower</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=T-34&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Firepower">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:T-34-76_RB6.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a0/T-34-76_RB6.JPG/220px-T-34-76_RB6.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a0/T-34-76_RB6.JPG/330px-T-34-76_RB6.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a0/T-34-76_RB6.JPG/440px-T-34-76_RB6.JPG 2x" data-file-width="2048" data-file-height="1536" /></a><figcaption>T-34 side view, displaying the F-34 gun, with an <a href="/wiki/ISU-122" title="ISU-122">ISU-122</a> and <a href="/wiki/T-54/T-55" title="T-54/T-55">T-54</a> in background</figcaption></figure> The 76.2 mm (3.00 in) <a href="/wiki/F-34_tank_gun" class="mw-redirect" title="F-34 tank gun">F-34</a> gun, fitted on the vast majority of T-34s produced through to the beginning of 1944, was able to penetrate any early German tank's armour at normal combat ranges.

The 85 mm gun could penetrate the turret front of a Tiger I tank from 500 m (550 yd) and the driver's front plate from 300 m (330 yd) at the side angle of 30 degrees, and the larger turret enabled the addition of another crew member, allowing the roles of commander and gunner to be separated and increasing the rate of fire and overall effectiveness.<a href="#cite_note-Jentz_and_Doyle_1993:19–20-75">[72]</a> The D-5T was capable of penetrating the Tiger I's upper hull armour at 1,000 metres.<a href="#cite_note-tankarchives.ca-76">[73]</a> When firing on the frontal armour of the Panther at an angle of 30 degrees sidewards, the T-34-85 could not penetrate its turret at 500 m (550 yd).<a href="#cite_note-Jentz_1995:128-61">[58]</a> [<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_clarify" title="Wikipedia:Please clarify">further explanation needed</a>] This meant that the T-34 would have to resort to using <a href="/wiki/Tungsten" title="Tungsten">tungsten</a> rounds or firing on the weaker sides of the Panther to destroy it.<a href="#cite_note-77">[74]</a> The greater length of the 85 mm gun barrel – 4.645 m (15 ft 2.9 in) – made it necessary for crews to be careful not to plough it into the ground on bumpy roads or in combat. Tank commander A.K. Rodkin commented: "the tank could have dug the ground with it in the smallest ditch [filling the barrel with dirt]. If you fired it after that, the barrel would open up at the end like the petals of a flower", destroying the barrel. Standard practice when moving the T-34-85 cross-country in non-combat situations was to fully elevate the gun, or reverse the turret.<a href="#cite_note-78">[75]</a> During the Korean War, the USA captured a T-34-85.

In the first batch of T-34s, shifting from 2nd to 3rd required a force of 46-112 kg. In September 1941, however, changes were made which lowered the effort to under 31 kg by changing the 3rd gear ratio, which lowered top speed in 3rd gear from 29 km/h to 25 km/h, but made shifting easier. Using the 5-speed gearbox allowed the T-34 to use 4th gear on terrain, with which it could reach 30 km/h. <a href="#cite_note-80">[76]</a> The T-34-76's ground pressure was around 0.72 kg/cm².<a href="#cite_note-kav198-81">[77]</a><a href="#cite_note-82">[78]</a> Its wide tracks allowed for superior performance on dirt roads and off-road when compared to contemporary tanks.<a href="#cite_note-kav198-81">[77]</a> There were, however, still examples of T-34s getting stuck in mud.

The Germans noted the T-34 was very slow to find and engage targets while the Panzers could typically get off three rounds for every one fired by the T-34.<a href="#cite_note-Zaloga-1994-40-72">[69]</a> Early in the war, the commander fought at a further disadvantage; the forward-opening <a href="/wiki/Trapdoor" title="Trapdoor">hatch</a> and the lack of a turret cupola forced him to observe the battlefield through a single vision slit and traversable <a href="/wiki/Periscope" title="Periscope">periscope</a>.<a href="#cite_note-85">[81]</a> German commanders liked to fight "heads-up", with their seat raised and having a full field of view – in the T-34 this was impossible.<a href="#cite_note-86">[82]</a> Soviet veterans condemned the turret hatches of the early models. Nicknamed <a href="/wiki/Pirozhok" class="mw-redirect" title="Pirozhok">pirozhok</a> ("stuffed bun") because of its characteristic shape, it was heavy and hard to open. The complaints of the crews urged the design group led by Alexander Morozov to switch in August 1942<a href="#cite_note-87">[83]</a> to using two hatches in the turret.<a href="#cite_note-88">[84]</a> The loader also had a difficult job due to the lack of a turret basket (a rotating floor that moves as the turret turns); the same fault was present on all German tanks prior to the Panzer IV. The floor under the T-34's turret was made up of ammunition stored in small metal boxes, covered by a rubber mat. There were nine ready rounds of ammunition stowed in racks on the sides of the fighting compartment. Once these rounds had been used, the crew had to pull additional ammunition out of the floor boxes, leaving the floor littered with open bins and matting and reducing their performance.<a href="#cite_note-89">[85]</a> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote">The main weakness [of the two-man turret of a T-34 Model 1941] is that it is very tight. The Americans couldn't understand how our tankers could fit inside during a winter when they wear sheepskin jackets. The electrical mechanism for rotating the turret is very bad. The motor is weak, very overloaded and sparks horribly, as a result of which the device regulating the speed of the rotation burns out, and the teeth of the cogwheels break into pieces. They recommend replacing it with a hydraulic or simply manual system. Due to not having a turret basket the crew was [<a href="/wiki/Sic" title="Sic">sic</a>] could be injured by getting caught in the drive mechanism, this could leave them out of combat for a while, the lack of a turret basket also caused general discomfort to the crew, having to manually turn.<a href="#cite_note-Aberdeen-51">[48]</a></blockquote> Most of the problems created by the cramped T-34/76 turret, known before the war, were corrected with the provision of a bigger cast three-man turret<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHughesMann200261,_63-90">[86]</a> on the T-34-85 in 1944. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="General_reliability">General reliability</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=T-34&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: General reliability">edit</a>]</div> The T-34's wide track and good suspension gave it excellent cross-country performance. Early in the tank's life, however, this advantage was greatly reduced by the numerous teething troubles the design displayed: a long road trip could be a lethal exercise for a T-34 tank at the start of the war. When in June 1941, the <a href="/wiki/8th_Mechanised_Corps" class="mw-redirect" title="8th Mechanised Corps">8th Mechanised Corps</a> under <a href="/wiki/Dmitry_Ryabyshev" title="Dmitry Ryabyshev">Dmitry Ryabyshev</a> marched 500 km towards Dubno, the corps lost half of its vehicles. A.V. Bodnar, who was in combat in 1941–42, recalled: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote">From the point of view of operating them, the German armoured machines were almost perfect, they broke down less often. For the Germans, covering 200 km was nothing, but with T-34s something would have been lost, something would have broken down. The technological equipment of their machines was better, the combat gear was worse.<a href="#cite_note-Drabkin-2006-43-91">[87]</a></blockquote> The T-34 gearbox had four forward and one reverse gear, replaced by a five-speed box on the last of the 1943 model of the T-34.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHughesMann200240-92">[88]</a> The tracks of early models were the most frequently repaired part. A.V. Maryevski later remembered: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote">The caterpillars used to break apart even without a bullet or shell hits. When earth got stuck between the road wheels, the caterpillar, especially during a turn – strained to such an extent that the pins and tracks themselves couldn't hold out.<a href="#cite_note-93">[89]</a></blockquote> The USSR donated two combat-used Model 1941 T-34s to the United States for testing purposes in late 1942. The examinations, performed at the <a href="/wiki/Aberdeen_Proving_Ground" title="Aberdeen Proving Ground">Aberdeen Proving Ground</a>, highlighted these early faults, which were in turn acknowledged in a 1942 Soviet report on the results of the testing: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote">The Christie's suspension was tested a long time ago by the Americans and unconditionally rejected. On our tanks, as a result of the poor steel on the springs, it very quickly fatigues and as a result clearance is noticeably reduced. The deficiencies in our tracks from their viewpoint result from the lightness of their construction. They can easily be damaged by small-caliber and mortar rounds. The pins are extremely poorly tempered and made of poor steel. As a result, they quickly wear and the track often breaks.<a href="#cite_note-Aberdeen-51">[48]</a></blockquote> Testing at Aberdeen also revealed that engines could grind to a halt from dust and sand ingestion, as the original "Pomon" air filter was almost totally ineffective and had an insufficient air-inflow capacity, starving the combustion chambers of oxygen, lowering compression, and thereby restricting the engine from operating at full capacity.<a href="#cite_note-Aberdeen-51">[48]</a> At the time of the Aberdeen testing, the alleged air filter issue was already remedied by the addition of <a href="/wiki/Cyclonic_separation" title="Cyclonic separation">"Cyclone" filters</a> on the Model 1943,<a href="#cite_note-RussianBattlefield2000-31">[29]</a> and even more efficient "Multi-Cyclone" filters on the T-34-85.<a href="#cite_note-auto3-43">[40]</a> The testing at Aberdeen revealed other problems as well. The turret drive also suffered from poor reliability. The use of poorly machined, low quality steel side friction clutches and the T-34's outdated and poorly manufactured transmission meant frequent mechanical failure occurred and that they "create an inhuman harshness for the driver". A lack of properly installed and shielded radios – if they existed at all – restricted their operational range to under 16 km (9.9 mi).<a href="#cite_note-Aberdeen-51">[48]</a> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote">Judging by samples, Russians when producing tanks pay little attention to careful machining or the finishing and technology of small parts and components, which leads to the loss of the advantage what would otherwise accrue from what on the whole are well-designed tanks. Despite the advantages of the use of diesel, the good contours of the tanks, thick armor, good and reliable armaments, the successful design of the tracks etc., Russian tanks are significantly inferior to American tanks in their simplicity of driving, manoeuvrability, the strength of firing (reference to muzzle velocity), speed, the reliability of mechanical construction and the ease of keeping them running.<a href="#cite_note-Aberdeen-51">[48]</a></blockquote> Soviet tests on newly built T-34s showed that in April 1943 only 10.1% could complete a 330 km trial and in June ’43 this went down to 7.7%. The percentage stayed below 50% till October 1943 when it rose to 78%, in the next month it dropped to 57% and in the period December ’43 – January ’44 the average was 82%. During February 1944 tests, 79% of tanks reached 300 kilometers, and of the test batches 33% reached 1,000 kilometers. This became immediately apparent to the tank troops. The deputy commander of the 1st Guards Tank Army, P. G. Dyner, commented that tanks in 1943 would reach only 75 percent of their guaranteed life span in engine hours and mileage, but in 1944 they reached 150 percent.<a href="#cite_note-94">[90]</a> <table class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;"> <caption>Percentage of T-34 tanks reaching 330 kilometers during factory trials<a href="#cite_note-95">[91]</a> </caption> <tbody><tr> <th colspan="9">1943 </th> <th colspan="2">1944 </th></tr> <tr> <th>Apr</th> <th>May</th> <th>Jun</th> <th>Jul</th> <th>Aug</th> <th>Sep</th> <th>Oct</th> <th>Nov</th> <th>Dec</th> <th>Jan</th> <th>Feb </th></tr> <tr> <td>10.1</td> <td>23.0</td> <td>7.7</td> <td>28.6</td> <td>43.0</td> <td>46.0</td> <td>78.0</td> <td>57.0</td> <td>83.6</td> <td>83.4</td> <td>79.0 </td></tr></tbody></table> In 1944 June, a report written by the 2. Panzerjäger-Abteilung Company 128 (23. PzDiv.) described experiences acquired during operations with its <a href="/wiki/Beutepanzer" title="Beutepanzer">Beutepanzer</a> SU-85 and T-34: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote">Despite not having much experience yet, it can be said that the Russian battle tank is not suitable for carrying out long marches as well as high-speed marches. A maximum driving speed of 10–12 km / h has become convenient. During the marches and in order to allow the engines to cool down, it is absolutely necessary to make a stop every half hour for a minimum duration of between fifteen and twenty minutes. Steering gears have caused problems and breakdowns on all new battle tanks. In difficult terrain, during the gears or also during the course of attacks where many changes of direction are made, the steering clutch heats up and covers with oil quickly: consequently the clutch does not engage and it is impossible to maneuver the vehicle. Once it has cooled down, the clutch should be cleaned with copious amounts of fuel. In relation to the armament and based on the experiences acquired so far, it can be affirmed that the power of the 7.62 cm cannon is good. If the barrel is adjusted correctly it has good precision even at great distances. The same can be said of the rest of the automatic weapons of the battle tank. The weapons have good precision and reliability, although a slow rate of fire. The Company has had the same positive experiences with the 8.5 cm assault gun. Regarding the true power of fire compared to the 7.62 cm gun, the Company is not yet able to give details. The effect of explosive projectiles ( Sprenggranaten ) at great distances and its precision is much higher than that of the 7.62 cm cannon. The optical systems of the Russian battle tank are, in comparison with the Germans, much inferior. The German gunner has to get used to the Russian telescopic sight. Observing the impact or the trajectory of the projectile through the telescopic sight is only partially possible. The gunner of the Russian T-43 [<a href="/wiki/Sic" title="Sic">sic</a>] battle tank has only a panoramic optic, located in the upper left area, in front of the telescopic sight. In order for the loader to be able to observe the trajectory of the projectile in any case, the Company has additionally incorporated a second panoramic optics for this member of the crew. In the Russian tank it is very difficult to steer the vehicle or a unit and shoot simultaneously. Coordinating fire within a company is only partially possible.<a href="#cite_note-96">[92]</a></blockquote> On 29 January 1945, the State Defense Committee approved a decree that extended the service life guarantee of the T-34's V-2-34 engine from 200 hours to 250 hours.<a href="#cite_note-97">[93]</a> A report by the <a href="/wiki/2nd_Guards_Tank_Army" title="2nd Guards Tank Army">2nd Guards Tank Army</a> in February 1945 revealed that the average engine service life of a T-34 was lower than the official warranty at 185–190 hours.

The Model 1942 featured increased armour on the turret and many simplified components. The Model 1943 (confusingly also introduced in 1942) had yet more armour, as well as increased fuel capacity and more ammunition storage. Also added were an improved engine air filter and a new clutch mated to an improved and more reliable five-speed transmission.<a href="#cite_note-Zaloga_2006-49">[46]</a> Finally, the Model 1943 also had a new, slightly roomier (but still two-man) turret of a distinctive hexagonal shape that was easier to manufacture, derived from the abandoned <a href="/wiki/T-34_variants#Tanks" title="T-34 variants">T-34M</a> project.<a href="#cite_note-auto2-41">[38]</a> The T-34 was essential in resisting the German summer offensive in 1942, and executing the double encirclement manoeuvre that cut off the <a href="/wiki/6th_Army_(Wehrmacht)" title="6th Army (Wehrmacht)">German Sixth Army</a> at <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Stalingrad" title="Battle of Stalingrad">Stalingrad</a> in December 1942.

The campaign featured the largest tank battles in history. The high-water mark of the battle was <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Prokhorovka" title="Battle of Prokhorovka">the massive armour engagement at Prokhorovka</a>, which began on 12 July, though the vast majority of armour losses on both sides were caused by artillery and mines, rather than tanks.<a href="#cite_note-Prokhorovka_Interview-119">[115]</a> Over 6,000 fully tracked armoured vehicles, 4,000 combat aircraft, and 2 million men are believed to have participated in these battles. The Soviet high command's decision to focus on one cost-effective design, cutting costs and simplifying production wherever possible while only allowing relatively minor improvements, had proven to be an astute choice for the first two years of the war. However, the battles in the summer of 1943 demonstrated that the 76.2 mm gun of the T-34 was no longer as effective as it was in 1941. Soviet tank crews struggled at longer ranges with the additional frontal armour applied to the later variants of the Panzer III and Panzer IV, and were unable to penetrate the frontal armour of the new German Panther or Tiger I tank at standard combat ranges without tungsten rounds, and had to rely on tactical skill through flanking manoeuvres and combined arms.<a href="#cite_note-Prokhorovka_Interview-119">[115]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="T-34-85">T-34-85</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=T-34&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: T-34-85">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:P82-2l.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/b1/P82-2l.jpg/260px-P82-2l.jpg" decoding="async" width="260" height="116" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/b1/P82-2l.jpg/390px-P82-2l.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b1/P82-2l.jpg 2x" data-file-width="473" data-file-height="211" /></a><figcaption>A T-34 Model 1942 (left), next to the <a href="/wiki/T-43_medium_tank" title="T-43 medium tank">T-43</a>.</figcaption></figure> After improved German Panzer IVs with the high-velocity <a href="/wiki/7.5_cm_KwK_40" title="7.5 cm KwK 40">7.5cm (2.95 in) KwK 40 gun</a> were encountered in combat in 1942, a project to design an entirely new Soviet tank was begun, with the goals of increasing armour protection while adding modern features like a <a href="/wiki/Torsion-bar" class="mw-redirect" title="Torsion-bar">torsion-bar</a> suspension and a three-man turret. The new tank, the <a href="/wiki/T-43_medium_tank" title="T-43 medium tank">T-43</a>, was intended to be a universal model to replace both the T-34 and the <a href="/wiki/KV-1_(tank)" class="mw-redirect" title="KV-1 (tank)">KV-1</a> heavy tank. However, the T-43 prototype's armour, though heavier, was not capable against German 88 mm guns, while its mobility was found to be inferior to the T-34. Finally, although the T-43 shared over 70% of its components with the T-34, manufacturing it would still have required a significant slow-down in production.<a href="#cite_note-zaloga1997-120">[116]</a> Consequently, the T-43 was cancelled. The Germans improved not only the weaponry of their tanks, but their armor as well. Soviet firing tests against a captured Tiger I heavy tank in April 1943 showed that the T-34's 76 mm gun could not penetrate the front of the Tiger I at all, and the side only at very close range. A Soviet 85 mm anti-aircraft gun, the <a href="/wiki/85_mm_air_defense_gun_M1939_(52-K)" title="85 mm air defense gun M1939 (52-K)">M1939 (52-K)</a>, was found capable of doing the job, and so derivatives of it were developed for tanks.<a href="#cite_note-121">[117]</a><a href="#cite_note-122">[118]</a> One of the resulting guns used on the original T-34 85 model (the D-5T) was capable of penetrating the Tiger I's upper hull armour at 1,000 metres.<a href="#cite_note-tankarchives.ca-76">[73]</a> It was still not enough to match the Tiger, which could destroy the T-34 from a distance of 1,500 to 2,000 m (4,900 to 6,600 ft),<a href="#cite_note-auto4-123">[119]</a> but it was a noticeable improvement. <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:T34-85_Heckansicht.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bc/T34-85_Heckansicht.jpg/220px-T34-85_Heckansicht.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="180" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bc/T34-85_Heckansicht.jpg/330px-T34-85_Heckansicht.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bc/T34-85_Heckansicht.jpg/440px-T34-85_Heckansicht.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1024" data-file-height="836" /></a><figcaption>Rear view of a T-34-85 from Factory 174.

Its turret ring was enlarged from 1,425 mm (56 in) to 1,600 mm (63 in), allowing a larger turret to be fitted supporting the larger 85 mm gun. The prototype T-43's turret design was hurriedly adopted by Vyacheslav Kerichev at the <a href="/wiki/Krasnoye_Sormovo_Factory" class="mw-redirect" title="Krasnoye Sormovo Factory">Krasnoye Sormovo Factory</a> to fit the T-34.<a href="#cite_note-124">[120]</a> This was a larger three-man turret, with radio (previously in the hull) and observation cupola in the roof. Now the tank commander needed only to command (aided by cupola and radio systems), leaving the operation of the gun to the gunner and the loader. The turret was bigger and less sloped than the original T-34 turret, making it a bigger target (due to the three-man crew and bigger gun), but with thicker 90 mm armour, making it more resistant to enemy fire. The shells were 50% heavier (9 kg) and were much better in the anti-armour role, and reasonable in a general purpose role, though only 55–60 could be carried, instead of 90–100 of the earlier shells. The resulting new tank, the T-34-85, was seen as a compromise between advocates for the T-43 and others who wanted to continue to build as many 76 mm-armed T-34s as possible without interruption.<a href="#cite_note-125">[121]</a> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:T-34-85_interior_Parola_Tank_Museum.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b4/T-34-85_interior_Parola_Tank_Museum.jpg/220px-T-34-85_interior_Parola_Tank_Museum.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b4/T-34-85_interior_Parola_Tank_Museum.jpg/330px-T-34-85_interior_Parola_Tank_Museum.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b4/T-34-85_interior_Parola_Tank_Museum.jpg/440px-T-34-85_interior_Parola_Tank_Museum.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1024" data-file-height="768" /></a><figcaption>Interior of a T-34-85 viewed from the driver's hatch, showing the ammunition boxes on which the loader had to stand in the absence of a turret basket.

Parallel to the production of the T-34-85 with the D-5T gun, production of the T-34-85 using the S-53 gun (later to be modified and redesignated as the ZIS-S-53 gun) began in February 1944 at Factory No. 112.<a href="#cite_note-126">[122]</a> The improved T-34-85 became the standard Soviet medium tank, with an uninterrupted production run until the end of the war. A T-34-85 initially cost about 30 percent more to produce than a Model 1943, at 164,000 <a href="/wiki/Soviet_rouble" class="mw-redirect" title="Soviet rouble">Rbls</a>; by 1945 this had been reduced to 142,000 Rbls <a href="#cite_note-harrison2002-127">[123]</a> during the course of <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a> the cost of a T-34 tank had almost halved, from 270,000 Rbls in 1941,<a href="#cite_note-harrison2002-127">[123]</a> while its top speed remained about the same, and its main gun's armour penetration and turret frontal armour thickness both nearly doubled.<a href="#cite_note-128">[124]</a> The T-34-85 gave the Red Army a tank with better armour and mobility than the German Panzer IV tank and StuG III assault gun. While it could not match the armour or weapons of the heavier Panther and Tiger tanks, its improved firepower made it much more effective than earlier models, and overall it was more cost-effective than the heaviest German tanks. In comparison with the T-34-85 program, the Germans instead chose an upgrade path based on the introduction of completely new, expensive, heavier, and more complex tanks, greatly slowing the growth of their tank production and helping the Soviets to maintain a substantial numerical superiority in tanks.<a href="#cite_note-129">[125]</a> By May 1944, T-34-85 production had reached 1,200 tanks per month.<a href="#cite_note-130">[126]</a> In the entire war, production figures for all Panther types reached no more than 6,557, and for all Tiger types (including the Tiger I and <a href="/wiki/Tiger_II" title="Tiger II">Tiger II</a>) 2,027.<a href="#cite_note-131">[127]</a> Production figures for the T-34-85 alone reached 22,559.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] On 12 January 1945, a column of Tiger IIs and other tanks from 424th Heavy Panzer Battalion were involved in a short-range engagement with T-34-85 tanks near the village of <a href="/wiki/Lis%C3%B3w,_Kielce_County" title="Lisów, Kielce County">Lisow</a>. Forty T-34-85 tanks commanded by Colonel N. Zhukov were attacked by the 424th Heavy Panzer battalion, which had been reinforced by 13 Panthers.

The identification of T-34 variants can be complicated. Turret castings, superficial details, and equipment differed between factories; new features were added in the middle of production runs, or retrofitted to older tanks; damaged tanks were rebuilt, sometimes with the addition of newer-model equipment and even new turrets.<a href="#cite_note-Zaloga-1983-14-29">[28]</a> The Red Army never had a consistent policy for naming the T-34.<a href="#cite_note-212">[208]</a> Since at least the 1980s, however, many academic sources (notably, <a href="/wiki/Armoured_fighting_vehicle" title="Armoured fighting vehicle">AFV</a> expert <a href="/wiki/Steven_Zaloga" class="mw-redirect" title="Steven Zaloga">Steven Zaloga</a>) have used Soviet-style nomenclature: T-34 for the models armed with 76.2 mm guns, and T-34-85 for models armed with 85 mm guns, with minor models distinguished by year, as T-34 Model 1940. Some Russian historians use different names: they refer to the first T-34 as the T-34 Model 1939 instead of 1940, all T-34s with the original turret and F-34 gun as Model 1941 instead of Models 1941 and 1942, and the <a href="/wiki/Hexagon" title="Hexagon">hexagonal</a>-turret T-34 as Model 1942 instead of 1943.<a href="#cite_note-213">[209]</a> German <a href="/wiki/Military_intelligence" title="Military intelligence">military intelligence</a> in World War II referred to the two main production families as T-34/76 and T-34/85, with subvariants receiving letter designations such as T-34/76A – this nomenclature has been widely used in the West, especially in popular literature. When the German Wehrmacht used captured T-34s, it designated them Panzerkampfwagen T-34(r), where the "r" stood for russisch ("Russian").<a href="#cite_note-214">[210]</a> The Finns referred to the T-34 as the Sotka after the <a href="/wiki/Common_goldeneye" title="Common goldeneye">common goldeneye</a>, because the side silhouette of the tank resembled a swimming waterfowl.
