After the heavy and hard years of 1941 and 1942 the T-34 would face new challenges and opponents. The new German tanks like the Panther, Ferdinand and King Tiger would pose a serious threat to the steady flow of T-34's coming out from the factories in ever increasing numbers.
But the Soviet designers had several aces in their sleeves. New tank and SPG designs like T-34-85, SU-85, SU-100 were coming in, tipping the balance to the Soviet side. Was the T-34-85 the best tank of the WWII? What advantages and disadvantages did the design have? How did it fare compared to the German tanks? How did the largest tank battle of WWII end? What kind of legacy did the T-34 leave on tank design?

The most destroyed tank in all of history. The Russians lost 44900 T34 tanks. The Germans didn't even build that many tanks during the war.
T-34 fans when their favorite tank is instantly disassembled by a surplus Czech tank destroyer crewed by a 15 year old Austrian conscript (its ok because sloped armor or something)
I think most tanks were outdated by the halfway point, even the Sherman required many updates
bro answer the question that you put in your title. the answer is no
A small bonus: between the t-34 models, there was a few t-34-57 equipped with a 57 mm high-velocity gun. Also, another obscure t-34 is the t34-100 with the 100mm gun
No!!! LEND LEASE did
Russia doesn't make tanks to win duels, they make tanks to win wars!
Old soviet joke: King Tiger can carry 82 shells. So in order to defeat him, we send 83 t-34s
The t 34 also used a wedge to beat pins back into the tank treads, was an easier way to mass produce them quickly, especially since they didn't use lock pins.
Fun fact: Overall, T-34 tanks usually had malfunction but most of tanks were already destroyed before being broken down
Jeez, imagine how scary that would be, riding on a tank with four to eight other guys after the sun had gone down, watching bullets and missiles fly around you, and it only takes one good shot to end your life.
It's pretty cool that you drew the tanks in 3d often and realistically. I really appreciate the hard work. Keep it up
“Ferdinand had its draw backs” that’s a polite way of saying the transmission would explode if it tried to go up a slight incline 😂
To me the T-34 was one of those tanks that kept Russia in the War, same story with the M4 Sherman there were that many produced
I think The Chieftain said it best "The enemy of perfect is good enough, and good enough is already perfect'
Personally I'd be scared of being a T34 Crewman, due to the low survival rate, horrendous spalling problem, the high chances that it might have came out of Factory 183.
Still one of the most iconic and most Russian tank ever in the entire history of War (IMO)
An iconic tank, to be sure, but definitely not the greatest there was. I still adore the look of the turret though.
Short answer: absolutely not, but it contributed.
In 1941, it was a good tank with solid stats.
