That's the way of total war. It wasn't the Soviets being wasteful or careless with their manpower or machinery, common perception aside. They did studies of their rates of loss in 1941-42, to determine how long their tanks were expected to last on the meatgrinder battlefields of the Eastern Front before being knocked out--which is to say, damaged beyond repair. The result was something horrifying like "one week"--at the most "one month". And it wasn't that the T-34 was a worse tank design than its opposition--that's just how brutal a theater of war that kills thirty million people is. So there's no point in building a tank engine whose parts will last ten years if there's a very strong chance that a German 75mm will have distributed the engine across most of a Belarussian field before you get to the first year. This is the reality of total war, and the Soviets adjusted to it a LOT better than the Germans. There's a number of good videos on this topic--Potential History did a great primer on it, look up "The Soviet Tank Meme".

Also because, like the guy in the video said, the soviets didn't really expect these tanks to last forever. Just three or four battles. So the aesthetics didn't really matter to them.

About the T-34’s means of communications. Before 1943 the 71- TK-3 radio set had been installed there. Nominally it had rather decent range of operation-18 kilometers when the tank was moving and as much as 25 kilometers when it was standing with engine off. In reality, however, it could achieve its maximum range merely when operating in telegraph mode, while only at a range of up to four kilometers could one count on reliable two-way telephone communications. The radio set was complicated in both its production and use. Despite the presence of five knobs for tuning, it was enormously difficult to tune, especially at a long distance and while on the move because of poor selectivity and insufficient interference protection. In addition, the 71-TK-3 was pretty bulky: It occupied a volume of around 100 liters (Makarov, p. 18).

The sub arc welding looks pretty good (the hull plate join). Not unusual for a weldment to fail in the heat affected zone when the weld procedure is adhered to either, just sound's odd.

You make it sound as if their "loose pin" tracks were somehow inferior and "unsophisticated". I thought that was brilliant, no need to worry about making hundreds of little connectors to break or whatever. Great idea. It worked, didn't it? What's wrong with that/ All you need is a suitably strong steel rod of the appropriate size and you're good to go. I also don't think holding everything together with bolts was a bad idea. You're not likely to come up without a wrench, it comes with the tank, and you can always borrow one if you somehow loose it. It only takes a minute, and you already have millions of bolts in the supply line, no need to design and built special latches or whatever. People forget that every single feature on a tank or truck, no matter how small and minor, has to be designed and built by someone, has to be fit into the logistics system, transported to the factory and fed into the production line at the right point. It's pretty amazing .By doing away with a single small system like that, yu free up capacity for something else, or you free up manpower to be sent to the front.

The fact that there were so many T-34s coming out of the factories enabled Soviet tankers to pretty much wreck their tanks, since they'd immediately get a new one. I've read that some even used theirs in sort of kamikaze-ish attacks during which they'd crash into enemy tanks, destroying both in the process. Only that the Germans couldn't replace a Tiger while the new T-34 was already on its way.

According to the head of the Armored Directorate of the Red Army N.Fedorenko, the average mileage of the T-34 to overhaul during the war, did not exceed 200 kilometers. This was considered adequate since the T-34’s service life at the front was considerably less. For example in 1942 only 66 km. In that sense the T-34 was indeed ‘reliable’ because it was destroyed before it had a chance to break down on its own! :-)

A few inconsistencies: The welding technology was given to the Russians by the Americans after they tested it at Aberdeen in 41/42, and found the welds to be completely unsatisfactory. The enlarged turret was taken from the T-43 tank which was all-round a much better machine, but would have required extensive retooling of the factories, which meant that production would slow. And the -85 dispensed with the Chistie suspension since it was too complex and used torsion bars

Yes, Иван Крылов, about few of your inconsistencies... -- First, welding technology was developed by famous Russian engineer Патон Евгений Оскарович, who finished Dresden Polytechnic institute in 1894, and was developing/designing bridges, at first it was of riveted construction, later of welding construction, also teaching in Московский Институт Инженеров Транспорта(Moscow Institute of Transportation Engineers est 1896) aka МИИТ, and its still operational into present day, in 1904 he transferred to Kiev Poly technical institute where he was teaching Rail Road Transportation technology for many years, in 1934 he establishes Institute of Electric Welding in Kiev that bears his name into present day, and where he was a director until his last day in year of 1953 when he died in the age of 83. So he was the one responsible to transforming Soviet Union from rivets to electric welding. -- Second three man turret was developed before war, aka T-34M, as well as torsion bar suspension, and used on all tanks that were developed in late 1930s by all heavy(KV and IS series tanks and its SPG variants) and light tanks(T-40, 50, 60 and T-70 and its SPG variants), anything, but T-34, that kept its Christie until the very last T-34 was build(including T-34-85).

First, prove that the Americans told the Soviets how to do it. Just because one person invented something first doesn't mean that no one else could think the same thing up later. It happens all the time, even though people tend to ignore it; "this guy here invented it over here, so it's clear that the idea somehow spread 2,000 miles and popped up 200 years later in this other continent. You know, because there is no way that _another_ person could have just thought of the same thing." That said, even if the US invented it and told the Russians how it worked, that's not the same as training Soviet personal how to actually DO it and equipping the factories for it, and setting up the production line to use that instead of what they had been doing. Say a Soviet guy finally figured out how to train the personal and integrate it across ALL the many, many T-34 production lines, he deserves credit for it. With such an imprecise quote as "figured out the concept of SAW welding", it could mean a lot of things. HE could have READ that article you mentioned, and figured out how it worked, etc.

The Russians just were the first to figure out that you could get maximum protection from armor by having it at a 45° as a posed to 70°.and allowing their tanks to be lighter and faster without sacrificing protection. A duh moment for axis and allies but it also took 20 years and a civilian to figure out to put armor plating around the gunner in a humvee.

Not true. There is no such thing as an optimum angle. The most effective and efficient angles are 60 degrees and above. Using trigo, we know that a slope of 60 degrees can double the thickness of a plate, and steeper angles will increase the relative angle exponentially. Shallow angles don't noticeably increase the relative angle at all, and medium slopes like 45° don't work very well either.

+Lewis Shryock Not really the 1st ones to figure this out. Only the 1st ones to actually put it in practice. Everybody knew about the slopped armour well before 1940. T-34 just set up the trend from then on. Like electric cars a few years ago. Most of the manufacturers knew how to make them, but only a handful actually produced them.

The idea of angled armor had existed frim at least the inter war period. It was not a Soviet invention.

Leonardo Da Vinci mace angled armor in his hay days so no the Soviets didn't make it first

A fabulous tank.
