T-34

The Russian T-34 is the best tank in history. The sloped armor changed tank design forever. The Germans recognized the sloped armor as a big improvement. They introduced it to their most famous panzer the King Tiger. This was an improved version of the Tiger. The T-34 was a Russian medium tank. It had a 76 mm gun. It was the most produced tank in history. The number of T-34's overwhelmed the far less number of panzers and tigers with the lager 88mm gun. The Russian's made T-34's faster than the Germans could destroy them. The T-34 was the main battle tank of the red army.
