Once again, this only works if tank crews are considered to be just thrown away. 8000 manufactured vs 50000 Sherman's and nearly 60000 T34s. Even Pz.4 wasn't as numerous as the propaganda reels would make out. Unlike Panthers, Tigers and other German tanks, they existed in numbers and everywhere. People get held up on this obsession with top trumps style comparisons, but in reality it's about how they ultimately performed in their time for the people that needed them. If you value your crews, however, you make a wiiiiiiide turn around that thing. If that is your regard for soldiers in war, then then the T34 was indeed a good solution. Sure, you can argue that it did it's job, but you have to come from a mindset that crews are expendable and throwaway items. In practicve it lacked a 3 men turret, radio equipment, the compartment was extremly hard to leave once hit, the list goes on. But it played its part in reversing the tide in its balance between simplicity of manufacture, protection, mobility and firepower.Īgain, in theory. There is a reason why the german cuppola was widely adopted for a time post WW2. And the T34 was one of the worst offenders here, no matter how you spin the perspective around. In theory, yes, in practice there still were huge differences in tanks for visilibility.
There's no substitute for the MK1 eyeball and ears attached to a head on a neck. That's why you commonly see Western tank commanders hatch open and head out in all but the most intense fighting.
