The T-34 tank design is arguably the most important tank of all time with over 84,000 made and innovative design features that influenced tank development worldwide. When it first appeared on the battlefield, it represented a revolutionary leap in tank design philosophy that combined mobility, firepower, and protection in a balanced package.
The T-34/76 first saw action in late 1941, and was a significant leap forward in tank design – a rugged, no-nonsense anatomy and wide tracks enabled it to cope with the mud and snow of the Eastern Front. It married the perfect combination of thick, sloped armour and an efficient gun, along with extreme sturdiness, reliability, ease of manufacturing and maintenance.
The sloped armor was particularly innovative - not only did it increase effective thickness without adding weight, but it also dramatically increased the chance of shell deflection. The 76.2mm gun provided excellent anti-tank capability against early German tanks, while the diesel engine offered better range and reduced fire risk compared to gasoline engines used in many other tanks.
German tanks struggled in the cold conditions of the Eastern Front – the rubber peeling away from the road wheels, engines being slow to start and needing to be slowly warmed-up, machine guns jamming constantly, and the narrow tracks of the Panzer III and IV causing them to sink into the snow and mud. The T-34s ran circles around the struggling German hardware – especially as the Luftwaffe was more often than not grounded due to the bad weather, so couldn't harry the Soviets.
The T-34's impact was so profound that it forced German tank development to shift dramatically, directly influencing the design of the Panther tank with its own sloped armor arrangement. Even decades after World War II, the principles established by the T-34 continued to influence modern tank design worldwide.
