The T-34 medium tank is one of the most-produced and longest-lived tanks of all time.. Identification of T-34 variants can be complicated. Turret castings, superficial details, and equipment differed between factories; new features were added in the middle of production runs, or retrofitted to older tanks; damaged tanks were rebuilt, sometimes with the addition of newer-model equipment and ...
The major changes made to both Heavy Tanks T34 were linked to gunnery trials. Due to the bulky ammunition, the ammunition capacity was the same as the Heavy Tank T30 34 rounds. On the other hand, the lighter ammunition made loading the gun faster, especially with two loaders. The maximum rate of fire was 5 RPM, impressive for such a caliber.
A Waffenamt-Prüfwesen 1 report estimated [60] that with the T-34 angled 30 degrees sidewards and APCBC round, the Tiger I's 8.8 cm KwK 36 L/56 would have to close in to 100 m (110 yd) to achieve a penetration in the T-34's glacis, and could penetrate the frontal turret of a T-34-85 at 1,400 m, the mantlet at 400 m, and the nose at 300 m [61 ...

The related Type 65 variant was instead based on the T-34-85 chassis. None of the original Type 63's survive today. [3] The Type 65 retained the hull from the T-34-85 but the turret was replaced by an open-top box turret armed with twin Type 61 37mm anti-aircraft guns. [1] [2] The guns were loaded manually with 5-round clips.
[citation needed] Although the T-44 used many components of the T-34, it had a new hull, and a modified model V-2 diesel engine, suspension and transmission. [ 7 ] [ 9 ] Reflecting trends in other designs in this period, the T-44 was designed without the hull radio operator/machine gunner position present in many older designs.
