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 ...
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 ...

[5] Despite solving the problems with the gun, the tank was deemed too heavy for the US Army and the Marine Corps requirements, so no production orders were ...
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.
The M26 and M46 proved to be an overmatch for the T-34-85 as their 90 mm HVAP round could punch all the way through the T-34 from the front glacis armour to the back, whereas the T-34-85 had difficulty penetrating the armour of the M26 or the M46. The M4A3E8, firing 76 mm HVAP rounds, was a closer match to the T-34-85 as both tanks could ...
