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 T34 heavy tank was an American design for a heavy tank. It evolved from the T29 heavy tank and T30 heavy tank in 1945, using the same chassis, but sporting a 120 mm (4.72 in) modified 120 mm gun M1 anti-aircraft gun . [ 3 ]
Designed at the Kharkiv Locomotive Factory by Konstantin Chelpan and his team, it is found in the BT-7M (BT-8), T-34, KV, IS and IS-10 (T-10) tanks, and by extension, the vehicles based on them, such as the SU-85 and SU-100 tank destroyers based on the T-34 and the ISU-122 and ISU-152 self-propelled guns based on the IS-2. Throughout its ...
The M4A3E8 was involved in 50% of the tank actions, the M26 in 32%, and the M46 in 10%.

The M4A3E8 ...
