But it did have for the most part ease of construction and robust field performance. The wide tracks meant fewer were abandoned during raspusitsa, the sloped armor allowed for lighter weight on those track and the rest of the chassis.

The 500-hp aluminum-block engine was the single best armored powerplant of its era. It burned diesel, reducing flammability, and that aluminum block meant a weight-to-HP unbeat for a long time to come -- especially when you consider that it wasn't lugged into a monster. Thought the 88 could penetrate the T-34's frontal armor at 100 meters or more, the fact is that speed is sometimes armor -- especially on the offensive, as they were after 1943.

It did, though, have weaknesses. But I'm willing to bet we all understand the armored tripod of firepower, armor, and mobility, and without a doubt the T-34 maximized the balance of those factors, while at the same time being much simpler to build than a Panther, more reliable than a Tiger or a Panther, and easily able to defeat a PzKpfw IV.

I guess I'm saying that you two both have fair points.
