    T-34 wins in Armament, Armor,
    Chassis the Sherman has a advantage in Crew survivability, maintaining, Crew Comfortability, Ergonomics, easy to repair and had a comparable radio range to the T-34 (15-25 km total) stationary (14- 16 km) while moving I think compared to the Sherman's (16-24 km total)

      The Sherman has thicker Armor than the T34
      The Soviet 85mm was less accurate than the US 76m. The 76mm has a better Anti tank round. The Sherman has a Stabilizer which allowed it to accurately shoot while moving 10-20kmh or slower. The T34 had to stop, wait for the hull to stop rocking, then fire. The Sherman also enjoyed better sights than the T34 and often the sights of the T34 were not properly mounted. Making the round go into an orphanage instead of an airfield.

    • @salzstange6341
      @salzstange6341 3 года назад +8

      Just no
      - There are well documented statistics from WW2 showing that the survival rate of US Tank crews were very good. Loosing less than 1 man in average per knockout. Despite there are no total stats from the T34, the partial ones that are show much higher losses. It was very easy to get out of a knocked out Sherman compared to other tank models of WW2
      - The Armor of the M4 is at least on par with the T34, in some areas even better.
      - Maneuverability of the M4 might not be the best but it was sufficient. Top speed was surely not as good, but top speed is not very important compared to maneuvering. Also, driving the M4 is much easier and less exhausting than a T34. Even in Soviet service the tank was known for that. Which brings me to a more important point: The M4 offers much better possibilities for the crew to get the most out of their tank. Ergonomics, optics, stabilization, maintenance, easier to operate…
      You should watch some video from the Chieftain. He is addressing the facts and myths about the M4 in several videos. Well researched and demonstrated.

    The Steel Plate in from of the car does not appear to be 100mm thick.

      No it does not. The 76mm gun was more accurate and had slightly better armor penetration than the 85mm gun on the T34.
      The effective armor thickness on the Sherman was nearly the same as the T34 but the Sherman had softer armor, much less prone to spalling than the T34.

      Id go Sherman. I like the T34 dont get me wrong but the M4 Sherman is just, in my personal opinion, a better tank. My reasoning is that the engine options it had were mostly good to an extent. The only one that really wasn’t all that great was the Radial engine. The Ford GAA and the Detroit Diesel 12 cylinder were both great engines and while the gun wasn’t that great compared to the T34 but it was still very effective in combat. Against primarily the Panzer 4’s and Panthers cause we all know that the tigers were a rare sight. I know the Panther was too but it also had about 6500 units vs the Tigers 1500

      There's was no such thing as a superior tank in ww2. It all came down to how affective and low maintenence cost and if it could be mass produced in high numbers and if the crew could drive the tank front line without any mechanical problems. Wich go's to the Sherman.
      The Sherman is widely regarded as the best tank of ww2. This is because of its very low maintenence, high reliability, great crew comfort and performance, and it was very versatile and could be mass produced in ridiculous amounts.
      So I'm not gonna say that the Sherman was "superior" to the T-34. But the Sherman was practically better in all aspects. And there's proff to back this up in the Korean War.

      Far more T34s were destroyed and far more T34s crews were killed than ever had died in Shermans.
      In fact 2/3rds of all T34s produced during World War II were destroyed.
      The Sherman's armor was of much better quality than the brittle armor of the T34. And even effective armor thickness on both tanks was almost the same.
      The wide tracked T34 did offer better offroad maneuverability than the typical M4A1 or A3 Sherman however the Easy 8 version seen here also has wide tracks for improved offroad maneuverability.
      "Hero of the Soviet Union" Dmitry Loza fought The Great Patriotic War with a US Lend-Lease 76mm M4 Sherman and he was very impressed with it's preformance in Eastern Europe and the vehicle saved his life numerous times.

      The Sherman had better Armor than the T34, was faster (due to the Gearbox on the T34 not working properly)thus more maneuverable, and had 3% mortality rate compared to the T34's 3% Survivability rate

      @autistic_m4a3_76w_hvss the sherman went 38-46 kmh while the t34 went 54kmh. Sherman had a bit thicker armor but the t34 had it at a 60 degree angle. That allowed them ti save materials by using less armor while keeping the effectiveness (I hope you understand why the 60 degree angle helps. America used the Sherman in very very small amounts, because they fought very little on land, mostly only against Japan out in the ocean. But the British have used the American Sherman in relatively high quantities in Africa against Germans, and if you look at what they say, there was a lot of negative comments about it, most of them saying how dangerous it was compared to other tanks. The Sherman had never been in any major tank battle unlike the t34, so of course mire t34s were destroyed then Sherman's, because Sherman's gave seen relatively little combat

      Sherman is a death trap, bad armor, slower than t34, and is not as maneuverable

      ​@@user-os4hs2ki4k please explain to me then. then why did was it called Ronsons, ronsons is a British lighter company or something of that sort, because the Sherman was very flammable. why was it called coffin for 7 brothers. and other similar names

      @@krossbolt4100 So, Over heat treated armor constantly getting shattered by panzer 3, spalling reducing crew survivability, bad scopes, gun being inaccurate and only a tad bit faster than the Sherman's 75mm, while having poor fuel and ammo storage bursting the tank into flames more frequently than the Sherman, is better than a Reliable, easy to fix, easily upgradeable, comfortable, tank that has better armor, and accurate gun with a stabilizer and high survivability like the Sherman?
      The T-34 is the real death trap here, at least the Sherman crews actually survives, the Soviet tank crews actually preferred the Sherman over the T-34 because they have a chance to live after getting hit.
