	T 34 Tank
		When the Germans engaged them they noticed that all their tanks had suddenly become obsolete and undergunned, for they were not a match to the T-34 either in speed, hitting power or protection.
		This immediately led to the Germans speeding up the developement of the heavy Tiger tank and the designwork of a tank with a similar design as the T-34, later to be known as the PzKpfw.
		The T-34 was based on the concept of Christies "fast tank" of the 1930s.

	T-34 Tank
		Some T-34 tanks are apparently still being used by some military forces even today, and the generations of Russian tanks developed since World War 2, which were produced in vast numbers during the cold war and still used by many armies, are direct descendants of the T-34, the best tank in World War 2.
		As a result of the need for an all-purpose main battle tank, the T-34 was developed as a medium tank descendant of those fast light tanks, gradually evolving from their superb technical design, but designed to be a capable main battle tank.
		Both the new T-34 tank and Zhukov, who was later Russia's top military commander in World War 2, made their impressive early debut there, in the far East.

	Nival Interactive Blitzkrieg Missions 10. Kharkov, 1942 T-34 Tank (Soviet Union)
		At the beginning of WWII, the T-34 was the best protected, fastest and most maneuverable medium tank in the world, and managed to wield that superiority until the end of 1942.
		Soviet tanks of the mid-thirties were superior to foreign models both in terms of speed and weaponry.
		The Kharkov Steam-Engine Factory's Tank Design Bureau was already working on a new wheel-track tank called the A-20, but also decided to design a fully track based tank on their own intiative.

	Review: Konami Combat DigiQ remote controlled tanks
		The tanks' maximum turn speed is a bit fast for newbies, but a gentle hand on the control sticks will let you point them pretty much where you want them to go, and their maximum turn speed is not too fast to stop someone with a bit of experience from aiming accurately.
		The DigiQ tanks are so tiny, and their tracks are so loose (to reduce drag, and to protect the drive sprockets from damage if something jams the track), that ordinary short-pile carpet is a somewhat challenging surface for them.
		A tank that has left its track behind, or stuffed one or both tracks under its hull, will shortly be offering some people of lower rank an afternoon's healthy exercise.

	T-34 Medium Tank
		The German tank had a very smooth motion and wasn't as noisy as the T-34: moving with maximum speed the Pz-III could be heard from 150-200 metres while the T-34 could be heard from 450-500 metres.
		The German Tiger and Panther tanks outranged the T34's original 76mm gun, and subsequently a 85mm gun was mounted on a T-34 tank.
		The T-34 was also small and comparably light, while the tank's water-cooled diesel engine minimized the danger of fire and increased the tank's the radius of action.

	T-34 Tank
		The T-34 tank was a nasty surprise to the German armored forces, because it was superior when compared to German tanks.
		The only problem that T-34 tank had, was that it had a poor commanding ability.
		- The T-34 was the main battle tank for the Soviet troops through out the second world war and the number that they produced T-34's, is more than the Germans produced all of their tank models during the war.

	Soviet T-34 Medium Tank
		By comparison, the German Tiger tank was twice as heavy, but it lacked the sloped armour which would have reduced the probability of an effective hit against it by as much as 34%.
		The Soviet T-34 is considered the most successful tank of its time, it combined high speed, maneuverability and fuel economy, low silhouette, good armour protection and firepower.
		To counter the threat, the Germans hastily introduced the Tiger tank in 1942, followed by the Panther in 1943, but neither would stem the tide of 40,000 Soviet T-34s advancing toward Berlin.

		The dogs were then trained to run underneath enemy tanks and in doing so they would tip back a vertical wooden lever on their backs, which would detonate the explosives, much to the surprise of the German tank crews and the dogs.
		The basic idea was that the dog carried on it's back a wooden box or packets containing explosives strapped on with a harness.
		This however, was one simple idea that did not work terribly effectively in combat.
