So, did the T34's do horribly vs the Germans....?
Pongo, you threw in a good bone of T34's problems in the real life.
Now compare those to the merits of the T34, such as being able to move around very wildly in rough terrain, i.e. two or three times the Speed of a Panzer....
Or going where there were no Panzers..
On a plate-flat battlefield with 100% visibility, the Panzer from AH will outshoot the T34 we are about to get.
OK
Under any more troubled cirkumstances the T34 will be a serious enemy of the Panzer. It is very much faster, roughy equally hard to hit, and can easily kill a Panzer in 1 shot if it gets near enough.
And there will be lots of them
