Post by: TheCrazyOrange on June 11, 2014, 08:48:11 PM: I already told you. It's a T-34, with an early 1941 turret, using the block style mantlet and F-34 gun.

You can see the sloped hull and driver's hatch behind the sheet metal.

Post by: FLOOB on June 11, 2014, 09:57:44 PM: Oh, my fault. I'm asking for the name of it, not what it is. I should've been more clear, this is a "name this" thread.

Nope. Here's a hint, it's agricultural.

You know that many t34s were manufactured in modifyed tractor factories, right? For example, in Stalingrad. Amongst others (cutting the route between moscow and the Caspian Sea, etc) it was one reason the germans went that way.

We'll certainly never know. Soviets were never big on documentation. Combine that with damaged/destroyed vehicles that were rebuilt, and destroyed/lost files, and there's no way of knowing for sure.

I've seen estimates ranging from as low as 3000 all the way up to 8000.
