Even with these advances the T-34 was still outgunned and less damage resistant compared to its German counterparts. But the sheer quantity that the were able to produce the tank (almost 1200 a month at certain points in the war), gave the Soviets a massive advantage when it came to the number of tanks they could deploy at any one point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe initial version of the T-34 was equipped with a 76mm main gun, however it proved to be insufficient against their main rivals, in particular Tiger and Panther tanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a result, upgrading the firepower of the T-34s became essential to the Russian's ability to fight back against the invading Germans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEventually the military ordnance department upgraded the T-34 to an 85mm main gun which proved far more effective, and to distinguish the T-34s with different main guns, it was named T-34-76, and T-34-85 respectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#0700ff;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKMDB T-34-85\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesigned to replace the Soviet BT-5, BT-7 and T-26 infantry tanks, the T-34 was produced between 1940 and 1958. The T-34 is often regarded as one of the most successful and most influential tanks of the era. It was WWII's most highly produced tank and history's second most highly produced tank. The T-34 had a powerful engine, wide tracks and heavy armor. It was continuously refined, and by 1944 had gained a more powerful 85mm gun and a superior three-man turret design. The success of the T-34 can be measured in part by its longevity-by 1996, T-34s were still serving in 27 nations around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flyingmule.com\/range\/display-model\/armor\/dragon-armor\/72\/collector-series\"\u003eDragon Models 1:72 Armor Collector Series\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Dragon Models \"1:72 Dragon Armor Collector Series\" range presents highly-detailed, ready-made plastic models of military vehicles.
