We'll just have to agree to disagree. I'm a great student of WWII, being a gamer, I've fought it several times.

The T-34 was a Soviet medium tank which had a profound and lasting effect on the field of tank design. Although its armour and armament were surpassed later in the war, it has been often credited as the most effective, efficient, and influential tank design of World War II. [3] At its introduction, the T-34 possessed an unprecedented combination of firepower, mobility, protection, and ruggedness. Its 76.2 mm (3 in) high-velocity tank gun provided a substantial increase in firepower over any of the T-34's contemporaries; [4] its heavy sloped armour was difficult to penetrate by most contemporary anti-tank weapons. First encountered in 1941,
German tank general von Kleist called it "the finest tank in the world"[5] and Heinz Guderian confirmed the T-34's "vast superiority" over German armour[6] and found it "very worrying." [7]
This was an entirely Russian design. They produced 62,000 of them in WWII. By comparison, our tanks were under-armored fireballs.
