I'd give the sound issue some time. Hopefully it'll be improved in a few patches.
"The T-34 had a profound effect on the conflict on the Eastern Front in the Second World War, and had a lasting impact on tank design. After the Germans encountered the tank in 1941 during Operation Barbarossa, German general Paul Ludwig Ewald von Kleist called it "the finest tank in the world"[8] and Heinz Guderian affirmed the T-34's "vast superiority" over German tanks.[9][10] Alfred Jodl, chief of operations staff of the German armed forces noted in his war diary "the surprise at this new and thus unknown wunder-armament being unleashed against the German assault divisions."
I'm gonna laugh at this comment HAHAHAHAHA.

Its called "propaganda", you'll learn.
but yes regardless of all the circuses online, it had its few qualities.
T-34s Were Not Perfect, But Were Excellent For Their Role, Tens of Thousands of ''Good Enough'' Tanks.
Alot of T-34s we see today (like Russian parade tanks) were produced after the war in the 60s, and are in no way the same as the ones produced in the 40s. The main fact I'm not a big fan, is the loss ratio and I quote, "Undoubtedly the T-34 went a long way to enabling the USSR to be ultimately victorious, but the price was huge with approximately 44 900 T-34s (82% of total production) being irrecoverably lost."
An estimate, Armor spalling alone caused over half of T-34 fatalities.
Yea there are great qualities but on paper, in practice this tank was executed horribly, it was riddled with mechanical failures.
That video goes far more into it than I will, but it gets worse lmao.
Weld cracking was only an issue on the first few-thousand T-34s, specifically those built before 1942. During that year, the Soviets applied a newly-pioneered welding technique called "Submerged Arc Welding", and the resulting welds were found to be even stronger than the armor plates;

The Germans, despite all their hype, never caught-up with this technological lead. Their factories were also out-sized "file to fit" workshop operations all the way to the end of the war, rather than the mechanized assembly lines built by the US and USSR. Hence, why German only completed 6,000 Panthers, while the US built 40,000 M4 Shermans, and the Russians built well over 40,000 T-34s. History is seldom kind to the side that builds less weapons.
Yea you didn't watch the video, id suggest you actually do that, instead of dumping inaccurate information on this thread. Everything you claimed besides the actual numbers of tanks is inaccurate. Very, very inaccurate.
Production for the T-34s was from 1940-58. The numbers of bad seam welds was consistent throughout the war, thats why you saw plenty of T-34s knocked out without any actual penetration holes, massive cracking, and armor seams blown out, this was specifically due to heat treating pushing over 900 degrees (most nations like the US only pushed to 300 degrees for the Sherman), the actual build dates extended past the 50s, like 1956, after the Berlin wall came down, even those T-34 tanks had huge seam weld errors. They were also used Cuba, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Congo, Laos, Vietnam, North Korea, and Yemen for their Civil Wars.
Welding was actually that of poorer metals than the actual heat treated metal hulls and turrets themselves, essentially over done metallurgy, that's because the production lines specifically in the Barn of Factory N.183, had inexperienced builders that were also extremely rushed, their metals became brittle and would often shatter on any impact, that's why you see plenty of T-34s with mismatched wheels and parts.
Russia lost 6,600 T-34s in 1942, that was far more losses than Germany even had tanks. Even historical books, claim that Russia lost 54.3% of all their T-34s in 42 alone by the PzIII, a tank theoretically that was no match for the T-34.
T-34 crews often refused to use APCR because they had a tendency to blow up in the barrel if the barrel wasn't cooled.
Germany in fact was far beyond Russia in tech, the only reason you see Panthers and Tiger 2s with seams blown out or massive armor cracking was because of dwindling precious metals in factories that were mercilessly bombed by the Americans B-17 raids.
Yea I'm not going to make the argument over quantity over quality but I sure as hell personally wouldn't want to be in a Sherman or T-34 in WW2.
I mean i could go on all day, but its best if you watch the Video as it goes far more in detail than I will, again they aren't as good as you are lead to believe.
