Who cares....but red colour makes a good target for German 88. T34 was succes because of GREAT NUMBERS. It was not really a good tank. When the crew was not trained it was a nightmare in fire control. Visebilety was very bad, so Germans could take out hundreds of them....
Go to Overloon in the Netherlands and study it in a very good museum. But you also see how the war was won.....logistics and recover and repair facilities. Maintenance of engines and material is crucial. The Japs could not do it. The Germans were masters but had too little and too late...
Maybe it's not your favorite tank but it has 2 qualities that make the difference !
The frontal armor of the tank was not an heavy armor but his angle make it more efficient. It was not so easy to destroy a T 34 by a direct hit in his frontal armor.
Then the weight of the tank was not heavy. Some documents says it has the weight of a men/Cm3. During the winter, on the snow, it was a great advantage in comparaison to german tank.
