The T-34 went through many continuous design modifications. This model (nomenclature is Western not Soviet) was an improvement with a more powerful 76.2mm gun, heavier armor and a cast turret. Over 5000 produced. About 1/4 of the fuel was carried in external tanks which could be jettisoned giving the tank a remarkable 280-mile range. The broad tracks and double road wheels with coil spring suspension allowed the T-34 to travel where opponents floundered. Two man turret with no cupola for commander and hand traverse mechanism were deficiencies.
