T34/85 model

In late 1943, the T-34-85 was introduced, with a powerful 85 mm gun and a three-man turret design. The tank served in great numbers until the end of the war and was to be seen in many post war armies. The construction of Soviet tanks was very crude by western standards as anybody who has seen one close up can testify, but there is no doubt that for their purpose and expected lifespan the concept of these designs was superb.
