I really liked the response I got from my poll on heavy tanks so I thought I'd add a list for medium tanks as well. If someone thinks I missed a tank and should add one to the poll just let me know.

Russian T34 leveled most tanks.

I agree but the Panzer V did pose a serious threat.

Yes, but the T34 had sloped Armour to bounce shot.

As did the Panzer V though maybe not as good. It could still bounce quite a few shots.

Hang a second, why did you bother with the Sherman model when you didn't with the T-34 or Panther?

As in the model number? Because a Standard Sherman tank couldn't stand up to either. but an easy eight would have a chance. If you like I could add a model to the other tanks.

Please do. Until the T-34/85 there was no radio and the turret was very cramped.

The Panzer V.

The Germans had the best technology in the second world war, the best tank is the Panzer V.

Hardly. The Russians outclassed them in tanks at the start of the war. The Germans could not create a proper logistical train for their lives. Literally.

The Germans had a better technology than the Soviets. The Soviets had an outdated army, and for this reason suffered numerous casualties between 1941 and 1943.
