Pros:
* Simple and cheap to produce: The T-34 was relatively inexpensive to manufacture, which allowed the Soviets to produce large numbers of them.
* Good mobility: The T-34 had a powerful engine and wide tracks, which gave it good mobility even in difficult terrain.
* Sloped armor: The T-34's armor was sloped at angles, which helped to deflect enemy shells.
* Well-armed: The T-34 was armed with a powerful 76mm gun, capable of knocking out most enemy tanks at the time.
Cons:
* Lack of reliability: The T-34 was known to be rather unreliable. It often broke down and required frequent repairs.
* Poor visibility: The T-34 had limited visibility because the driver's hatch was relatively small, which resulted in the driver having a limited field of vision.
* Flammable fuel tanks: The T-34's fuel tanks were located between the engine and the crew compartments, which made them prone to catching fire when hit by enemy fire.
* Poor armor in frontal areas: while the frontal armor offered good sloped protection the turret had a large gun mantlet and an obvious shot trap behind this that was only 45mm thick.
