In the 1930s Soviet engineers began work on a new medium tank to replace the older T-26 and BT-7 models. In 1939 prototypes were created, designated as A-20 and A-32. The final model, the A-34, became the basis for mass production and was named the T-34. T-34 prototypes underwent intensive testing, and in 1940 mass production began in Kharkov. The first models had a 76.2mm L-11 cannon, which was quickly replaced by the more effective F-34 cannon.The T-34 first saw combat during the German invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941. Despite initial logistical and training problems, the T-34 proved to be extremely effective on the battlefield. Its sloped armor, good mobility, and powerful armament made it an opponent that German tanks had serious problems with. Therefore, many of these vehicles which were captured en masse from the Russians were accepted into the ranks of the Panzerwaffe as the T-34 747(r). Now you can become the commander of this legendary tank!
