Garg, one word comes to mind with you last post……
NICE!
The T-34 was the strongest and most reliable of the war. As for the US and the UKs tanks, the reason why they had such small armour, was because they had to get thier first. The only was america and UK could get tanks to were the fighting was was by boat, so the smaller the tank, the more space. But the T-34s were american designed.
While it is true that the basic idea for the chasis was concieved by an american the T-34 was far from being designed by one. Many fine russian designers spent their talents on this fine tank.
