Comparing: M4A3E2 Sherman Jumbo vs. T-34-85 vs. Type 58

The heavy-armored assault variant of the M4A3(75)W. The vehicle featured additional 38-mm armor plates, enhanced transmission compartment hatch, and a new turret with enhanced armor that was developed on the basis of the T23 turret.

Final modification of the T-34 tank of 1943. A new three-man gun turret allowed a more powerful 85-mm gun to be mounted. This greatly increased the combat effectiveness of the tank compared to its predecessor, the T-34-76. A total of more than 35,000, in several variants, were produced. Today the tank is still in service in several countries.

The U.S.S.R. exported a total of 1,800 T-34-76 and T-34-85 tanks to China. In 1954 the Chinese government made the decision to begin domestic production of the T-34-85 in 1958, with the new vehicle designated the Type 58. However, production was never initiated, and the Chinese army settled for modifications to the Soviet-made T-34s.
