There were also saw rapid advances in tank design, as each nation tried to out armor and outgun its foes.

To tell this story, Wargaming has teamed up with The Tank Museum, Bovington in the UK to highlight some of the tanks featured in upcoming episodes of The Finest Half Hour. This week we shine a spotlight on one of the best all-around tanks of WW2: The T-34. With a 76 mm gun and 60 degree sloped armor that provided excellent protection against anti-tank weapons, the T-34 was a fearsome opponent on the battlefield.

The T34/85 housed at the Bovington Tank Museum is a post-war model, with improved transmission and other upgrades. It was captured in the Korean War and shipped to the UK for studying.
