Which tank was better T-34 or Sherman?
The Sherman and Cromwell tanks were protected by up to three inches of armor, with lower degrees of protection on the sides and rear. The lighter 1941-model T-34 had only 45 to 60 millimeters of armor, but this was heavily sloped up to 60 degrees, resulting in comparable effectiveness.
Is Panzer 4 better than T-34?
To cope with this threat, the Pz. IV was given thicker armour and refitted with a long-barreled, high-velocity gun that could better penetrate the T-34’s armour. The improved Pz. IV could engage the T-34 on nearly equal terms and was superior to the U.S. Sherman tank in many respects.

How did the Pz III deal with the Soviet T34?
The 1941 Pz III (Typically with a 50mm L42 but a lot had the 37mm) was undergunned to deal with a contemporary T34 and more so if facing a KV, they had a much better crew layout than the early T34. But Soviet tactics and training in 1941 were poor, while the Germans were at their peak and that counted for more than the gun vs armour match.
Why was the T-34 so unpopular?
