Hello guys,
while we were working on the new version of RWM people told us that panzer 3 50 mm during barbarossa operation had a good effect against t 34. We are interested in your opinion whether panzer 3 with 50 mm should do more damage to t 34 tanks than it has today in RWM vers. 4.1 final.
Please that your opinions be objective on the basis of research and not to be your desires
panzer 3 vs t34

Re: panzer 3 vs t34
After some research,
I don't think the Panzer III did that good damage to the T34 with the 50mm gun. The T34-76 had sloped armor which made the German Panzer III (50mm) and the AT guns under the Pak40 mostly ineffective and useless. Besides the T34 had a good gun (76mm) against the Panzer III armor which I think was the Ausf J+ 50mm all around.
Not really sure if my information is correct though

Re: panzer 3 vs t34
Germany launched Operation Barbarossa, its invasion of the Soviet Union, on 22 June 1941. At the start of hostilities, the Red Army had 967 T-34 tanks and 508 KV tanks The T-34 was superior to any tank the Germans then had in service. The diary of Alfred Jodl seems to express surprise at the appearance of the T-34 in Riga.Initially, the Wehrmacht had great difficulty destroying T-34s in combat, as standard German anti-tank weaponry proved ineffective against its heavy, sloped armour. In one of the first known encounters, a T-34 crushed a 37 mm PaK 36, destroyed two Panzer IIs, and left a 14-kilometre (8.7 mi)-long swathe of destruction in its wake before a howitzer destroyed it at close range.In another incident, a single Soviet T-34 was hit more than 30 times by a battalion-sized contingent of German 37mm and 50mm anti-tank guns, yet survived intact and drove back to its own lines a few hours later.The Germans were forced to deploy 105 mm field guns and 88 mm anti-aircraft guns in a direct fire role to stop them.
Here its evident that the 50mm anti tank guns can not destroy the T34 unless at close range, so why would it be different for the PZIII with the 50mm gun.

Never was so much owed by so many to so few
