Still not impressed. Production of all thsoe t34 assumes it was designed a couple years earlier, or that accelerated production occurs. (most likely both). In either case the mechanical problems of the earlier tanks apply to the t34s & in the case of accelerated production are worse.

The training problem must be accounted for. One of the reasons for the sucess of the t34 equippe regiments in 1941 is that they usually included the better trained leaders and crews. Some were made up of the training staff of the school unit. So these were not your average July 1941 tank regiment.

My small study of the Wehrmachts supply problems of June thru Dec 1941 suggests slowing down a couple weeks might be better anyway.
