Now if the best tank was which side could produce the most and send piecemeal into a battle of attriction, the T-34 wins...

This thread is entitled the best tank of WW2...therefore you must take into account the reliability and production rate. I have already stated that the Panther has a better chance of winning in a fight (which rarely happened anyway, i.e. one on one tank battles) against a T-34/85 as long as it doesn't break down or malfunction in any other way. Furthermore, who the heck wouldn't want to go into battle in a tiger (heavy) opposed to a Sherman (medium). However, if the question was which one would they rather have to fight a world war with, most of the answers would be changed over to the Sherman.
