Uhh.. no. If you like a tank with no turret basket (fighting compartment), no radio except if you are the company commander, and extremely difficult and time consuming to bail out of (not good if it catches fire), then the T-34 is for you. Yet, despite it's so called technological superiority, the Germans still rolled over the Soviets in the initial phases of Barbarossa. And this was with Czech 38t's and early versions of Mark III's and IV's. The digs at the Sherman are unwarranted and based on myths and legends promoted by the ill-informed. You want longevity? Modified Shermans were in active combat with the IDF through the mid-70s. On the flip side, you want unreliable? Try a Panther or a Tiger - take your pick.
