They had met the German Panther for the first time on the field of battle, and the mighty Tiger I was being encountered in increasing numbers. The Soviets desperately needed a tank with a “longer arm”, and the solution offered up by a crash development program was a T-34 with a larger turret and a larger gun. This new tank was known as the T-34/85, and it featured an 85mm antitank gun (derived from an anti-aircraft gun of the same caliber) mounted in a larger three-man turret. This more powerful tank entered service from March 1944 onwards and it was an immediate “hit”. (Perhaps one of the hardest Dragon Armor pieces to find. It's taken us 3 months to locate this unique model). Payment Agreement: I ONLY ACCEPT PAYPAL FOR ALL BUYERS. If you don't read more
