Indeed. Luckily for the Red Army, the T-34 was a fine medium tank. Many historians/military techies rate it as the finest of WWII (or #2 to the mid-production Panther). Unfortunately, tanker training early in the war was terrible and, as a result, attrition was high. Once the Soviets started installing radios in their tanks (besides command tanks), training techniques improved, and crews started surviving engagements and gaining experience, they were at least a match for their German opponents.
