The T-34 , for all the reasons that Jarndice said and a good diesel engine.
" Well the Tank design with its sloping armour and wide tracks that set the shape of Tanks from then right up to today is the T34 it was also the Tank that was responsible for halting and reversing the progress of German armour in the East,
Yes I know about the KV1/2 but the T34 was produced in greater numbers than any other Tank in WW2 and was the only Tank to be re-turreted and up-gunned from a 2 man turret to a 3 man and from 75mm to 85mm Main gun."
It had to be pretty good to work in those cold Russian winters.
