Everybody here knows of the Soviet T-34 tank which was considered one of the best tanks in the world when it first entered combat in 1941. 84 thousand were produced in two main variants and it is an icon of the Soviet struggle in Second World War.
Now my question is, what would happen if the Germans decided to directly copy the T-34, only modifying it to make it more usable in their service? The same modifications they implemented on captured Soviet tanks. Things like commanders cupola, improved radio equipment, side skirts and very likely their own, German made long 75 mm gun. I am not sure about the engine, would they use diesel engine like in original, or would they use petrol engines like in the rest of their tanks.
Would it be put in production instead of Pz 3 and 4, and would it butterfly away completely the German Panther tank?
