After the Battle of Moscow, when the Germans have seen the effectiveness of a T-34 tank, Hitler was offered a choice. It was between creating a T-34 clone with German refinements or creating an expensive German designed tank. Naturally because of Hitler's pride, he chose the expensive German design hence the Panther.

WI, instead of choosing this, Hitler had chosen the T-34 design. This is also assuming that German tank production lines which were diluted towards building dozens of different tank models would only focus on making T-34s. This would obviously decrease the cost in the German tank production machine and produce more tanks because of a more efficient production line.

So, what would be the effects on the war?
