In WW2, it was only the newest and latest virtually unproven designs that guaranteed a winning edge.
Unfortunately, many paid the ultimate price when that new technology or design had flaws that produced early and unexpected failures. That's the price of winning wars

Germany kit was better than Allied kit, just they had a manufacturing and people resource issue................. losing 10 T34s for every German tank sound like a bad ratio until you have 2000 T34's and they have 100 tanks.

Russian Tanks were no way superior but they just had a hell of a lot more of them.
