Sherman V T-34 V Panzer IV.....?

[Vincenzo]

A good document for the T-34....it takes 13.8 seconds to do a full 360 deg turn of the turret

The following site gives details for the Sherman.... Medium Tank M4 Sherman , the turret traversing rate is 24 degrees per second, or slightly slower than the T-34/76, 14.4 secs

I dont know the exact traverse rate for the Mk-IV, but the wide tracks for the mkIV, the Ostkette were not available until the late summmer of 1944, and then only with a limited scale of issue. Most of the MkIVs career were fought with narrow tracks, so it is not incorrect the T-34 as having a decided mobility advantage over the MkIV

the doc was for IS tanks not for T-34

idk if is reliable but this tables Product prices
show that a sherman cost around 120k RM (at exchange of 2.5 RM for a $) and a Pz IVG 116k RM, a Pz V around 130k RM (my calculation on w/o weapons cost).
but all this is wrong the money cost is near no importance, the real cost need know it'show many man hours and raw materials and weight of this for the economy of country
