For whatever it is worth I am in agreement with your most recent edits They certainly seem to be moving in the direction to place the T 34 s contributions solidly within the Soviet sphere of influence regarding post war tank design This distinction is important since the Western Cold War powers rejected the Soviet strategy for tank design With the decisive results seen in Desert Storm and OIF I don t think anyone would take exception to the idea that the Soviet strategy of fielding large numbers of cheap tanks was inferior to the Western strategy of creating smaller numbers of tanks that could achieve and maintain battlefield superiority over their presumptive enemies of the Cold War I will do my best not to edit a section in such a way that it nullifies the corresponding citation If I should fall into this error I trust that you or DMorpheus will make inform me and help make the necessary correction
