Nooooooooo I hate tanks with more than one gun .

I've changed my mind about the 88mm gun. It seems even the Russian D-10T 100mm gun is even a more powerful(ideal gun) for a medium WWII tank. And the gun is available late in WWII period.

It can be carried by a T34(T34-100) as seen in the following picture:



So

T54 armor thickness
T34 mobility and sloping and simplicity
100mm D-10T gun or equivalent
T72 turret shape and T54 hull size.


Raaawrrr

In the end, after looking at the criteria, my ideal WWII [medium] tank simply to have already existed in second world war,

The T54(March 1945).



In my opinion The T54 revolutionary ballistic protection shape and high mobility, powerful gun and low silhoutte would make it the war winning machine of its day. Had it been introduced a year or two sooner it would reign king in second world war. The fact that it was used into late 1980s even now in some countries is a testament of its design quality. Its high production number also testified to the confidence it gave to the Soviet army.
