When it made its WWII debuted on June 22,1941 the T 34/76 was better then any tank in field at "that time"..Its long barrel F-34 76mm could penetrate all German Armour...head on.
The Sherman..well it was a "nice" tank.Crew friendly and known for its ease of being maintained in the field...Its 75mm T-8/M-3 gun was next to worthless when it first saw combat.Even Sherman's later equipped with a 76mm were considered obsolete after May 1943.
If you go by when it first hit the streets,the T 34/76 is clearly the better tank.
