>>17918263Moment everyone started figuring out what worked (torsion bar suspension, cast+welded armour, 500hp+ engines) they were able to make dramatically better vehicles, though I think one thing that often gets forgotten is how important optics are and how much better modern AFVs are them compared to the WWII vehicles' scarce periscopes.
On the surface for instance, an MT-LB looks worse than a T-34 in every way, but even its optics are head and shoulders above even the IS-3 or Tiger I.
