IIRC, part of the reason for that was due to the US Forces being more experienced with their Shermans. The North Koreans only got training in the T-34/85, but no actual combat experience using them, so they weren't able to use them to their full potential.

As for production numbers, the Sherman series were produced in comparable numbers to the T-34, and the United States only started producing Shermans in 1942, or two years after Operation Barbarossa, where T-34s were already in service. Quote:

Comparing armor on a T-34 verses a M4 Sherman is fairly pointless since they can both knock each other out fairly easily. The Sherman's advantages are mainly the ability to get off the first shot more accurately (or if that fails, probably get off two more before the T-34 can get off a second shot).
And by Korea, the Shermans operating there were the 76mm cannon armed "Easy Eights" rather than the 75mm cannon tanks that rolled into North Africa and Europe early on. And certainly not the British Sherman Fireflys. By Korea that roll was firmly in the hands of the M26s and M46s. (The Americans did not have Sherman Fireflys, though they sometimes tried to get some when higher ups kept delaying the M26).

Generally, the two tanks are fairly even, with T-34s working better for Soviet operational doctrine, and Shermans working better for American tactical doctrine. Which you'd prefer is going to depend on which doctrine you think is better.

Also about T-34 series being for winning by steel wave tactics....it's not just about numbers. T-34 is meant for mangling the operational and strategic rear by speed and mobile encirclements. It isn't like ocean waves smashing on cliffs. More like bypassing the strongest defences, leave them to die on the vine while all around vast swathes of territory fall into Soviet control.

80s era American televisions... The heroes always hit the vehicles and no one was hurt (badly at least)...They just never hit people with guns. But they would always blow up or flip over the enemy's cars and trucks, if not crush them after the enemy jumped out at the last second.
That or snipe a lock at 60 mph from the side window of a car on short notice. Momo must be a spy for the Black Forest, since she's not up to 80's TV standards of hero accuracy.

"Katyusha" is 74 years old. Almost 75 years old. I think there is a copyright limit somewhere around that point. If it is 75, Crunchroll might have issues with it, but by the time it gets a US BD release, the issue should be gone regardless of who own the copyright.

You mean StuG. It holds a meaning - Sturmgeschutz or something like that - but I wouldn't be surprised if they repair it. It's both an important vehicle (along with the Panzer IV) due to it's gun, and as far as tanks go, suffered the lightest damage (While the jammed turret ring might be able to be repaired, it would probably be fragile enough that it would be too much trouble. The fact that it jammed facing straight forwards would help the PzIV actually act as a TD, albeit an overly tall and awkward one.
A damaged track, though, could actually be repaired fairly quickly all things considered. I just feel sorry for the team they send out to retrieve the lost tread.
