They noted that the use of high-alloy steel and other high-quality materials results in armor that is much harder than even specified in the technical conditions, but more ductile.
Chrysler concluded that the shortcomings of the T-34 stemmed not from technological backwardness, but from a shortage of highly skilled labor and equipment during the war years.
Moreover, in analyzing the tank, experts "found that the T-34 was the limit not only for the Soviet Union, but also for the US industry."
To cook a quality borscht, an experienced housewife mixes the ingredients well. If she lacks something, she can compensate with something else. The 8C grade armor steel alloy—the one used on the T-34—provided for limited use of scarce materials and wide use of non-scarce materials. There was little nickel in it, but there was a lot of manganese and silicon. This alloy, in combination with economical alloying, provided good armor protection.
