Ah !!! a Big Yes.

Ah yes …. debunking the myth of the T-34.(It had good qualities too. See end of answer)The greatest weakness of the T-34 was the transmission. There is no clutch. The engine and the drive shaft with constantly linked. It was up to the driver to use the accelerator and the gear shift to change gears. It has three or four gears but practically speaking, few men could get it out of second gear. To do so required great experience and physical strength. The T-34 was limited to about 15 miles an hour in most cases because it wss so hard to get out of second gear - a problem for fast travel but aacceotsble performsnce for combatvir cros country (sny fastervover rough terrsin was brtslbonnthe crewm).Mainly, the T-34 transmission was horribly unreliable. Until the arrival of good quality Lend Lease manufacturing equipment, the T-34 transmission was known to be good for only about two or three hundred hours. T-34 parts were manufactered by castind steel in a sand mold then having a teensger finish it with hsnd files. It was then matched to plywood templates - only a rough fit was possible. At the Battle of Kursk, Russian T-34s went into action with a spare transmission strapped to their rear deck.But the Soviets were nothing if not inventive. They discovered that a superb Studebaker five-speed transmission could be installed as a “direct fit” (with just a few modifications to the tank chasdus).Two T-34s were provided to Americsns for evaluation. Most notably, the Americsns wrote back “whoever dedigned that air filter is a traitor” (gulp!).Only one in ten T-34s had radios. This required to troop leader (the tank with the radio) to stand in the cupola in combat and wave flags to direct the other tanks. In practice, T-34s often simply rushed the enemy without tactical maneuver.Soviet tank doctrine sought “deep penetration” operations. But with such poor communications, even when deep penetrations were achieved, T-34 task forces were left to bevsurrounded snd snnihilated with monotonous regularity.The Soviets tried to adapt capped naval armor piercing shells to tsnk usage. Early war poor quality Soviet tank shells often broke up on impact.T-34s were rushed thru production with an astonishing variance of quality. Sometimes hull welds were poor and rsin water leaked into the tank.Very very few T-34s and T-34 crews survived the war.Misha Firer's answer correctly states that the T-34 was not the “greatest tank of WW2”that but somewhat exaggerates the flaws.Even with sll those flaws, the Siviet T-34s of 1943 were better tanks than the American Shermans of 1943.The T-34 had one meter wide tracks that performed well in snow.The main gun and sights was more than adequate for the task at hand when T-34s could get to close ranges.At Kursk, T-34s were ordered to conduct ramming attacks whenever possible. (A solid ramming attack would wreck the transmissions of both tanks.)The question did not ask about the T-34(85) - very different kettle of finish (that by mid-1944 derived every benefit of abundant American Lend Lease).

Everyone should have two monitors. Three monitors is fine too but once you get to four, you should really make sure that you need all of that real-estate and that you can actually make use of it all.I've used three monitors for a pretty long time now, in roughly the same orientations as your three. Personally, I keep the smallest screen off to one side, use the wide screen as a main monitor, and use the vertical screen to look at long segments of code and read articles/documents. In this setup, the smallest screen basically always just has Spotify running or something else that I only occasionally need to look at.This is why I argue that two monitors is necessary, three monitors is nice: you really don't get as much out of that third monitor unless it's in a position where you can look at it quickly from any other screen.I think that the benefits of multiple screens have nothing to do with the number of screens and everything to do with the amount of screen real-estate and that you quickly get diminishing returns out of more monitors. Therefore, this might be the ultimate monitor: LG 34UM95-P - 34" AH-IPS LED-Backlit LCD Monitor w/ USB 3.0 Hub.
