PIV (ost one) is by far weakest medium tank overall. While T34 is weaker in terms of AT its much cheaper has really decent AI for its cost and still can deliver puches when flanking.
PIV on the other hand have to face tanks like Jacksons and Fireflyes which can destoy it really quickly, not to mention that its main damage still comes from MGs rathen then main gun, all tanks T34\85, Sherman, Cromwell, EZ and so on have by far better AI power and 85\EZ have better AT capabilities. But lets forget about doc tanks.
Cromwell is insanly fast with vet, have really good penetration for its cost (which is cheaper then PIV), can crush inf insanly good, can flank effectively and have, has non doc smoke with vet and can be upgraded with tank commander for fast vetting.
Sherman has bad AT but really great AI, perfect supportive tank which is really a big problem for inf sometimes.
T34 is decent tank, still quite good AI after buff, main advantage - its cheap + it comes with SU76 which is cheap aswell and can fight almost all tanks. Really good combination of AI + AT here.
Now lets look at PIV, it suppose to be everything from everything but at the end its just shit. With middle cost of all med tanks, with slightly better T34 AI and poor AT capabilities. It can fight only T34\Sherman effectively but have problems with call-ins and Cromwell. Allies TDs raping him and if there is Pershing\Comet\IS\ISU you wasted your fuel. If you need AI you go for ostwind if you need AT you go for Stug, but there is almost no reason to pick PIV if you are not snowballing your enemy.
