Actually the T34 was only superior in the first year of the war, against the 50mm P3 and the short 75 P4D. Against the long 75 P4F2, it was about equal and against the longer 75/up armored P4G/H, it was far inferior. The t34/85 was on par with the G/H but vastly inferior to the panther.
Anyways, the t34 is like the CoH 1 sherman. Great for anti infantry...not great for much else.
I typically build 2 anyway though. I find them quite useful for support
