They featured a new three-man turret and the 85mm D-5T gun, which provided substantially greater firepower and enabled more effective combat against heavily armored German tanks. At the same time, the proven hull—constructed from sloped armor plates—and the reliable V-2 diesel engine were retained, ensuring the tank remained highly mobile and easy to operate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe D-5T variant was produced for only a short time before being replaced by a version armed with the ZiS-S-53 gun—a weapon that was simpler and easier to manufacture—which became the standard armament for T-34-85 tanks.
