When the T-43 was cancelled, the Soviet command made the difficult decision to retool the factories to produce a new model of T-34 with a turret ring enlarged from 1,425 mm (56 in) to 1,600 mm (63 in), allowing a larger turret to be fitted. The T-43’s turret design was hurriedly adapted by V. Kerichev at the Krasnoye Sormovo Factory to fit the T-34. The resulting new T-34-85 tank had a much better gun and finally, a three-man turret with radio (which had previously been in the hull). Now the commander needed only to command the tank, leaving the operation of the gun to the gunner and the loader. Although a T-34-85 仍然不是黑豹的比赛，提高火力使它比以前更有效。改进现有设计而不是为新设计装备的决定，使苏联能够制造坦克的数量之多，以至于能力上的差异可以被认为是微不足道的。1944年5月，韦尔马赫特号只有304只黑豹在东部前线活动，而苏联则把T-34-85的产量增加到每月1200辆坦克。
