Tank biathlon 2020, WW2-era T-34-85 (Czech-made for Laos, bought recently by Russia) medium tanks taking part in the exercises. 

Notice the struggle the driver is going through just keeping the tank moving.

I spoke to the drivers at Bovington. They said that the Shermans were the best to drive because, while smooth, the Tiger is so precious that you are in constant anxiety of breaking it, and the T-34 85 is such a shaking, hot, loud, backbreaking experience that you never want to get in it again.
