Just been wondering that.

Yes. Long barrels have higher muzzle velocity, and therefor better penetration, range and accuracy.

In terms of guns. Muzzle Velocity=Penetration and size=damage done with HE rounds.

For sure the Real life T34 was probably a better tank overall, more reliable, cheaper, faster and quick to make. Plus im sure the RL T34's armor was better then in game, it has 60mm sloped at like 60 degrees? or something like that so its armor is actually just as good as the KV's 100mm plus the chance for the shell to deflect, but in MoW it is 52mm turret and 47mm hull armor so its butter and sucks.

I'm pretty sure the armor thickness is correct. T-34/76 and T-34/85 were both pretty weak in terms or armor. Very vulnerable, German 37mm AT guns could penetrate frontal armor under 100m IIRC, and 50mm AT guns at even longer ranges.
