Many of the medium tank lines became what are called main battle tanks in most countries. The most widely produced, cost effective and successful tanks of World War II (the German Panzer IV, the Soviet T-34, and the American M4 Sherman) were all medium tank designs. A medium tank's classification is not actually based on weight, but off of tactical usage and intended purpose for instance the German Panzerkampfwagen V Panther medium tank has a mass similar to contemporary Allied heavy tanks. A medium tank is a classification of tanks, particularly prevalent during World War II which represented a compromise between the mobility oriented light tanks and the armour and armament oriented heavy tanks.
