The Soviet T-64 medium tank (main battle tank in practice) was an exceptionally innovative and complex design, though it was also plagued with significant teething issues. Large setbacks were encountered with the engine, suspension, and autoloading system. These earned it a great deal of criticism which would lead to parallel developments such as the T-72 and T-80. The T-64 would have been thrown in the trash altogether had the T-64A variant not greatly improved its overall reliability. Though the T-64A was accepted for service, it did still have some issues which would be ironed out over time.
