As said by others, Ace is overall a better skill than Critical Shot. If there's only one enemy incoming (which is where CS shines), chances are your deathball is going to be rolling over the opposition anyways. Jagdtiger might have lower stats than T-34, but has better penetration and range, which are what you want on a tank built to one-shot stuff. Only time I can think of that CS > Ace is a rush tank charging your commander (either sneaking past deathball or before your deathball gets going), and JT will do the job just as well as T-34. Rather than saying T-34 is better than JT, I'd say it's a tradeoff of cost for range/penetration since they're both one-shotting anything that's not a heavy anyways.

All this being said, this is still arguing which is the worst member of the overall best class of tank in the game (mediums), a class where every single tank is perfectly viable.
