As someone who spent last several hundred battles driving a Panzer IV derp (rarely with golden ammo though), I can tell you that out of the 3 main tier 5 tanks (Panzer IV, Sherman, T-34), the T-34 is (presumably thanks to its sloped armor) the most difficult to destroy by HE shells - they often do 0 damage (when shooting the turret, which has a large mantlet, that isn't very strong on paper, but tends to "eat" he and HEAT shells.

Accuracy is the best in its class (no other tier V medium is as good as this), mobility is just on par with the other mediums (faster than PzIV, similar to M4 sherman), and the reload is super good. I can actually keep an enemy's turret ring destroyed with the amount of shots i can get into it (i kill other T-34s this way, because the turret ring sticks out, for instance). That was an interesting vehicle, but i think a T-34 with a 85mm gun placed on (no turret change) would make a tier 6 premium (pref. mm) better than it would a tier V tank. This game doesn't need any more derps eitherkunstderfuguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03824611101869610603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-803236411311363895.post-48034602677127224312013-04-17T20:22:18.222+02:002013-04-17T20:22:18.222+02:00I guess he could have helped, but I don't know...I guess he could have helped, but I don't know how common such a thing would have been.

I guess you could give the tank the ability to turn in place, but that kind of maneuver demanded ridiculous strength from the driver (~350 N of force on both levers, in two different directions).

I'm glad you brought thi...Hello SilentStalker,<br /><br />I'm glad you brought this tank into a highlight.It is still one of my favorite tanks,but it has too big weaknesses compared to it's counterparts.<br /><br />The aim time of the 57 mm is way too big. I fire at 1.94 seconds,the aim time is double at least.(I feel it that way...or the dispersion is awful when I fully aim and shoot)<br /><br />Accuracy on the move is horrible. I miss almost everything even at very very close range (and I know how to shoot,where to aim and so on). As Cyberfries said above,it is very very sluggish. I accelerate until the top speed of 54 or 55km/h in a lifetime. It turns slow and it can't circle anything. That 57 is very good on circling,but the T-34 has a bad reputation for doing that.<br /><br />I enjoyed it until the other tier 5 tanks appeared : Crusader,AT-2,Type T-34...and gold ammo came on the scene.Now it's almost a one shot for derps...I am damaged by the smallest gun on the battlefield,the 45 mm angled armor is pretty bad,worse than the M4 or M3 lee... <br /><br />WG should bring this tank back to life...it is said that the T-34 was the best medium tank of WW2.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14477598153060872328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-803236411311363895.post-2045985610368929282013-04-17T19:26:21.841+02:002013-04-17T19:26:21.841+02:00Dont like it.
You're talking about uparmoring ...Dont like it.<br />You're talking about uparmoring and uparming the T-34, but those aren't its weak points.<br />The 57mm is a nice gun, which suits the tank well and the armor is about as effective as other tier 5 medium armor is.<br /><br />The problems of the T-34 are:<br />1. Derp gun, or better the lack of it.<br /> But developers said, they want to address the derp problem.<br />2. mobility. It is way to slow and it is very, very sluggish. That is a horrible weakness, which destroys the tank for me.<br /><br />T-34 would be fine if it were more manouvrable, but it is way to sluggish.<br /><br />CyberfriesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
