T-34 Deserve his fame

[Zerstörer]

First of all, calm down and don't flame each other. No keyboard fights around here.

Once again I have to point out that we are well aware of all the tanks and history which concerns them very well.  Animating and throwing tanks left/right/center is incredibly difficult, time consuming, and a freaking headache for balance trying to cram in all sorts. Ain't gonna happen

If you play comp stomping alone, you're unlikely to ever realize this, but you need specific roles for units that do not overlap each other.

In other words...these ain't gonna happen. Sorry

I kind of agree that there should be an indiviual upgrade for the T34, that would cost ammo and modernize it. The t34 that orgionally builds would be a m1941, but it can be upgraded to m43 before the 85mm upgrade, maybe, just throwing ideas around. Upgrading to m1943 would actually make the T34 be able to hit something and have a little more armor.

T34/85 II-1947, no for obvious reasons. Midas well have the T44/100 or T44/122.

However, i think it would be a good idea to put the standard T44/85, as it did see service. It would be a more heavily armored T34/85. Myabe as an expensive individual upgrade on T34/85's?

In regards to that 'countdown' its a piece of crap it is totally wrong.

Secondly most people will agree that overall the panther was the best tank of the war followed by the Sherman and T34.

Finally the T34 is fine as is. You can tech to it fast, it has a fast as build time and well its fast. Also generally only the mediocre to okay tanks have abilities, the T34 doesn't need any.

If you want to deal with Panthers and Tigers, either add SUs to the T34 mix and micro well OR get the IS2 out to deal with them

I am not trying to start anything but...At 1.04 Soviets have no counter for tigers or panthers, my IS 2's get killed by panzer IV's my SU-85-100's are killed easily and my AT infantry are mowed down, hah the only way I managed to kill a panther was after the main dispute when I sent the sniper Ace to hunt it down and kill it gradually with AT grenades.

for panthers and tigers try 2 SU100s supported by 3-4 T-34/76 or /85 (which ever is available) or 2 IS-2s you'll do some real damage, or just get a shit ton of PTRD squads and rush the tank and throw nades on it... that always work  my poor tanks

[guynumber7]

IS2's getting kileld by panzer 4's...WHAT AM I READING

PzIVs will take down an IS if you allow them to flank it....just like they would with a Pershing. though IS has enough mobility to keep that from happening. Its because of the sheer mount of shots they can pump out and it has decent penetration.

Your main tank late game should always be the T34/85 ,which can handle/beat any panzer apart from a Panther.
Its fast enough to even circle strafe a Tiger. It can also take alot of shrek shots if you keep the front armour towards them so it can stay around and support infantry esily. The only small problem is the Pak due to its bug, it will always cause 400 hpts of damage (against ANY tank regardless of armour) in a small amount of time. And we can't keep on piling hitpoints just to counteract that as it unbalances everything else.

An SU in the back is always a great help because it will always penetrate and do good damage vs any german tank.

IS-2, you should only really build to counter Panthers 1v1 as it will constantly kill it. Also try keeping the Panther in long range cause that's where you have the biggest advantage

[Akalonor]

I'll keep that in mind thanks.

Another documentary about tanks and...T-34,of course.

Tanks Steel Tiger Tank 3/5

I'm trying to decide wheather the T-34 is UP or OP now.....

[vietlord]

in my mind all russian tanks have an awfull ability called mechanics ... quick repair - reconstructing in ... on a hard fight german kill tanks ok ... but free to built back !!! the PE berg is a big target and  never spam

if german owns the fight they destroy or ammo-steal the tank body ... but t-34 repaired under fire by 4 guys ... staline is jealous !!!

 i don't say it is unbalance
i say T-34 has simplicity and speed, that fits me
(to my mine, technically T-34 was better than sherman, but in CoH the price means something more for US

[cephalos]

t-34 was called the best tank of Sceond WW because Soviets won.

Firepower? They hadn't radio com-links, the 76,2mm cannon was good at the beginning. And of course this "perfect" soviet aiming systems.
Armour? What did they call armour? Of course at the beginning of war it was hard to beat t-34's frontal armour, but since appearing pzIVF1 it wasn't so hard to destroy t-34 from 1000-1500 meters. Tigers were shooting and destroying t-34 from 3000m.
Fear Factor? Well,it works if there were dozens od t-34s charging, but half of them would be just shoot off before they would even think of engaging German tanks. Tiger had the fear factor, but not t-34,for God's Sake!

Only thing with I would agree was mobility. It was realy one of biggest t-34 advantages, however it was often used to run away or just rushing straight to enemy lines.

Hell march soviet

[Akalonor]

@vietlord, on the contrary, I have seen Bergetigers spammed early game, they are extremely irritating and nearly unstoppable when three start repairing each other at the same time -.-
