You are right, the Soviet tanks are very strong, therefore I wanted to suggest them to make more poorly and through improvements to finish to level, which at them now.

We already did that in some way - the teching costs.
To unlock stronger tanks you need to invest a lot of fuel and manpower. To get a t34-85 you first need the Tank Hall, the heavy tankovy upgrade, the 85mm barrel upgrade in the armoury and then the tank itself.
Same with IS-2, they need every upgrade from the Soviet Support Barracks and from the Tank Hall before you can build one.

Abuse is abuse and has to go.

On the other hand, the t-34 76 is probably the best flanking tank in the game, low pop cost, high speed, and it can take a pounding.

Thx :) I have one more question: King Tiger vs IS 3 or ISU 152, that unit is the best in the game?

I think a vet 3 IS3 might stand somewhat of a chance against a king tiger, but good luck getting to vet3 in a game against other people

IMO depending on the support the IS-3 might win. Just an opinion :P

You don't know that for sure.

AT mines Immobilize the big cat and Krak grenades do additional damage. However someone would have to be pretty stupid to Immobilize their KT.

King Tiger isn't immobilized by an AT mine from the Tank Hunters. The more reliable answer is ATGs.

Throw Elite frontal crits on the KT so we can give it the Damaged Engine crit at yellow HP with frontal ATG shots  ;D.

I actually am curious about the maneuverability of T-34s...
Is it just me, or T-34s turn a bit too well for a tank? Sometimes I think it even drifts  ;D
With a T-34, sometimes I find that the best way to deal with a clump of soldiers is to simply crash into them.
With a Stug, Panzer IV (Wehr and PE), Sherman, Cromwell (without Flank speed), I don't think this is possible  ???
Since the soldiers usually quickly get away (despite occasional wrong movements),  while a T-34 is so fast that it can easily chase and make extremely tight turns to run them over.

Note I am not saying they are, I am wandering if they are.
I am the type who enjoy Single Player Campaigns more than Skirmish and Multiplayer.
So despite having bought the game for 2 years I have only played a few Skirmish games and all of them against CPU; maybe this isn't an issue against humans?
And I certainly don't know how a T-34 drives like  ;D, maybe this is why it is a successful tank?
