1.702 The T-34/76

[Orle]

So, ive been playing with the T-34/76 more lately. Been a fan of these tanks for a long time. (recently bought a 1/35 scale model of one, really nice )

But i feel like the 76 model is pretty crappy ingame, the cannon is fine(since its based on the shermans 75mm, but its armour feels weak, and its accuracy/sight range is horrible.
I dont really see the point in making its accuracy and sight so bad ingame i mean, if i understand the coh stats correctly the T-34 has a 30% chance to miss shots even at point blank range which is pretty wierd imo

Is anything being done about its sight range?? a commanders cupola upgrade would be really useful

And finally, is there any way to see how much hitpoints it have?? Can't find anything in the Unit section, and the EF section of the Coh wiki is pretty outdated.

Do you have corsix mod studio and some experience with it?  You can open the "Eastern_Front.module" located in 'C:\Program Files\THQ\Company of Heroes' with corsix mod studio, then you can check the Ebps of the T34 and see its hit points/armor type.

I think the t-34 is getting a buff next patch, but I don't know if it's both the 76 and the 85, or just one of them.

I think it's supposed to be a trade off of accuracy and resilience in favor of speed and production time/cost

Thanks for the replies, really appreciate it

Also, the gun on the t34/76 has better penetration than the one on the sherman as well, but you have to make sure you can hit the enemy tank first 

Some solutions to this problem include getting up close to the enemy (not recommended against infantry wielding handheld AT however), or stopping the tank before it fires, since firing on the move greatly decreases accuracy even more (this tactic is also used with the cromwell as well, since it has horrible accuracy on the move in comparison to other tanks)

Oh, the pen is better?? Good to know  Shoot and scoot is really useful ofc, but with the really bad accuracy, you end up missing even at close range
In what changelog can i see its current vet btw

[Jeff 'Robotnik' W.]

lets see...

T-34
Vet 1 - 20% increase in accuracy
Vet 2 - 20% more penetration
vet 3 - 15% more range


so if you do get it to vet 1 it helps with the T34's accuracy problem 

[Orle]

ah, nice

It would be very useful to have more info in the unit section btw, things like hitpoints, vet bonuses

I can understand why Soviet Infantry get worse vet than Americans

But vehicles?  Come on now.

Well, american vehicles are harder to get vet, even more so since their vet 1 bonus (25% increase in speed) is basically useless, and even more so because a speed boost means nothing without an acceleration boost

Actually because of the crappy Vet 1 bonus for american vehicles i would consider american vehicle vet to be worse overall

ah, nice

Ah yes it would. I was actually thinking of using the skills im learning with visual basic to maybe make a program which parses unit info for a mod and displays all the important stuff in an easy to use way

The t-34/76's 76gun has very low accurcy:50% chance to hit at 20m-40m,60% at 10m-20m,70% at 0-10m ingnore its modifies to different target.....But he modifiers to most tanks and vehicles and all infantry are 1.So the whole percentage of hits isnt so bad I think,especially in close combat....
