I think the original article did mention that Chinese T-34-85 exited active service in the 1990s. Also, at that time, each Military Region's Armour Command had a regional repair shop that could significantly repair and modify a batch of tanks received from its tank division or tank regiment, so the T-34-85's modification was not standardised across the PLA; each MR can adjust it according to its assigned sector Fun fact did you know that from 1958 to 1983, PLA was a heavy infantry-based army in which most infantry divisions performed as a static defence unit; only at the regional level held one or two tank divisions or even tank regimens (excluding the 38th Army. Also it change slightly after 1976) as its counter-offensive force, so the MR's armour command only oversees its MR's tank division's training, logistic and Maintainance, so it has nothing to command; is a bureaucracy itself.

I don't know anything about World of Tanks, but War Thunder also recreates some Chinese T-34s. We have the normal T-34-85 with the ZIS-S-53 cannon, a premium version of it which is the No.215 shown here: 11:10, and we have what appears to be a Type 58 with the second cupola (mounting the Type 54 MG referred to as a DShK), the turret stowage for the Type 54, and the transmission hull plate modification. This vehicle is named "T-34-85 Gai" which apparently represents "modified" in Chinese.

If you are planning on T-54, it can still make sense to start production of the obsolete T-34 as this would allow for gaining experience in the various required manufacturing process. This doesn't mean they finished a whole new tank. Building and testing hull plates would be vital to prepare for the expected T-54. Overhaul of damaged T-34 hulls could absorb the production of plates, leaving no time in which a complete domestic Chinese hull would be viable in that narrow windo.
@ottovonbismarck2443 Жыл бұрын
From a production standpoint, this wouldn't make any sense at all. You'd need two sets of machinery tools, which cost money and time. Why would you set up two different lines when you're intending to use only one ? You gain the same experience when you just go with the T-54 line. A road wheel is a road wheel, a track is a track and an engine is an engine. It's not that you have to teach people how to fly. A limited production of spare parts, yes, which also trains your workforce, a full scale production line, no. No matter if socialism or capitalism, you won't intentionally waste your resources on a dead project. That said, history and present are full of examples which show exactly this ...
@xt6wagon Жыл бұрын
@@ottovonbismarck2443 you want to go from 0 to making viable t54 in one go? You have t34 production documentation. You need t34 parts anyway. You even need to repair damaged tanks with hull and turret damage. That's if the planned sharing of t54 plans happen. Best plan for what if the deal fails.

Okay, I do hate T-34 in any shape or form for my own good reasons. But the designer made a decent job. I mean before they asked him to make it much cheaper and then cut the costs in half before the production even started. It should look more like the T-44. That's why I say it was decent design work.

Well the T-34 is the tank you build to avoid losing a war. T-44 is the tank you want to build when you are already winning the war. So Russia had little choice at the time.

you can hate the tank all you want or bootlicking Lazerpig for sharing the same primitive mindset, Bevington Tank Museum says the best: it wasn't just about the T-34 tank, it was about the spirit of the people who made this tank a legendary war machine despite all its flaws and how it was build. Its reputation isn't paper stats, but how poorly trained peasants and workers, under harsh condition beat back a group of professional genocidal military force that seemingly unstoppable at one point.

@@ihatecabbage7270 Funny how they only managed to do that because of allied bombing of German industry, lend lease supplying raw materials and chemicals to soviet industry so they actually had enough steel to churn out their shit-tier rolling coffins, and expending American, British, French, Canadian and others lives to open up additional fronts to relieve pressure on the soviets. Almost like it was a group effort or something. Also, I'm guessing you didn't actually watch Lazerpig's video if you think there's any sort of "primitive mindset" involved, because he kind of spends.... the entire fucking time addressing what you're going on about. He doesn't rattle on about the tank is shit because it's shit. He explains why they war time construction ones were pretty shit, what was shit about them in great detail, and that the post-war ones were built to a higher standard because they weren't being built on strict time tables anymore.

It pays to do research into the proper terms for armored vehicles if you want to make a video about them. Yes I know it's pedantic to differentiate tank destroyers assault guns and tanks but there is good reason to do so. I'm sure for most of the people that's unimportant but for those who have studied the subject you getting that wrong as a bit of an annoyance.
