T-34-85 | Bully of The Battlefield

Hello everyone and welcome back to the channel! In this video, we take out one of the best medium tanks (in my opinion) in War Thunder. With a mobile platform that can take hits and dish out damage, this vehicle is sure to become one of your favorites.

I definitely dig your playstyle, I look forward to seeing how fast your channel grows!

[@PolarPlays_]

Im glad you like it! I’m still figuring out the whole commentary thing as I go, but the feedback has been good so far. There’s more content on the way, thanks for tagging along! o7

T-34-85 never disappoints.

[@PolarPlays_]

Such a good vehicle. Was working on recording for my next video and they kept giving me a hard time, karma at its finest.

[@sarahhillier9282]

good work on the channel I've been waiting for the next post good work

[@PolarPlays_]

I’m trying to get on a better schedule to do more than 1 upload a week, I’m just busy with work and home life at the moment. Trying to get another out either tomorrow or Friday!

[@notimetoexplain4213]

I thought this was gonna be a panther video for a sec lol

[@PolarPlays_]

The new update is working as intended. All medium tanks have been changed to the Panther D. No further questions will be taken at this time - Gaijin

Genuinely underrated youtuber, these videos are on par to some of the more popular wt youtubers! I really enjoy watching your videos mainly because they feel much more chill and laid back compared to videos from spookston or others. Hello from poland! PS. ASU57/85 next?

[@PolarPlays_]

Wow, thanks so much for the kind words and support! While I do take inspiration from other popular KZbinrs in terms of video composition, I always try to do my own thing. I don’t see myself as a KZbinr, I’m just a guy playing a game and talking to my friends. Ive got a few videos in the works, but I haven’t played either of the ASU’s in a while, so that’s definitely going on my list.

I'd like to add another comment and remind everyone: "Esports ready" when watching 0:00

This comment cracked me up 😂

Made of pure Snailium 😂❤ 176th subscriber, love the content ❤

[@PolarPlays_]

Thank you very much for the support! There were multiple times in these games where I should have been sent to the hanger (the ST-A3 moment rings a bell) but the glorious depleted stalinium kept us alive

@@PolarPlays_ hell yeah love the soviets but hate to go up against them lol ( i usually play British and German tanks :) )

[@lagstabsop6590]

AYOOOOOOOOOOO good vid on the tank I hated the most hahah 🥶🥶🥶

[@nicehaircutmrsvarog]

I played the finnish one and it's very good. Tho I suck at flanking so I die quite often 😂

[@PolarPlays_]

I die a lot when trying to flank too. Good rule of thumb is similar to “there’s always a bigger fish”….theres almost always someone outflanking you. Holding fire until the right time is also difficult for me, as I want to just see the glorious “Target Destroyed” pop up on my screen. Thanks for watching!

[@elcangry855]

It nice tank I personally im fan of the t 44 it way better for me

[@PolarPlays_]

@@elcangry855 the T-44 is another favorite. Sure the 85mm starts getting outclassed at its BR, but the lower profile and sloped armor make it an apex predator. Thanks for watching!

Omg hi, big fan!

[@qcarr]

From Vermont and just found you. Great games and cool tank. I really like the mid-tiers: Easy 8s, Jumbos, T-34-85s, Pershings, T-44s, etc. Will check out more of your content!

[@PolarPlays_]

@@qcarr welcome to the channel from the insanely humid south! My early content was strictly edits. Commentary began with the begleitpanzer. I aim to remake some of the videos before I did commentary. The T-44 is one of my favorites so it’ll be redone soon!

[@Sipulimies_25]

I recommend playing the spj/fm 43-44. It is at 1.7 sweden and has a 150mm gun. I had loads of fun in it myself.

[@PolarPlays_]

I’ll have to check it out and add it to my list to make a video on. I love anything with fun calibers in the triple digits

[@Sipulimies_25]

[@michaelstjohn6086]

very good!

[@PolarPlays_]

Thank you! I’m glad you liked it!

[@vernnax4290]

I haven't played the T-34-85 all that much but it is indeed, one of the best medium tanks in War Thunder. Your Gun is great. Your mobility is also, great. (Except for reverse gear, that's pretty bad) and you actually bonce a good number of rounds even from Tigers and Panthers because of the volumetric properties of the turret and the well known driver's port. You actually survive side-on shots sometimes because your fuel tanks will complete delete the round before it does any damage to you. Great video as always. Hope to see Tortoise soon. It's a really underrated vehicle in WT.

[@PolarPlays_]

Not to mention the add on track armor (traditionally they just used infantry), that takes some of the brunt of impacts from chemical and kinetic rounds. Gun depression isn’t that great, -5° which is typical for Soviet designs, but nonetheless it is a monster when played correctly. Don’t worry I haven’t forgotten about the tortoise. I wanted to get some vehicle variety, not play too many vehicles from one nation just yet. It is coming! Thank you for always supporting me Vernnax, I always look forward to seeing what your thoughts are on the video!

[@mahweezy]

What about the T34-85 Gai in the Chinese tree... it's basically this... but now with extra ✨DSHK✨

[@PolarPlays_]

Oh I’ve been eyeing that thing for a while. I need to research more on the Chinese tree. I’ve just started.

[@RedVRCC]

Rip st-a2 guy, sent yeet-fs at you twice to no effect at all due to glorious stronk stalinium.

[@PolarPlays_]

Glorious stalinium saved us once again. What’s your favorite Soviet vehicle and why?

[@PolarPlays_]

ST-A2 guy tried his best

[@RedVRCC]

@@PolarPlays_ I like modern ones more tbh. My favorite is technically not Soviet so idk if it counts but it's the T-90M that was added a short while ago. It just looks so cool and it's ungodly powerful. I can literally just roll into a town on any city map and brawl with even the highest penning tanks at top tier like the leopard 2a7v. If I had to pick Soviet, I'd say the object 292. It's just such a crazy design, taking a T-80 and bolting a massive 152mm yeet cannon onto it. My favorite from WW2 has to be the IS-2 1944 tho. Hits like a truck and can take even more in return and still keep going. Pretty much carried me all the way thru rank 4.

[@PolarPlays_]

@@RedVRCC I should clarify if I ever say “Soviet” when referring to vehicles in WT I just mean Russian. The object 292 is absolutely insane. I need to play more with it, even though the autoloader is slower than most crewed reloads at that BR, it’s nice to have. Thanks for giving me the idea on a future video o7
