The T-34 Family / War Thunder

The T-34 is a legendary Soviet medium tank… or, rather, a whole family of tanks. They are known for their powerful guns, excellent mobility and, in many cases, decent armour as well. There are fourteen different T-34 variants in War Thunder, from the most conventional of models to experimental vehicles or tanks that only saw limited production. The latest variant could even hold its ground against early MBTs…

[@kevintan3705]

In all seriousness, APCR isn’t even worth using in the current game for the T-34 series. The APCR round is used to go through more armor (obviously), but when you need to go through more armor, you probably aren’t in the right spot when fighting the enemy. This is true especially when considering the T-34-85, where if you are using APCR, and you’re in front of an enemy tank at your BR that needs APCR, you’re definitely in the wrong spot. The APHE rounds are so much more useful and efficient, with the capabilities to one shot virtually any vehicle with ease from the side, and most enemy weak spots from the front (Even cupolas!). TL:DR, APCR bad and almost useless compared to APHE in Russian tanks

[@themaus3847]

Kevin Tan agreed, APHE is the ONLY shell I use. HE isn’t even that important.

Also, T-34-85 APCR, as the 5.7 T-34-85 is one of my top 5 played tanks, is pretty much useless even after it got pen nerfed with ballistics code. There's a whopping five standard and three premium tanks you can use it against that would pen where the APHE wouldn't (Ho-Ri Production, Tiger II H, Tiger II 10.5, T34 and Tortoise as well as the premium Sla. 16, T29 and T30), and even then not only is it not guaranteed to pen, it will do almost nothing due to APCR nerfs from way back when. You're better off shooting cannon barrel and flanking, or just running away and setting up an ambush. Penning a T28, T95, Jagdtiger, Ferdinand (apart from secret spot) frontally is legit impossible, but you still see T-34-85s outperforming most everything they face. Something to be said for skill and knowledge.

[@LoneWolf-kw3ol]

I was a fan of building a tank from parts, but not from the 30+ hour grind wall for a single low tier medium worth $12 by the end of the event, or the fact some of the components were three or four times as expensive as the vehicle itself, which was only worse with the I-180S, they really fucked up the future possibilities of engineer events.

I live in Romania and I went to a park called "Arsenal Park" where as the name says is a lot of arsenal from AAA guns to T34-85 tanks and even a T55.My favourite model is the T34-85 witch my grandpa traind with in the army.It's actualy prety spacious inside compared to the T55 witch you have to squeze in when you fire so the gun wont hit you in your right arm from the recoil.Imside the T34-85 I went to the gunners position, my mum took the loaders position and my dad the drivers spot.We had a lot of fun and I'm very happy that I got the ocasion to be inside my favourite tank.

The legendary T34 is only legendary for the numbers built. When the Germans first encountered it, it was a shock their 37 mm Anti tank gun they called the door knocker didn't do the job. But the Germans had better tactics and communication. Half the Russian tanks built and driven to the front broke down from mechanical problems which was a big concern when the Germans invaded Stalingrad. They where built very quickly and had a very crude finish. On Stalin's order some measures where taken for quality control but once the big German cats came out and the Panzer 3, and IV where upgraded the T34 started to loose its edge and only in mass numbers would it work but with great losses to life and material The latter T34/85 was an improvement but still the German big cats outranged them and had better optics and the T34/85 didn't have a turret bustle so the loader had to walk round with the turret as it rotated. I think the Sherman tank was better when it came to logistics and ease of maintenance and served in every theater of the war even the Russians got them and they loved them for that. Ironically the first Russian tank to enter Berlin wasn't Russian it was a lend lease American Sherman. After the war in the Korean war they meet each other against North Korean and Chinese T34/85 tanks which where on par with the Easy Eight version Sherman though the Shermans optics where better and with a better stabilized gun could fire on the moove and better trained crews. The Israeli Super Sherman's where the ultimate Sherman tanks being modified with better guns like the French high velocity 75mm on the M50 but the 105mm F1 on the M51 defeated Russian built T54/55 and the latest Russian T62 MBT tanks in combat supplied to the Syrians and Egyptians.

[@rn-zu5ld]

You need to take into account that they knew the tank would only be operable for a limited time before it would be destroyed anyways and so they tried to save resources by not including some parts so they can make more tanks. The Soviets also had good generals but Stalins purges meant they died. This meant that leadership was given to inexperienced people.

[@MarekKrassus53]

@@rn-zu5ld The Soviet Union did not have good generals even before the purge. There were only minor exceptions (even in 1941). Let's not forget the influence of Stalin and political commissioners on the army (e.g. Commissioner Vaszugin) The entire Red Army was a very weak army in terms of professionalism. In addition, from 1931 they focused on aggressive tactics. Attack instead of defense. Defense and retreat were not practiced at all. But even in the attack, the Red Army was weak. This showed a series of counterattacks in June 1941. For example the great tank battle at Dubno-Brody.

7:57 the mesh looking things on the T-34 were used to detonate Panzerfausts aka guns used to explode Tanks even as an infantry man and the mesh things on the T-34 would make any explosive round look like a Panzer II shot a King Tiger tank of course it was effective against explosive rounds

"New cannon with a longer fused APHE shell" Too bad your ballistics code completely destroyed the differences between such variables, making two completely different cannons with different shells perform identically. Just sayin.

[@LoneWolf-kw3ol]

Both are fine where they are. 5.7 T-34-85 is one of my top 5 played tanks (I think it's actually my number one), T-44 is one of my favorite trolls. T-44 is a beast. It's cannon is weak at 6.3 for sure, but it can tank a lot of shells if you can angle right or stay at range to be bait and point farm. Using T-34-85 even with an 85% plus uptier rate (33% or more players in game are 6.3-6.7 for uptier in my stats) I average 3 to 5 kills per T-34-85 life, through a match I average like 8 or 9 using other tanks.

[@LoneWolf-kw3ol]

KV-2 has a 42 stock reload, HE underperforms like all hell, APHE top flat pen is a mere 84mm (meaning you can't even pen a Pz. IV H upper plate at point blank reliably), and all the other cons of a KV-2 and it still gets 4.3 to face 76, 17 pdr and french Shermans, Jumbos, Tiger H1 and Church Mk.

The t34 series of tanks is large but the Russian T series of tanks there are like I dunno t-26 t-34 t-43 t-44 t-54 t-62 t-64 t-72 t-80 t-90 and all their varients so we looking at some 30 or so tanks

[@sdfvsdf_1435]

Since Soviets is using T-26 light tank in Japanese war which Japanese soldiers are just using Molotovs and since then some T-26 tanks are like a burning ball so in 1940 Stalin himself decided we need a new tank which the T-34 has made. T-34 has a diesel gas which preventing to fire which can't turn these tanks to a burning fireball. So that's why T-34 is been legendary those years in war. And that's why T-34 is a legendary and powerful tank

[@Kalashnikov413]

Correction: the development of T-34 was started because the lesson they learned about the T-26 and BT tank's performance in the Spanish Civil War, not Soviet-Japanese conflict
