I really like the T-34. When I have more money, I’ll buy it back. Once you figure out that it’s basically an autoloader, it’s hugely powerful. Wait until someone fires, unload while they reload, drop back. Suddenly, 300 damage.

the M4 did need a nerf though. Especially with the HEAT derp, it’s ridiculously OP at tier 5. Not quite KV1S, but still, the speed, the alpha damage, even the ROF. supposing consistent pen and average rolls, you’re talking 2300 DPM at tier 5, with 101mm of pen. And that’s AFTER the nerf. 2600+ pre-nerf.

And the fact that its frontal armor is sloped, which gave tier 3s and 4s all kinds of headaches.

And it HAD to be: the KV-1 and KV-2 were just the KV at tier 5, so you had tier 5 tanks with 152 mm howitzers or 107 mm guns, and the KV-3 was tier 6. The Panzer IV with the L/70 was a hard counter to the old KV.

I fear the T-34 with a 57 mm gun more than I fear an M4 or Panzer IV with the 105 mm howitzer whenever I’m top tier in a tier 7 tank. In the hands of a competent player, a T-34 can be the most dangerous tier 5 medium in the game, but it has a steep learning curve if you want to get REALLY good with it.

Lol now that was OP. I used to snipe KV1`s at 500m easily and they couldnt even hit me.

150 Pen at T5 with normal ammo :) Also had 2k DPM and 8 degrees depression lol
