However this actually equates to just farming lower tiered and armoured tanks with the T-44 with it’s OP gunhandling. The T-34-2 is a one trick hull-down pony with terrible gun handling.

Still, The T-44 is a joke when not using premium on tier 10 more so than any other medium in the game. It literally cannot penetrate a lot of vehicles without shooting premium and a lot of the time it will bounce of the sides of vehicles that it can penetrate. It’s DPM is the same mediocre like the DPM most tier 8 mediums are stuck with, which means it actually doesn’t get rewarded for finally flanking another tank unless it’s completely alone because putting in 2 shots in the side of another tank is only 500dmg…. ( which is all it will do if your team is competent because it’s dpm is so laughable )
