Looks like GTA V was first with “Rudy” (readhead) in game ;)

Dog paw is between “u” and “d” letters.
And we can argue about rest of the points as they got brand new T-34/85 after getting T-34/76 burned down in 15th episode.
But yea, as TV series used T-34/85 in every episode I would like to see it with everything mentioned. Otherwise it’s not Rudy, it’s bad moneygrab .

And get rid of that red bullshit on hull and turret.

You either make a Rudy or a another russian tank – make up your ming WG. How putting loads of stars on it is supposed to make me buy it? Moreover, historical or not, common sense suggests that you dont put national markings on top of tactical symbols.

Eagles painted on Polish vechicles at that time on eastern front are mentioned here “Piast Eagles”, known also as “kuritsa” (Russian: chicken). They should look like this one:

No crown, head looks right.

Some others little bugs on the model above:
- missing dog’s leg print on the side of armor,
- in the book (not TV series) is a part which says: “eagle on the left side of turret had blurred one wing due inaccurate paintig of it”
- radio antenna should be replaced by pine branch with wire wraped around it (in one episode crew misses original antenna while they driving across forrest)
- big metal, welded plate should be in the front of the hull – it covers hole after hit received by tank in Warsaw,
- barrel should be shortened (field repair after hit taken in that barrel during fight against German paratroopers in “Hermenegilda” operation.

After fix of above things we can say “it’s historical” ;-)

This is a huge “F*** You” to the Polish community. Forget the eagle, forget the damn stars, the mere fact that they made it a Ruskie tank not an EU/Polish tank is an insult and is meant as an insult. They can’t be so tone deaf to believe it is anything else. A tank from a Polish series, that was crewed by three Poles and a Georgian driver, that in the story served with a Polish unit is made Ruskie. It may not feel like a huge insult if you are not Polish or Russian but it will be received as a premeditated insult by many Poles.

No, Rudy had the eagle without the crown as part of Polish forces in the East. They were using eagle without crown as the emblem.
The eagle emblem on the tank is current era eagle WITH the crown.

For Polish people it is like… England football team given by mistake British flag. Or Germans presented today with Imperial/early-Nazi era flag (black-white-red) instead of current flag (black-red-gold).
So considering how far WG went to make Rudy and count on Polish people to buy it this is silly yet significant mistake.

Fun fact – the model in this gallery is made true to the series – with a chunk of barrel sawn off. By the way the scale is 1/72.

Which eagle is wrong? They are both facing the front. That’s a simple mirror problem. I would get it, and just replace the red stars with some other emblem (Polish flag?)…problem solved, right?

Is it just me or is this one of the best looking HD tanks so far? It looks fantastic, on these images at least.

The eagle is NOT supposed to have that crown. The series is a commie production from commie times, remember? They removed the crowns from the eagles.

This should be the best way to decide, really – since looking at the actual pictures from the show you can see the eagle as kinda blotchy at the top of the head. No obvious crown though.
