Armor - the placement of armor was very good - the high angles had given very good defence against enemy canon rounds.
Small Turret - reduced chances to kill it.
The russion armor was better then german one - the russian armor of same size was stronger then same of germans. Germans had no good armor technologies as russian had. That was very important factor - one of the reasons germans had lost lots of Tigers at Kursk.
Speed - very important factor.
It has a much less effective HE shell. About 60%.
The T34 has 70mm of equivilent frontal hull armour. Not even including the superior quality of the german steel.
The Panzer IV has 90 mm equivelent.
The T34 penetrates 71mm at 500 meters
The Panzer IV penetrates 114 at 500 meters. 85mm at 1000 meters.64mm at 2000m....
if they model them correctly it will not be fun to fight Panzer IVHs in T34-76s.
No AAMG
Not to mention. Way slower rate of fire because it has a 2 man turrent crew. The comander is the loader. The only reasonable way to model that would be to limit the rate of fire to 1 per minute if the comanders position is used. T34-76s where fought buttoned up.
The T34-85 is equivilent to the late model Panzer IV.
Sure the 76 model and the Panzer IV can kill each other. But the advantage is much to the favour of the Panzer.
BUT, it's all just about useless if the GV's arn't modeled and damage modeled correctly
