Keep firing those AP rounds at lightly armored vehicles.  I love the way they pass right through without killing anything.




















It's the wrong ammo for the job.

Well the thing is the T34 has no pintle gun, or any other anti-air defense.  It's 75mm gun only makes it equal to the Panzer 4 but no better as a Tiger killer.  It has only two advantages; it's slightly faster and carries more rounds, but no smoke.

Without the need to unbutton for anti-air, the commander should be immune to death or wounds as outlined here.

It was really addressing the binoculars idea........... commander would have to open the hatch to use them..........
