T-34 usage (or Lack Thereof)
« on: August 29, 2006, 10:43:30 PM »
Why did HTC model the T34 if the reload times built into the cannon are so poor that no one hardly uses it?

Why would the reload times be so different between the T34 76mm and the PNZR 75mm?  

Is there some sort of historical data on the reload time of the T34 76mm being so poor that HTC would actually pork the gameplay usage of the T34 to accomodate the historical data?

WTF is going on here?

IIRC
It is because of the cramped turret in the T-34.

Ok, I have my answer.  Thanks

Now for the whine....why did Pyro decide to give us the one balled version of this great tank.  Its almost useless against the PNZR and tiger......

The T-34 is pretty worthless the way it is modelled now.  

Pull up some of my old posts on it, I've been *****ing about it for years.

A lightly perked T-34/85 would be a welcome addition.

So would just about any other new vehicle.

But don't sell the current T-34 too short.  It takes a hit slightly better than the panzer due to the propensity for shots to glance off, the turret traverses faster, and it drives faster than any of the other tanks.

I will take a T-34 to an enemy field just to pork it. It runs about 35mph and has pretty nice armor (until you die that is)

I like taking M-8s up against Panzers. 1 shot to disable it if you know where to hit. Takes about 5 to 6 shots directly to the rear to kill it though.
M-8 can't hurt a T-34 though.

T34 needs to be refitted with the 85mm cannon and increased armour.
That would make more sense to me. Right now it just makes a nice target.

I really like the T-34. Its gun can kill a panzer pretty easily with a good hit, you just have to hit it with the first shot because the reload time is so long. And most of the time, a hit to the front from a panzer doesn't even hurt it. A Tiger is a different matter altogether, you get hit by that and you're dead, it doesn't matter much what you're in. Unfortunatly, the gun on the T-34 can't kill a Tiger, trust me, I've tried doing it offline and it doesn't work. You're better off just running away when you see a Tiger.

Also, the T-34 is a good bit faster than the panzer, and you get 50% more perks for taking a tank out. And they get less for killing you. The lack of a pintle machine gun doesn't make much difference, it isn't much good for killing planes anyway, all it's good for is to make you feel like you're a little more dangerous than just a target down below.

I think you're wrong. On the left there was TC/gunner, on the right loader.

I exaclty predicted what would happen with the T34 76, either they model its constraints inaccuratly or it would not be used.
Imagine if they really modled how vulnerable it is with the drivers hatch open!
The whole front upper hull is pretty much comprimised. And last time I played it was way to heavily armoured.
I have no idea why they did the 76.  85 would have fit the game so much better with the same amount of work.
