I don't think the T-34/85 was introduced until '44, which would make it a Late War tank.

And what the heck are Wirbel & Ostwind doing in MW then? ;)

As a certified t34 nut (almost my only gv ride for 2 years now) I am really looking forward to the 85.  A big <<S>> to Waffle and those responsible for its design and development in our game. 
I am really looking forward to using the sloping armor to its best advantage against the tiger and sherman in head on long range duels that I can't hope to engage in with our current model.
Still there will always be a soft spot for the t34/75 with me, it may be the ugly ducking of the GV hanger, but nothing feels quite as good as snuffing a tiger in one.

I'm going to get Opposum to post that film he has, he was in a Tiger and he messed with a guy in a T34/75 for about 10 or 15 min's. riding around and around this guy, all the time that guy was shooting his Tiger and he took no damage in his tiger. I kind of lost interest and respect for the T34 after that!

I don't think they should be.  Said as much the last time I was in there.  If I had any friends, you could ask them.

I will admit to being a bit fuzzy with the exact (if you could call them that) cut-offs that HiTech is using.

Yeah no doubt, I'd have lost respect for that T34 too.  The T34 could run circles around the Tiger, traverse his turret faster than the Tiger, and with a nice HVAP to the side or rear of the turret, should have popped it, not to mention a round to the engine to kill it, and a round into the side armor to kill it.  Tigers aren't that hard to kill in a T34 when you're only 50 feet away and not facing the front armor.  Don't see how he couldn't pull it off.  Even if all he had were HE rounds, in 15 minutes he shoulda been able to at least track the thing.  ROFL.

The problem is where as the m4 introduced is a mid-war variant not represenitive of the most produced version, the t34 is an early war variant with a gun useless for anything other than killing troops in this game.
They are fixing an oversight...and its about bloody time...

Shermans where decidedly junk in ww2, where as the t34 was a scary machine for the germans to cross, I figure your about to see a very popular tank introduced into the game, be happy. :rock

Ah.. I'm sure most people know this already, but the current T34/76 can kill Panzers at almost any range* (hit the turret), can one shot kill M4s at short range (with HVAP hit the sides or rears of the hull or turret, not the tracks, at ~90deg or hit the center of the rounded area below the glacis when head on), and can even one shot kill Tigers at ranges below 500 (with HVAP hit the side of the turret or side of the hull at 90 deg, it has to be a near 90 deg shot).

That being said, I am sure looking forward to the new T34/85: better gun, faster loading, same good speed, same good hull armor.

*as a reminder, don't use HVAP at ranges beyond about 1200.  It isn't as good at long range as normal AP.

T34 was at a leathality disatvantage since the first day it was introduced, update is in time to save it from "hanger queen" status.

Again.. have you ever played this game?

T34 is as far from hangar queen as you can come. They are all over the place and in many respects its the best tank we have here. Fast, good armor and a gun that can kill all the other tanks at a reasonable range. Its the only tank with perhaps the exeption of the tiger that you can roll onto an enemy base with that has all ack up and seldom suffer any damage from the ack. The M4 and Panzer loses the turret rather quickly.

I don't recall ever seeing a source that says the T-34/85 was put into production before February 1944.  I also have never heard of a 100mm version, let alone one that served in combat.  Is it possible you are getting confused with the IS-2 and/or the SU-85 and SU-100s, which were based on T-34 chassis?

The T-34/76 1943 model was the stop gap, no t34/85's saw service till 44 in operational numbers....

Yea, the T-34 routinely scores between 1 and 3% of all GV kills.  Just about like cockroaches... everywhere! 

Oh wait..
