Remember the T34/76 turret has slope to it.  The T34/85 turret side is nearly vertical.

However, I don't know if the angle difference is enough to make up for the difference in turret armor side thickness (52mm 76, 75mm 85).

The angling on a T34/76 turret is negligible in difference to the T34/85.  So if those armor thickness numbers are accurate between the two, I would expect that the T34/85 would not be so easy to turret, definitely not easier than the T34/76.  This thing seems like a flak...

with the perks, there's really no reason to take a T34-85 out over an M4

I like the T-34/85 now. I've been doing good in it. So far, only a Sherman, and a Tiger have killed me.

Sure there is.  The T-34/85 is faster.

The T34/85mm has a turret made of vodka bottles just like the T34/76mm.  One hit and *poof* there goes the main gun.

Yes, it is fast @ 35mph. Yes, it has a gun that can compete directly with the Pzr IV and Firefly.  However, until the T34/85mm gets a more correct dmg model for the turret (ditto for the T34/76mm), it is barely worth more than the T34/76mm.

The T34 doesnt live up to its legend as a damage sponge.

I would very much like to see an unperked tank besides the Panzer IV H though.  The T-34/76 does not count as it is practically never seen.

+1

T-34/76    never seen
Panzer IV  is free
T-34/85    3 perks
M-4         6 perks
Tiger I      34 perks ?! :huh  With only a 1.2 k/d ratio against the M4. :huh

I don't think it was so much a damage sponge as a damage deflector.

That's the problem with legends.  They are often exaggerations of the truth.

With the ease the T34/85 loses it's turret there is no way it should be perked.

Resupply one factory and you get four T34 perkies for your trouble. I think it should be even more expensive!
