I didnt know that the lump at the end of the 76mm gun when there is no muzzle break is a temporary cover over the threading for the muzzle break because they were back ordered.

I am deliberately bumping this topic for a cool diagram I found that looks like it came from a soviet book or something.

Neat look at how the loader must do his job

I had a go in the 76 over the past couple days, it's great fun! I would like to see a few more tanks in AH2.

Hey, at least they finally put in the HVAP rounds for the T-34-76... I squeaked and moaned for literally years about that. 

Wasn't successful with my argument that the ready rounds should increase the rate of fire for the first 4 shots either :)

One of these days I'm going to come back and just enjoy myself... I find myself trolling the forums more and more lately.

i dont even remember the time that the 34/76 didnt have HVAP... it was so long ago. i do remember the untweaked T34/76 of days of old which was the best tank to use. i used to be able to up a 34 and run streaks of 5-10 easily because of the armor and gun being to powerful in the version it first came out. :lol

I alwasys used the 76 before the M4A3's came out. Then the M4(76) brought a tank with T-34 armor and a panzer's gun.

M4, a personal fave.  Hard to see in the greenery and great gunnery platform. Now if y'all could put the M1A1 powerplant in them and get the speed of an M8, that would be great !  :old:
