Ohh this will be great. Tiger whiners thought the firefly was bad, this thing going to bring whine to a whole new lvl.

 :D

It will be quite a sight to see with it having an 85mm gun.

The firefly is already perked, this one will be, by the looks of it.

Too bad we don't get different GV types.  Mobile artillery, larger supply vehicles, etc..

I wonder if the new T-34 will be perked. Cause if it isnt, or even if it is like the Brit firefly, I'll probably never take out another tank.

The T34/85 was the best tank of the war in my opinion. And even better, for game purposes, its fast. Very fast!

Im not a tanker but Im still really looking foward to useing this as a raid tank.

Instead of waiting you could just look it up yourself. There's a plethora of armor websites out there. Start with google or wikipedia...

T-34/85 did not have upgraded armor to the T-34/76. It carried a new turret, and one of two varieties of 85mm gun. The 85mm was comparable to the 88mm in most ways, able to kill Tigers (including King Tigers) and Panthers with relative impunity.

The drawback was the lack of armor, which it tried to make up for with speed and superior maneuverability, as compared to the Tiger I or King Tiger. It was comparable to the Panther Ausf A and D.

Waffle...it looks great so far, but you gotta lose the muzzle flare at the end, and the fuel tanks on the T-34/85 were cylindrical barrels located on the sides of the rear hull. The boxes on the back of the T-34/76 are only relevant to the T-34/76 Mod 1940.



The smaller cylindrical objects you'll see on T-34/85 are tanks for laying smoke screens. The contents were dumped onto the exhaust.

Here's a model I did of a T-34/85:





Otherwise, it looks great and I'm happy to see it in the game, thanks for you work!

Dude, then you rock!

If you ever need anything in the way of photos, references, data, etc., just drop me a line.

At last count, there's something like 3000 books on aircraft, armor, and ships sitting in my basement.

Perhaps we should talk about some joint projects. Are you using 3DFS (which is what I have)?
