@@Thiccron for real. I took like a 2 month break after 8.7 britian grind broke my brain. Came back and played some 4.0ish russia with the 4.0 (i think) T-34 and went 12-0 first game. And my average K/D is almost exactly 1.0 so I'm average. Thing is amusingly busted.
@@connivingkhajiit Honestly, 4.0 is where it's at. Even playing US, if you're a decent player you can do really well with the short barreled Shermans. Plus no risk of seeing a Tiger.
@@connivingkhajiit I'm just saying it's a fun tier to fight at, because if I bump to 4.3 then I have to deal with tigers in uptiers when American guns are mostly shit at that point. Sure, tigers are easy when you're actually at that BR range, but are a massive pain in the ass with the short 75mm. Britain doesn't have the same problem with pen at that tier.
Choose one: A) It is hard to get top tier tanks so you feel like there's some sort of filter in place for player quality at top tier B) Everyone has a full lineup of viable top tier vehicles in every top tier match Can't have both.

The intro clip is perfectly representative of my experiences with US mains anywhere above 5.3 BR. Get twice the kills of the rest of the team combined, still lose because all my US mains left after rushing in their Hellcats or M22s which they brought up to 9.0
“Slow turret traverse.” I do find the T-34s to have great gun handling at its BR, probably second to the Shermans. 23 degrees/sec is faster than some early MBTs.
Fun fact; try to get the same stats with other nations at this br. Well, you cannot. T34 seems to also have a stabilizer without having it written. You can just drive and keep shooting. + it's projectile does not drop much.
I'd be so embarrassed playing a T-34... Light tank mobility Heavy tank armour Tank destroyer gun Non stabilized gun that clearly acts like it's stabilized Apparently fair and balanced, no Russian bias here no sir.
They need to add the KV-8 at BR 3.3 aswell. It uses 45mm from BT-7 and co-axil flamethrower. (Which will be useful because of all the opened topped vehicles at this battle rating.
I'm pretty sure this tank is why I quit trying to move up the tank tree and shortly thereafter quit the game entirely many years ago. It bounces so much and pens every tank it sees at almost any angle for a one shot.
This gun is why the BT-7A (F-32) is so good even into the mid-range BRs. Until you get the BMP it’s a fantastic scout and one shots everything from the flanks.
ahh finally u covered this absolute beast of a tank , ive been hoping rof tthat sicne u uploaded the one with the t 34 85 nuke shell. ive used this 1940 so much and loved it a lot

Watched this yesterday, played the tank for the 1st time last night. 9 kills with base vehicle. :)
In a downtier, it is a heavy tank that drives fast, with the gun of a tank destroyer. Crazy tank.
You should try out the Strv m/42 EH. That thing is a real beast!
Happy birthday Bawz.
This thing is catastrophic. When I play this I can do 8-12 kill games, back to back, to back.

Hey Odd could you make a ground vehicle tier list or one with the vehicles you most like/recommend?
i can only aspire to be as good as this guy, new to the channel here
This thing lined up with the T-34 Prototype makes an extremely strong lineup.
The 3.7 lineup used to be god tier with the T-34 1941 and 1942, KV-1 and this one as a backup.

17 kills and a LOSS just explains perfectly how the teams are in this game lmao.
Damn, you make a good case for seal clubbing XD
How is >20 Degrees of turretrotation bad? It's amazing at this BR
I use the T34/747. Using the gun is a chore, making sure you can lay on target. T34 is an awesome tank to play. Sherman still my fav
I have had a 30 kill (no death) game in my T34 Prototype. It feels dirty playing it in a full downtier. Even in a full uptier it is a very capable flanker.
When youtube suggested me this it was 26 seconds old (newest video i have seen)
Could you consider playing the Ikv 91-105?
happy early birthday oddbawz
Day one of asking oddbawz to play the t-55am-1

You should play the obj 268
The shell in question has a square-ish shape that allows it to "bite" into the armor instead of bouncing
In a downtier, a “game” is not a game in this tank, it’s a slaughterhouse.
