In all seriousness, APCR isn’t even worth using in the current game for the T-34 series. The APCR round is used to go through more armor (obviously), but when you need to go through more armor, you probably aren’t in the right spot when fighting the enemy. This is true especially when considering the T-34-85, where if you are using APCR, and you’re in front of an enemy tank at your BR that needs APCR, you’re definitely in the wrong spot. The APHE rounds are so much more useful and efficient, with the capabilities to one shot virtually any vehicle with ease from the side, and most enemy weak spots from the front (Even cupolas!). TL:DR, APCR bad and almost useless compared to APHE in Russian tanks

I started on the American tree... Realized our tanks were garbage. Enjoyed German tree until 3.3... realized German tanks there were garbage. Got my first T34 and realized that I love Russian tanks...
And changed the basics of what can penetrate what, seems like. And changed the BR of certain vehicles to where I see them all the time now at my fav BR, and can't pen them. Nah, I just need to GIT GUD!
lets not forget the fact that a t-34 85 is a higher BR then a Tiger 1, and said T 34 85 will get upteired to fight Jagdtigers. It literally gets a new APCR round that most people dont use.
Also, T-34-85 APCR, as the 5.7 T-34-85 is one of my top 5 played tanks, is pretty much useless even after it got pen nerfed with ballistics code. There's a whopping five standard and three premium tanks you can use it against that would pen where the APHE wouldn't (Ho-Ri Production, Tiger II H, Tiger II 10.5, T34 and Tortoise as well as the premium Sla. 16, T29 and T30), and even then not only is it not guaranteed to pen, it will do almost nothing due to APCR nerfs from way back when. You're better off shooting cannon barrel and flanking, or just running away and setting up an ambush. Penning a T28, T95, Jagdtiger, Ferdinand (apart from secret spot) frontally is legit impossible, but you still see T-34-85s outperforming most everything they face. Something to be said for skill and knowledge.

Firstly, I chose a American's tanks and I unlocked 3rd era, then I thought... It is really hard to destroy German's tanks so i changed nation on German's tanks. I was really happy and almost got a Tiger H1 which was great but during one of rounds, I saw that I can't beat T-34 so I was wondering which nation should I choose? Well, I chose ZSRR's Tanks and I don't reget it! I am so excited to see how other tanks can't beat my T-34 (1941) and T-34 (1940)! This tank spreads fear on the battlefield!!! I don't look at one model of T-34 family but I just know they all are great and have so thick armor! However, if I had to choose, I would choose the T-34 (1941)! Why? Because it has good gun and good armor as You saw on film. I really appreciate your work on this video! It is really helpfull film!
I think it would be cool if there was a T-34-85 that would have the extra 15mm extra frontal armor and the extra 15mm armor for the side of the hull and turrent like the T-34E or the T-34-57 1943 with the extra armor.
that "dangourus in the side placed fueltanks" can eat pretty much everytning. even big shoots in the side with almost no damage for the crew. just a fire, that can put out
7:08”one must die to give another life” If you don’t get what I’m saying,there was another fairly unknown Russian tank meant to replace the T-34,the T-43,it was meant to better deal with Pz. IIIs and IVs and slightly better deal with Panther’s and Tigers,it had the 85mm,though it deals better with older tanks,it was no match for the Tiger’s and Panther’s frontal Armor,so they thought”why not just mount the T-43’s turret on the T-34 Chassis!”and so most T-43s were scraped(leaving their turrets behind)giving way to the T-34:85 Edit:and the same Turret of the T-34/100 was also used on the T-44,it’s replacement
T-34 1940 "Pretty good armor at its rank" Got penetrated IRL by german 20mm due to poor armor quality, because of poor wielding technique. Which was solved on later model, late 1941 and later, because the US told the russians how to wield with the Lend-Lease program
The legendary T34 is only legendary for the numbers built. When the Germans first encountered it, it was a shock their 37 mm Anti tank gun they called the door knocker didn't do the job. But the Germans had better tactics and communication. Half the Russian tanks built and driven to the front broke down from mechanical problems which was a big concern when the Germans invaded Stalingrad. They where built very quickly and had a very crude finish. On Stalin's order some measures where taken for quality control but once the big German cats came out and the Panzer 3, and IV where upgraded the T34 started to loose its edge and only in mass numbers would it work but with great losses to life and material The latter T34/85 was an improvement but still the German big cats outranged them and had better optics and the T34/85 didn't have a turret bustle so the loader had to walk round with the turret as it rotated. I think the Sherman tank was better when it came to logistics and ease of maintenance and served in every theater of the war even the Russians got them and they loved them for that. Ironically the first Russian tank to enter Berlin wasn't Russian it was a lend lease American Sherman. After the war in the Korean war they meet each other against North Korean and Chinese T34/85 tanks which where on par with the Easy Eight version Sherman though the Shermans optics where better and with a better stabilized gun could fire on the moove and better trained crews. The Israeli Super Sherman's where the ultimate Sherman tanks being modified with better guns like the French high velocity 75mm on the M50 but the 105mm F1 on the M51 defeated Russian built T54/55 and the latest Russian T62 MBT tanks in combat supplied to the Syrians and Egyptians.
You need to take into account that they knew the tank would only be operable for a limited time before it would be destroyed anyways and so they tried to save resources by not including some parts so they can make more tanks. The Soviets also had good generals but Stalins purges meant they died. This meant that leadership was given to inexperienced people.
@@rn-zu5ld The Soviet Union did not have good generals even before the purge. There were only minor exceptions (even in 1941). Let's not forget the influence of Stalin and political commissioners on the army (e.g. Commissioner Vaszugin) The entire Red Army was a very weak army in terms of professionalism. In addition, from 1931 they focused on aggressive tactics. Attack instead of defense. Defense and retreat were not practiced at all. But even in the attack, the Red Army was weak. This showed a series of counterattacks in June 1941. For example the great tank battle at Dubno-Brody.

I live in Romania and I went to a park called "Arsenal Park" where as the name says is a lot of arsenal from AAA guns to T34-85 tanks and even a T55.My favourite model is the T34-85 witch my grandpa traind with in the army.It's actualy prety spacious inside compared to the T55 witch you have to squeze in when you fire so the gun wont hit you in your right arm from the recoil.Imside the T34-85 I went to the gunners position, my mum took the loaders position and my dad the drivers spot.We had a lot of fun and I'm very happy that I got the ocasion to be inside my favourite tank.
One of the best tanks in Rapethunders huge frustration generating mechanism. Happy to see you guys still not mess them up like everything else in the game. Leave them in this state!
I’m personally a big fan of the rare operation suffer t34e, I’ve slaved at gulag trying to get this tank and when I did I bounced more shells off my hull than a jumbo Sherman
I was a fan of building a tank from parts, but not from the 30+ hour grind wall for a single low tier medium worth $12 by the end of the event, or the fact some of the components were three or four times as expensive as the vehicle itself, which was only worse with the I-180S, they really fucked up the future possibilities of engineer events.
The main problem of the T-34 was the missing of a radio in each of the tanks at the beginning of WW2. In this case the german army was much more modern as each other countries at this time.
Hey warthunder, i was wondering if you could look into the Japanese purchase of a Panther, thanks alot, also appreciate all you've done for japan in the last few updates

I have up till the T-34E STZ variant. I'm trying to get all of them. It is an excellent tank, well complemented by an excellent game. Well done, Gaijin.
I really enjoy all of the cool prototypes and lesser known armored vehicles in the game and I sincerely hope you add more and more. However I also hope you preserve historical game types where we can play in an environment free from kv-220s and VFW's etc. and feel like we are really in the battle of Kursk or something. So far, despite the exceptional vehicle models, I never feel like I am in a historical battle of any sort. Certainly major strides remain to be made in such areas.
Both are fine where they are. 5.7 T-34-85 is one of my top 5 played tanks (I think it's actually my number one), T-44 is one of my favorite trolls. T-44 is a beast. It's cannon is weak at 6.3 for sure, but it can tank a lot of shells if you can angle right or stay at range to be bait and point farm. Using T-34-85 even with an 85% plus uptier rate (33% or more players in game are 6.3-6.7 for uptier in my stats) I average 3 to 5 kills per T-34-85 life, through a match I average like 8 or 9 using other tanks.
KV-2 has a 42 stock reload, HE underperforms like all hell, APHE top flat pen is a mere 84mm (meaning you can't even pen a Pz. IV H upper plate at point blank reliably), and all the other cons of a KV-2 and it still gets 4.3 to face 76, 17 pdr and french Shermans, Jumbos, Tiger H1 and Church Mk. VII That's what I'm pushing fof
"New cannon with a longer fused APHE shell" Too bad your ballistics code completely destroyed the differences between such variables, making two completely different cannons with different shells perform identically. Just sayin.
The t34 series of tanks is large but the Russian T series of tanks there are like I dunno t-26 t-34 t-43 t-44 t-54 t-62 t-64 t-72 t-80 t-90 and all their varients so we looking at some 30 or so tanks
I've always had very good luck with the T-34-57. The cannon's APHE'll go through anything it's likely to meet, and has enough explosive to either kill or badly cripple the enemy in one shot
Narrator: Says that the earliest T-34 can bounce lots of shells easily Me, after getting killed by a StuG III A: Are you sure about that? Also, the first T-34 seems a little bit underpowered than other tanks in its BR.
Since Soviets is using T-26 light tank in Japanese war which Japanese soldiers are just using Molotovs and since then some T-26 tanks are like a burning ball so in 1940 Stalin himself decided we need a new tank which the T-34 has made. T-34 has a diesel gas which preventing to fire which can't turn these tanks to a burning fireball. So that's why T-34 is been legendary those years in war. And that's why T-34 is a legendary and powerful tank
Correction: the development of T-34 was started because the lesson they learned about the T-26 and BT tank's performance in the Spanish Civil War, not Soviet-Japanese conflict
Russian tanks are happy tanks, they have no depression
Well the KV-2 cures its depression with its derp gun

@QuaintAlex126 you got me there
lets not forget the fact that a t-34 85 is a higher BR then a Tiger 1, and said T 34 85 will get upteired to fight Jagdtigers. It literally gets a new APCR round that most people dont use.
There are still wheraboos complaining about 'muh tigers' getting destroyed by t34s a couple of comments up the list tho.
T-34/85 is much better than Tiger and deserves to be at BR 10.0

Also, T-34-85 APCR, as the 5.7 T-34-85 is one of my top 5 played tanks, is pretty much useless even after it got pen nerfed with ballistics code. There's a whopping five standard and three premium tanks you can use it against that would pen where the APHE wouldn't (Ho-Ri Production, Tiger II H, Tiger II 10.5, T34 and Tortoise as well as the premium Sla. 16, T29 and T30), and even then not only is it not guaranteed to pen, it will do almost nothing due to APCR nerfs from way back when. You're better off shooting cannon barrel and flanking, or just running away and setting up an ambush.
Penning a T28, T95, Jagdtiger, Ferdinand (apart from secret spot) frontally is legit impossible, but you still see T-34-85s outperforming most everything they face.
Something to be said for skill and knowledge.

Stalin: So you know that thing that holds up a mattress, right?
Firstly, I chose a American's tanks and I unlocked 3rd era, then I thought... It is really hard to destroy German's tanks so i changed nation on German's tanks. I was really happy and almost got a Tiger H1 which was great but during one of rounds, I saw that I can't beat T-34 so I was wondering which nation should I choose? Well, I chose ZSRR's Tanks and I don't reget it! I am so excited to see how other tanks can't beat my T-34 (1941) and T-34 (1940)! This tank spreads fear on the battlefield!!! I don't look at one model of T-34 family but I just know they all are great and have so thick armor! However, if I had to choose, I would choose the T-34 (1941)! Why? Because it has good gun and good armor as You saw on film. I really appreciate your work on this video! It is really helpfull film!
I think it would be cool if there was a T-34-85 that would have the extra 15mm extra frontal armor and the extra 15mm armor for the side of the hull and turrent like the T-34E
or the T-34-57 1943 with the extra armor.

7:08”one must die to give another life”
If you don’t get what I’m saying,there was another fairly unknown Russian tank meant to replace the T-34,the T-43,it was meant to better deal with Pz. IIIs and IVs and slightly better deal with Panther’s and Tigers,it had the 85mm,though it deals better with older tanks,it was no match for the Tiger’s and Panther’s frontal Armor,so they thought”why not just mount the T-43’s turret on the T-34 Chassis!”and so most T-43s were scraped(leaving their turrets behind)giving way to the T-34:85
Edit:and the same Turret of the T-34/100 was also used on the T-44,it’s replacement
The t34-57 is the bane of my existence while using a Sherman
T-34s blessed with Staliniom
Love the 100mm T-34
T-34 1940 "Pretty good armor at its rank"
Got penetrated IRL by german 20mm due to poor armor quality, because of poor wielding technique.
Which was solved on later model, late 1941 and later, because the US told the russians how to wield with the Lend-Lease program
Nice piece of information my dude
Do a documentary on Panzer 4, since it saw service from World War to the Six Day War..
The legendary T34 is only legendary for the numbers built. When the Germans first encountered it, it was a shock their 37 mm Anti tank gun they called the door knocker didn't do the job. But the Germans had better tactics and communication. Half the Russian tanks built and driven to the front broke down from mechanical problems which was a big concern when the Germans invaded Stalingrad. They where built very quickly and had a very crude finish. On Stalin's order some measures where taken for quality control but once the big German cats came out and the Panzer 3, and IV where upgraded the T34 started to loose its edge and only in mass numbers would it work but with great losses to life and material The latter T34/85 was an improvement but still the German big cats outranged them and had better optics and the T34/85 didn't have a turret bustle so the loader had to walk round with the turret as it rotated.
I think the Sherman tank was better when it came to logistics and ease of maintenance and served in every theater of the war even the Russians got them and they loved them for that. Ironically the first Russian tank to enter Berlin wasn't Russian it was a lend lease American Sherman. After the war in the Korean war they meet each other against North Korean and Chinese T34/85 tanks which where on par with the Easy Eight version Sherman though the Shermans optics where better and with a better stabilized gun could fire on the moove and better trained crews. The Israeli Super Sherman's where the ultimate Sherman tanks being modified with better guns like the French high velocity 75mm on the M50 but the 105mm F1 on the M51 defeated Russian built T54/55 and the latest Russian T62 MBT tanks in combat supplied to the Syrians and Egyptians.
You need to take into account that they knew the tank would only be operable for a limited time before it would be destroyed anyways and so they tried to save resources by not including some parts so they can make more tanks.
The Soviets also had good generals but Stalins purges meant they died. This meant that leadership was given to inexperienced people.
@@rn-zu5ld The Soviet Union did not have good generals even before the purge. There were only minor exceptions (even in 1941). Let's not forget the influence of Stalin and political commissioners on the army (e.g. Commissioner Vaszugin)
The entire Red Army was a very weak army in terms of professionalism. In addition, from 1931 they focused on aggressive tactics. Attack instead of defense. Defense and retreat were not practiced at all.
But even in the attack, the Red Army was weak. This showed a series of counterattacks in June 1941. For example the great tank battle at Dubno-Brody.
T-34 E STZ is the tank where I'd done more miracles in battle, maybe for their great armor slope...
Quick tip: an 85 can penetrate the upper front plate of a Tiger 1 at the right angle, so don't be too afraid of them

I live in Romania and I went to a park called "Arsenal Park" where as the name says is a lot of arsenal from AAA guns to T34-85 tanks and even a T55.My favourite model is the T34-85 witch my grandpa traind with in the army.It's actualy prety spacious inside compared to the T55 witch you have to squeze in when you fire so the gun wont hit you in your right arm from the recoil.Imside the T34-85 I went to the gunners position, my mum took the loaders position and my dad the drivers spot.We had a lot of fun and I'm very happy that I got the ocasion to be inside my favourite tank.

I’m personally a big fan of the rare operation suffer t34e, I’ve slaved at gulag trying to get this tank and when I did I bounced more shells off my hull than a jumbo Sherman
I was a fan of building a tank from parts, but not from the 30+ hour grind wall for a single low tier medium worth $12 by the end of the event, or the fact some of the components were three or four times as expensive as the vehicle itself, which was only worse with the I-180S, they really fucked up the future possibilities of engineer events.
My pz. F2 were free food for these beasts, but now these kittens are free food for my tiger.
Tiger H1 is trash in WT.
Пролетар No it’s just too good when you use Tiger H1 for sniping.
Every long German gun could easily destroy T-34.
The main problem of the T-34 was the missing of a radio in each of the tanks at the beginning of WW2. In this case the german army was much more modern as each other countries at this time.
Hey warthunder, i was wondering if you could look into the Japanese purchase of a Panther, thanks alot, also appreciate all you've done for japan in the last few updates

Very nice Comrades!
I really enjoy all of the cool prototypes and lesser known armored vehicles in the game and I sincerely hope you add more and more. However I also hope you preserve historical game types where we can play in an environment free from kv-220s and VFW's etc. and feel like we are really in the battle of Kursk or something. So far, despite the exceptional vehicle models, I never feel like I am in a historical battle of any sort. Certainly major strides remain to be made in such areas.
tiger h1 geting 5.3 people are verry happy to not fight on t29 and 6.7 match.......
t34 85 5.7 t44 6.3 i am joke to you
Both are fine where they are. 5.7 T-34-85 is one of my top 5 played tanks (I think it's actually my number one), T-44 is one of my favorite trolls. T-44 is a beast. It's cannon is weak at 6.3 for sure, but it can tank a lot of shells if you can angle right or stay at range to be bait and point farm. Using T-34-85 even with an 85% plus uptier rate (33% or more players in game are 6.3-6.7 for uptier in my stats) I average 3 to 5 kills per T-34-85 life, through a match I average like 8 or 9 using other tanks.
KV-2 has a 42 stock reload, HE underperforms like all hell, APHE top flat pen is a mere 84mm (meaning you can't even pen a Pz. IV H upper plate at point blank reliably), and all the other cons of a KV-2 and it still gets 4.3 to face 76, 17 pdr and french Shermans, Jumbos, Tiger H1 and Church Mk. VII
That's what I'm pushing fof
alex bravo yes you are
When your German 88 can’t pen from point blank range but somehow they can pen you from 3000 with angling 🙃
gajin ADD THE T43 its almost the same as the t34 but better and cooler! like if agree
i didnt even know the t34 1940 had a prototype, so now i know more thanks to this video :)
"New cannon with a longer fused APHE shell"
Too bad your ballistics code completely destroyed the differences between such variables, making two completely different cannons with different shells perform identically.

Russian bias
The first t-34 front sloped armour can be penetrated and mostly one shot by the German Panzer F2
Russian bias anyone
I've always had very good luck with the T-34-57. The cannon's APHE'll go through anything it's likely to meet, and has enough explosive to either kill or badly cripple the enemy in one shot
In conclusion, playing the Russian Tanks is a proud but embarrass choice.
Narrator: Says that the earliest T-34 can bounce lots of shells easily
Me, after getting killed by a StuG III A: Are you sure about that?
Also, the first T-34 seems a little bit underpowered than other tanks in its BR.
Since Soviets is using T-26 light tank in Japanese war which Japanese soldiers are just using Molotovs and since then some T-26 tanks are like a burning ball so in 1940 Stalin himself decided we need a new tank which the T-34 has made. T-34 has a diesel gas which preventing to fire which can't turn these tanks to a burning fireball. So that's why T-34 is been legendary those years in war. And that's why T-34 is a legendary and powerful tank
Correction: the development of T-34 was started because the lesson they learned about the T-26 and BT tank's performance in the Spanish Civil War, not Soviet-Japanese conflict
me when I see a Panzer with a t-34 comrade:
*Prepare for trouble!*
*AND MAKE IT DOUBLE!*
