First of all the mod seems awesome.
And now to the tank discussion. Two cheaper and faster tanks can often be better than one big, but clumsy tank, particularly if the big tank is unsupported. My point being that it is hard to say anything about which tank will be the better which out the stats, for all we know the T34 could be the OP one. But Loupblanc, somewhere in one of your text walls you had a good point. Their is little reason not to build a Support Barracks before the Tank Hall. It might require more fuel before the tanks come out, but in the mean time you would have, better infantry, AT guns, motars, AT infantry and sharpshooters, which will help you hold on to your fuel points and when the Tank Hall is build all the Tanks will be available. I think that even if the the T34 is a better tank the IS2 I would still build the Infantry Tent and the Support Barrack first.
I will end this post to congratulat the designers on makeing an awesome mod where I can only find a single flaw, the teching system. And I have faith that you will fix this problem as well.
