T-34/76 and its attributes

[irik]

What are the T-34/76 veterancy benefits? And what are its damage, speed, and armor in comparison to: Panzer IV, Panther, Tiger, and King Tiger? And any other information worth noting? And another thing, is the Lanchester's square law really applicable to tanks? i doubt it

some attribute of the t34

+ has better armor (harder to penetrate)
+ has better acceleration and higher top speed
+has slightly better penetration than a sherman

+- does slightly more splash damage, but the splash damage is not as good as a sherman

-has slightly less health than a sherman or PIV
-extremely poor accuracy
-no upgrades or abilities except for the 85mm upgrade

Is the T-34 less efective than infantry

[Killar]

No and yes

[Tankbuster]

Whuh

Is the T-34 less efective than infantry

Most likely depends on what you are facing and to which infantry you are comparing it.

[Pac-Fish]

Lets say there is a Gren squad with a shreck. Then what? Can the T-34 just kite it or something?

[Walentin 'Walki' L.]

No and yes

Classic answer of a balancer .


I think the t34 was supposed to be a all arounder like the sherman? Correct me if I'm wrong.

[Jeff 'Robotnik' W.]

^ that it is.

when it comes to its effectiveness against infantry, its effective, when it hits them that is. and when it comes to kiting infantry, you kinda have to use it like you would a cromwell, move, then stop to shoot, since moving while firing will make the t34's already bad accuracy even worse

[irik]

let's get back on topic. what are the statistical comparisons of the tiger and t-34?

[Killar]

What do you mean? There are too many differences. Better you use corsix

[irik]

comparing isn't the right word. how good is a tiger's speed when contrasted to soviet tanks? i managed to kill a tiger with 20 t-34s, although 3 of them died

[Tankbuster]

Compstomp much?

[Pac-Fish]

The fact 3 of them died surprisses me . 20 T-34s should've killed that Tiger in th first salvo . Especially if they had 85mm upgrade.

I would say it takes 3 T-34''s to kill a Tiger, given they're tring to circle strafe and stuff. 2 is okay but once you lose 1, it becomes much harder.
