Which T-34/85 doc is the best and why?
What does it matter..
I think this tank is clearly the most effective going around, by a large margin. I have played several games where i have been unable to kill this tank, not without sacrificing my armour. As long as soviet player does not overextend rediculously and has a zis gun close by then T-34/85 can take on 2 p4 and still get out alive. May just be RNG, but i find killing these tanks imppossible a lot off the time. Especially on Langres.
Once the soviet player has 2 - 3, plus a couple of at guns then it becomes a war of attrition that ost will not win. Even if you can keep tanks alive T-34/85 simply destroy grens..
Tiger is too slow, p4 cannot finish the job, panther does well some times but is not cost efficient and misses bit too much to be reliable, which basically leaves elephant which i have not tried..
Guards Motor is easily the best because 2 guards squads can negate any ost armour push almost instantly, then T-34/85 and zis can just finish the job..

Its pretty much the best since.. forever, even when 34/85s sucked.
Advanced warfare is also solid and allows T4 play.

But what Dasheepeh stated concerning armored assault is very interesting!
Armored Assault is nigh useless in its current state, due to the 85 call in being a double one.
Armored Assault is a very late game doctrine, it's nigh impossible to field both the pair of T-34/85s and an IS-2 in 1v1, it becomes easier in team games. That being if you have good unit preservation and the game drags on, it's possible to field the pair of T-34/85s and an IS-2 at the expense of infantry due to the popcap.
I always felt the point of the Armored Assault Commander was to get both the IS-2 and T-34/85 and not have to choose one or the other. Changing the double T-34/85s calling by a single T-34/85 call-in would solve this issue and make the doctrine more appealing. It would be feasible to field a single T-34/85 and a single IS-2 giving more flexible tank tactics.

And regardless.. there are not many situations that two 85s and an IS2 is going to be better than four 85s and mark target.
Simple as that.

Its difficult to field two 85s and an IS2.. and even getting there is harder because the doc does not help you much early game.

Very True; but a single T-34/85 + IS-2 is still better than the current state of armored warfare don't you agree? It would be very feasible to field both. As I see it 4 T-34/85s > IS-2 + 1 T-34/85 > 2 T-34/85s.

"IS2 spam"? Why one earth would you make a single IS2 if you have access to T34/85s, which do everything better right now?
Youre so wise D:
