However, for some strange reason, the sherman is better than the t-34 in every, single way.
Sherman fires faster and is more accurate slightly
Sherman HE rounds have more AOE than t-34/76. 1.1 kill radio for t-34/76, 1.4 for the sherman
sherman has slightly more armor
sherman comes with a tank destroyer in the same tier building, thus making it more flexible
sherman has smoke, non doctrinal crew repair.
I don't understand why there is such a major difference in performance between the sherman and t-34.
I think if the t-34/76 got the same AOE as the sherman it would be fine.
One thing to note that the t-34/76 did have an AOE kill radius of 1.4 meters before western front armies was released. Then the t-34/76 got a stealh nerf for some reason.

It felt so lonely being the only viable tier based soviet tank so relic decided to let it go and hang out with the other useless overpriced tanks that inhabit t3 and t4.
Hehe pretty much this. At least they know of the current Call in meta and are going to fix it. Looking forward to see how this turns out in the end.

Ok, so lets look at the t-34/76 and M4 sherman, they both cost almost the same, 100 vs 110.
However, for some strange reason, the sherman is better than the t-34 in every, single way.

yes ignore the fact that they have around a 10 second delay every time they switch rounds making them far more taxing in micro management not to mention it greatly reduces their impact if they encounter infantry while in ap rounds and its borderline game over if they encounter a p4 while in he rounds.
give me tank liek the t-34 anytime.

I laughed, because it is funny.
I cried, because it is true.

Should probably wait and see how the meta evolves this patch, though.

I don't see Shermans with the same maneuverability as the T-34s. Don't forget to add that to its ability to survive, relocate,and perform that ram when making a comparison. Looking at the armor, reload, etc. stats by themselves and not include ALL the stats for comparison can be misleading. The excellent manueverabilty of the T-34 helps it negate the strong frontal t4 German armor...something the Sherman is not as adept at. Food for thought.
??? Sherman is slightly more mobile than the t-34

Just make T34s cheaper jeeez. 90 fuel and 260 manpower?
A 160 health buff at Vet 3 would be nice as well, give it more survivability.

You wouldn't say that if you knew that Sherman on AP rounds were more effective against Infantry than the T-34/76 gun, and that's without the rooftop .50 cal.

Looking over the Sherman vs T34 stats, the Sherman is indeed better in almost every way (usually only by an extremely small margin however) but is clunkier in terms of micro due to having to switch between types of rounds. Also, the Sherman costs slightly more per tank.
I personally think the units fine. I don't whether giving it its old pre-patch reload time is a good move because the tank is fine at the moment anyway.

Current iteration of the T34 is great. Probably one of the best medium tanks in the game in terms of cost-effectiveness, second really only to the PIV (I'd take T34s over Shermans any day of the week).

The difference between these 2 tanks is not minor. That 1 second reload difference makes a HUGE difference in a tank engagement.
And the sherman difference in AOE isin't minor either, sherman AOE kill radius is 1.4, t-34 radius 1.1. While the sherman also comes with the m36 jackson, and you can't have an su-85 if you want t-34s

I still love the T34.. it isnt a shit tank. It performs how it should for its price, and while the reload "nerf" is kinda unnecessary, it really doesnt make the T34 a shit and useless tank.
I'm not saying it's useless. I still use the t-34 too. All i am saying, is that it UNDERPERFORMS considerably, when compared to the M4 sherman, the t-34/76 if anything should perform better than the M4 sherman, because the t-34 doesn't come with a tank destroyer in the same tier structure.

All i find the stock sherman good for are the HE rounds, and even those arent beastly.
