T34/76 should get a slight buff

The problem with buffing anti infantry is then it over shadows the T-70 even more. What is the point of the T-70 if the T-34 is just as good against infantry. 30 less fuel isn't enough.

I think penetration would be to nice to give it a bit more late game scaling but without breaking the balance vs Paks or P4's. Alternatively I really like the idea of nerfing the armour on all the heavies.

A ROF buff would help the T34 in all area's, it's really silly that the KV1 is basically just a extremely good T34 that arguably outclasses the 85 in performance despite costing almost the same.

GL chasing or flanking with a KV1.

The KV1 is quite fast for a heavy tank with the amount of armor it has. It's only 1.2 slower than the 85.

And that's a LOT! Add acceleration, rotation and size into account also. I think you constantly overestimate the small numbers.

This. Buffing the AI capabilities of T37/76 makes T70 useless. And it makes T3 even more I would still suggest penetration buff at vet3.

That's okay, but it's cost would need to be raised. The PIV is 25 fuel more expensive because it's a better tank.

I feel like this unit has been rebalanced too far from its original concept - quick, cheap tank that was best and easily used in groups. The old ram that guaranteed gun knockout kept it viable late game.

Right now its a mid game tank which, whilst not being too bad, isnt great at anything, and cant break a late game stalemate where the enemy have heavies.

Edit: I think that like with a lot of the soviet units the problem lies not with its stats but with how it suits its role and how the faction is designed. It's an OK tank, but without a heavy alternative its just not the sort of unit you want in the late game

Then why not moving T-70 to T4 and SU-76 to T3?

Why I should spend 70 fuel for an anti-inf tank when I can make T-34 for 100 fuel which is decent in anti-inf and can fight vs tanks or why I should spend 70 fuel for SU-76 when I can have SU-85 or Katy for the barrage?

I think similar. They removed ram and tweaked some stats but didn't give anything for it. 2 of these can fight against Tiger but they need some good luck to do so, provided they won't get screwed by path finding. You also need to screen it with infantry, which is ok but my biggest problem is that this tank is too fragile to risk chasing.

Also I think 100 fuel is tad too much. 95 or 90 would be more reasonable.


That said however I got this feeling that with the introduction of British army, we'll have some major balance tweak as it was the case with Western Fronts. Ram was removed because of that as it would be too simple to knock down the only OKW vehicle with it and completely neglect any tank play.

Some interesting thoughts here. I agree that the T34/76 was largely rebalanced based on community feedback, and entirely disrupts the way in which T3 was designed. The T34 either needs something to make it scale better, or my preference is to see Soviets reworked as a faction.

Opinion: I would like to see multiple T34's vs 1 German tank again, instead of basically a 1v1 situation we have now.
