My dealer says the samething. Compare T-34 vs Sherman (high explosive shell) and P4 Mg-42 gunner than ya T-34 is garbage against infantry.

Well, then I must have just dreamed about my squads being one-shoted by T34 I guess, it never happened... like at least once per game.

Sucks for you. You should've sacrificed a goat for the RNG Gods.

Meanwhile the MG sucks, the RoF is slow and it misses the other 9/10 of it's shots.

I don't know guys but for me T34 is performing at least as well as the shermann when it comes to AI. Shermann without HE shells of course.

@JohnnyB
Lower RoF, lower AoE, worse scatter, worse MGs.
You saying AP rounds doesn't really mean much here, because AP rounds sherman performs terribly against inf.

Most of players here are mature(at least physically), keep the fairy tales for kids.

T34/76 doesn't excel at any particular task and is usually not worth the 100 fuel. That doesn't mean that it can't kill the crap out of infantry units.

I notice that the T34/76 rarely hits infantry while moving, and while it's gun isn't great, it's when the tank is stationary that you will see the best anti-infantry results.

It will be useful, then it won't have to hit infantry with threads to kill them. Otherwise, its not really fine or ok and it'll be even worse if it stays that way.

Which is true for every other tank as well, which happen to be vastly superior to T34/76 in that regard as well, low rof and high scatter in relation to other tanks make it worst AT and AI tank in game and the cost doesn't really portray the disparity accurately.

t34 has its moments if/when it gets vet 2-3, but before that it's pretty weak

Both soviet and wehr tier 3 sucks. I wouldn't mind seeing t4 and call in supertanks delayed 5 more minutes so that both factions' tier 3 has some kind of use

The worstthing is pz 4 completely unable to penetrate is-2 rear armor....which is absurd.

You could very well use Panzer 4 J's from elite armored with HEAT rounds :P

Same thing could be said of the T-34/76 vs Tigers and King Tigers rear armor.

Its not "bad" per se, same as the PIV, it clearly has a place in the game if you want to consolidate ie. on a strong early game, however, against an opponent that goes full meta ie. strong T1-T2 into Tigers it has a definite expiration date, even 3-4 T34/76s will usually outright fail to take down a properly supported Tiger...PIV has it arguably even worse against IS-2 btw. In other words, its better to transition into call-ins of your own eventually.

Well u can even say same thing about cons rifle versus King tiger rear armor if u want...

But, t34 is cheaper than pz4 and KT is alot more expensive than IS, so...

But still, i think that t34 is just little underperforming, but i would rather like to stay it as is than Relic try to "fix it" because they will overdue it like every single time when units need tweaking.

And to clarify why i want it to stay as is rather than direct tweaking of unit, is becuase i think unit itself is working good but problem is in call ins.
