Is it me or is the vet 3 t34-76 underwhelming? If I succeed to keep it alive that long, it than faces better armor, which kill it with ease. In my opinion , they are designed to be used in massive formations. Which is a fine and pretty need design, yet why are they 100 fuel than? They cost to much..

That is because vet3 T34 isn't really that much different then vet0 one.

Its all about the armor vet axis tanks get.

Allied mediums have pretty underwhelming vet going for them and unless vet1 ability is good, the other 2 stars are pretty irrelevant.

You get better mobility and better RoF.
Axis tanks get that too plus in some cases huge armor buff or in other armor+hp. That makes a difference, RoF buff on inaccurate, low pen gun isn't bad in itself, but it certainly isn't as impactful.

Vet2 P4 is great, vet2 T34 is still meh. As a side note, USF shermans also do not have amazing vet, but pretty good out of the gate utility and the ability to actually FIGHT EFFECTIVELY at least 1 target group without the need for driving over it makes them incomparably more effective then T34.

All the difference of vet3 T-34/76 from vet0 are:
Secure Mode
speed - 7,8 from 6,5
reload speed - 3,83 from 6,75
turret rotation - 47,25 from 35
ac/de-celeration - 2,76 from 2.3
rotation - 43,2 from 36

For comparison, vet3 PanzerIV vs vet0:
Blitzkrieg - speed bonus to 8.505, ac/de-celeration to 3,276
armor - 234/117 from 180/90
reload speed - 4,1 from 5,75
turret rotation - 49 from 35
ac/de-celeration - 2,52 from 2,1
rotation - 38,4 from 32

if medium tanks are supposed to take losses in an attempt on destroying one heavy, then why to increase vet bonuses? you'll have to replace them anyway starting from vet 0

That got to be the dumbest argument I've seen this year and alex didn't made it easy to choose.

By your logic:

"lets remove axis vet2 armor bonus, it'll die anyway LOL"

He means that a medium tank is not supposed to take an heavy one alone.
And IS2 will still not care of P4 Vet 2, cause he will always penetrate him.

And he attempted to use that as an argument that change is not needed.
Its not unwise, its plain dumb.

That is like saying we shouldn't buff 222, because it'll lose to T-70 anyway.

That kind of argument doesn't make any sense at all.

It isn't completely true, at close - 100%, at mid - 94%, at far - 81%. In other hand, Tiger will always penetrate T-34/76, T-34/85 or different models of Sherman, except Easy Eight (100%/93%/83%) and Bulldozer (100%/100%/90%), at any distance.

why are you putting words in my mouth m8? i only said better vet bonuses will not be as relevant as other buffs because some of the vetted tanks will be destroyed which nullify the buff; the context was other buffs should be used instead m8

He has supported a huff for the T 34/76. He just wants a better tank out of the bat, a position that I also agree with.

These differences make sense for me, because each tank has it's role and developes for different ways of usage on the battlefield. One gains armor, other gains speed, one gets blitz, the other one gets secure mode, one gets more buffs on certain feature than the other and vice versa. Their veterancy bonuses are reflecting each army's profile and way of fighting. It's funny that soviet fanboys hate krupp steel but want that their tanks resemble to the german ones.
I'm curious, would you realy like COH2 to have similar (counterpart) units? Like Starcraft 2? The moment that will occur, I bet many of you will quit COH2.

But realy, what's the point of all these discutions. After June 23rd nothing will be the same again, so I heard ;).

I still have not seen a single decent argument why the t-34 needs a buff. the best argument so far is that its not an 85 so it sucks. well i can say the p4 sucks just as much then. but the t-34 is fine save for its shitty vet 1 ability.

I suspect nobody hates krupp steel, they just want it very much like you wrote :snfBarton:

Cause armour buffing vet is rare thing, it's very good and that make all the difference, 10 tanks/td have them by vet, 6-ost and 4-okw. If vet0 T-34/76 vs PanzerIV is a game of chance with PanzerIV advantage, vet3 T-34/76 vs PanzerIV is almost one way battle, it is 51%/42%/34% vs 80%/73%/67% for penetration of front armor, and 100%/85%/68% vs 100%/100%/100% for rare, with a little bit faster speed (without Blitzkrieg) and 0,3sec faster reload. Exchange of vet2 or vet3 reload bonus to vet hp bonus, wouldn't make T-34/76 better than PanzerIV, but it will be more close competition between them, even with increasing of it's price.

Or to put it into perspective:

10% faster reload off vet does NOT equal 30% armor advantage and duel 20% reload speed is vastly inferior to 30% armor 30% reload bonuses.

The numbers speak for themselves.

If T34 would be getting a significant buff to its hull and coax, then I would understand the difference, but it doesn't.

the only twat here is you and obviously you're illiterate to have you not readthe last 12 pages? Its already been explained why it needs a buff, or are you a huge coh2 pro who can beat the top 100 axis 1v1 players with only t34s

id love to see that

I guess having the best at gun, best generalist tank, best hand held at, and best med tank isn't enough against the mighty t34.

It makes zero sense that the 85 is locked behind commanders while both axis factions just simply get better shit. Meanwhile asking for a t34 buff is just too much.

These forums are becoming a clown car, with the same idiots that cant seem to L2P

Would be quite ironic considering russian radios, especially in the t34/76s either didn't exist or were shite.
