Ello gents, I have been using the T-34/76 quite a bit recently in Soviets 1v1s but I have been struggling to vet them up. I always stop before firing, close into close range, try running over (my main amount of kills), and even ramming and destroying enemy tanks. (Two rage quits so far with the ram haha.) OKW is the main threat with Volks carrying panzerschrecks and my T-34/76 simply not hitting or taking too much damage while doing minimal in return. Any tactics or other uses for this medium tank? Thank you gents!

If you are fighting infantry, don't bother shooting. Just go for the crush. If you are fighting armor, you typically want a 2-1 advantage.

I typically skip this tank, but using it as an ambush vehicle is probably best. Advancing over open ground is typically a bad idea vs. Shrecks.

I like to use them as bullet sponges for my IS-2

Nah make that 4-1. 1 to ram, 1 to flank, 1 to distract and one to actually shoot at the counterparts.

4 tanks to destroy 1, and probably loose 3. xD
240 fuel cost for killing a ~200 fuel cost tank is not worth

I think at this point, the T34/76 ought not be at the center of anyone's overall strategy. It's a low health generalist tank, not particularly great at anything, that arrives at a time when the enemy's strategy and intentions should be a bit more clear. If he's going to push an armor advantage, you're better off with a couple of SU76s or an SU85. If you're up against a Pak dig, you might want a Katyusha. If he's still just spamming infantry, a T70 or M5 with the quad might still, even at that stage, be more sensible.

The only time I feel the urge to build a T34 is when I already have a heavy on the field (the ISU or IS2), I'm up against an enemy heavy like the Jagdtiger, King Tiger or Elefant and I want something that can rush in and flank, maybe even ram.

I build T34s to throw them at the enemy with little consideration for their survival while my more dedicated units hold the line.

As much as I can appreciate the new Soviet tech structure, with T3 arriving so much more quickly, I do kinda miss my fuel cache into T3 and T34/76. It used to hit the field early enough that it could pick up some veterancy and be a truly effective unit. Now it just makes more sense to build several SU76s.

Sigh.

I'd say it's much safer to go t-70 into su-85 for great AI and AT, than make multiple shit at everything t-34.

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM
Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.

Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy :clap:

Nickbn: @Rosbone it's incredibly rude to speak on someone elses behalf, especially when a question is directly adressed to them. I understand your passion for the subject at hand but I want to hear from him.
20 Mar 2025, 10:16 AM
Rosbone: @Nickbn No, I am just saying people should not be using any Relic owned forum since they have proven they ban anyone who says true things about Coh3.
