The fact that this thread exists is proof that some people do have trouble telling the 76 and the 85 apart based on the turret.

Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

I'm going to +1 the suggestion about making unit icon more distinct.
That is easiest to make and you'd have to be exceptionally dumb to not tell 2 different icons apart.

There's no real reason not to do that but it wouldn't make them more distinct to the opponent which is what I think the issue is.

How often you get obliterated in close range by conscripts fully merged into shock squad, because you thought they were cons?

Tanks don't have icons displayed over them. Infantry do.
This supposed problem with the T-34/76 however is very easily fixed: all that's needed is to remove the fuel tank variants which were added a year or so ago.
I have no issue telling the 76 and 85 apart, the turret's all I've ever needed. I also quite like the visual variety with some having fuel tanks and some not: it's a nice touch like the different voices. But it really is causing confusion I wouldn't lose sleep over going back to just the plain 76.

If you intend to fix communication discrepancies you need to go all in.

The sherman arguments are redundant here, yes they should do a better job of helping players distinguish between them too... just because they don't it doesn't mean that they should have added fuel barrels to T34-76s on a random basis like they did!

Not at all.
Don't fix one thing if you can't fix everything is a strange mentality to have.
The best reason to keep the T-34/76 variants as they are is because they look nice, not because there are other unrelated UI problems that can't be fixed.

Huh?
All vehicles have the little icon above them in my games... and in the games I see others stream or cast.
Am I misunderstanding what 'icon' refers to?

Clicking the unit as Katitof mentioned is also no way to go here. In the heat of a battle where you have to place your units and move them around, it is simply too much for a "noob" to also check if the approaching tanks are "easy" or "hard" to break.

Being bad at the game isn't something balance patches can fix.
