I just tried to explain why the TA is ingame.

Basically we have a few people here that don't grasp Barbarossa, parrots myths, and one that resorts to straw man agenda.

The KV and the T-34 had nil impact on the progress of Barbarossa. It did, however, have an impact on the progress of Operation Typhoon.

Every hour/day they held up german armor was a huge impact on the German progress.

The Germans lost the war in July-August 1941, with the slow and troubled execution of the Smolensk pocket.

The core tanks of Barbarossa were the Bt-series and the T-26. The German infantry divisions had little trouble advancing or defending against soviet armor in 1941- their 37mm 'doorknockers' were enough. In the odd case that they had to deal with T-34 or Kv models, they used pioneers, their 88mm guns and artillery batteries. Much of the time, the soviet armored forces got outmaneuvered and were defeated without even fighting.


It would be too unhistorical to use the T-34 and the KV as a core tank for a mod.

Not so rare, it was about 508 KV and 967 T-34 build before war (Panzer 38T - 1,414 tanks). In first half year of 1941, with cancelling production of T-26 and BT series, was produced about 393 KV tanks and 1110 Т-34.

T34 can have miracle shots, increasing AOE is not the way to go. The 'bug fix' where the reload was too long should be removed. The t34 was in a good spot then.
