Well realism shouldn´t be totally unimportant. I agree that balance is the main priority, but if you can combine balance with historical accuracy (to the degree it´s possible) that´s even better. T-34s should be present in almost any game and only the T-34/85 should be on the level of Panzer IVs. Their advantage should be mass deployment and flanking maneuvers. Panther should be the hard counter to any T-34 if kept at distance with the front facing the T-34s.

Problems I have with the T-34:

1) Unavailability of the T-34/85 (only some doctrines)

2) Inflexibility of calling in the T-34/85 (I can´t call in one, but have to take two at higher cost)

3) Cost of the T-34/76 is insignificantly lower than that of the Panzer IV

4) Flanking doesn´t get rewarded. (Shots to German tanks´ flank/rear should penetrate more often)

5) Get´s totally outperformed by SU-85

6) Ram


Possible solution:

1) Make the T-34/85 available in the T-3 building next to the T-34/76. A cost of 330 MP 105 fuel could seem appropriate. To not totally make the T-34/76 useless, the unlock for the 85mm version could require some resources being spent

2) The empty commander slot could be filled with a KW-1 76mm (from the campaign), possibly for less cps. Players are flexible as they can build the T-34/85 now in their T-3 building.

3) The cost for the T-34/85 could be lowered to the 105 or so fuel from (I think 260 fuel for 2). The T-34/76 could be tuned down to 85 fuel.

4) Not sure how the damage model works in CoH2. But there always was a front and rear part on tanks in Coh1. So shots to the rear and side should be more likely to penetrate. T-34s should be used for flanking maneuvers.

5) The thing needs a nerf, hands down. See other thread.

6) I think we shouldn´t totally get rid of this ability. After all it´s a creative feature. I think it should be only available on the T-34/76 model and be replaced on the T-34/85 with overdrive. Could show the desperate attempts of an underarmed tank. It would still encourage building the 76 model.

Maybe hte MAxim needs a suppression buff, it feels so weak when trying to suppress though i do understand it is not an HMG42 but it still does not fit quite right.

Thanks for the feedback it was really helpful i will try to adjust my gameplay accordingly.

I have an idea, maybe me and ezep can play against each other and upload the replays, this way you can mentor both of at the same time instead of going through multi replays.
