The Panzer IV was weighed to be a more cost effective anti-tank. In contrast, the T34 was weighed to be a more cost effective anti-infantry unit.

Imagine I give you a bucket, and I say you can put either big rocks or little rocks within that bucket. At the end of the day, you will have to decide how much of each rock type to put in that bucket. You can't put more rocks than the bucket holds.

Taking this analogy further, the size of the bucket is based on its cost. So not only does the T34 have a smaller bucket, it also has less of the big rocks and more of the little rocks. So if you try and use it for its big rocks, you aren't really going to get as much bang for your buck as you might have hoped for.

That said, its still possible that the unit needs a bit more tweaking to get that value assessment just right. For now, try taking advantage of its speed and higher efficiency vs. infantry. I'd also suggest getting the second building if you plan to use the third building, as you will be light on AT otherwise.

PZIV is good against everything that is NOT A SU-85, even a IS-2 won't be stand toe to toe to 2 PZIV, and the only difference between the so called "Bucket" is 40MP and 20 fuel, you buy a PZIV, the only thing you worried about is a SU-85, or a Hard counter ZIS

if you buy a T-34/76, the only thing you are not worry about is infantry without any AT capability, I don't think it's fair, it's not about L2P issue, I don't want to see a T-34 tank be a pathetic type95~98 japanese kamikazei tank, it's much worse than a Cromwell tank, and a cromwell tank is also slightly cheaper than a PZIV, but cromwell never feels such helpless, hopeless against a PZIV, even a handful of Cromwell can deal with a Panther with no problem, I don't remember Cromwell bounce off a Panther or a PZIV rear like T-34 do.........


they are pathetic......... tweak the Ram ability and give back what it should be please......let a Tank be a Tank!!!!!


(Like move the Ram to a vet 1 unlock, and rise the Pen of T-34/76 from 75(LOL???) to 100, T-34/85 from 110 to 145, they are still inferior to PZIV in-terms of armor and Chance of penetrating each out......... at least let em have a chance......

can wait to see this patch comes out, 90% German vs 10% Soviet in 2v2 would be awesome

Don't clump any unit up, it takes quite a while to come in, and it does not kill unless direct hit. So if you loose 3 squads because you were not paying attention that is the whole point of the game. Unit awareness. If you hear that sound, and you have ANY units clumped up SPREAD THEM OUT. It is FAR from unavoidable or OP. Know what you're enemy has line of sight on, generally the only place they can drop it is on a main engagement. Do a better job of staggering out you're forces and no problem.

cool, while the IL-2 bombing run has smoke alert,is this also called asymmetrical balance?

for the stuka bomb, if you hear that sound it's already too late, you'll find that whenever you play soviet, it's avoidable, but it's one-click kill for those units stuck by terrible pathing or those Zis-3 guns, I never lose 3 squads by stuka, cuz I mainly play German in 2v2.

Man, most of the stuff soviets have are really cheesy.

There are many key differences between soviet maxims and MG34s discussed everywhere:

1. Maxims can't be sniped while forcing retreat, MG34s can
2. Maxims have instant pack up time, MG34s take a while. This means maxims can easily rotate whereas MG34s can't
3. 6 man crew
4. Maxims move really quickly compared to MG34s

So, like I said in different threads, the Maxim is far better than the German counterpart to the point where it's a viable capping unit, unlike the MG34. Would you ever see this in VCoH? I think not.

Damage laughable to grens? Sorry, I tend to be playing a completely different game to you. Molotovs/PPSH (20 muni for siginificant increase in DPS) and HTD make them equal if not better than grens. Try killing a vet 3 conscript. You'll find it much harder than a vet 3 gren.

What you're looking at is the units on paper. But really, in the field, the differences are clear and it is now to the point of abuse.

I'm not saying soviet crews should be 3 men, I'm saying they shouldn't be something ridiculous like 6 with merge as well.

we are talking about the vastly underpowered T-34 series not those chessy pact, making something useful for its costs for the sake of balance

it's nice to see a live strafing run in action
