Is is just me or is the T-34 completly OP?

[Walta Gaming]

I have played all nations up to BR 4.0 now and the tanks all seem to have their strengths and weaknesses that need to be overcome. However, some stand out in just being near unstopable killing machenes which others are near useless.

I have been playing the British and American tanks a lot lately and have been doing good with them. However, after playing the T-34 for a few games it is really easy to see just how broken this tank is. The mobility is crazy being faster then all the other 3.7 BR medium tanks, the side armour is bonkers at 40mm of sloped armour, the gun does crazy amounts of damage and can pen almost anything it faces and the turret rotation is almost instant in AB.

The hull armour is so good that if you angle it then you can bounce stuff like nobodies busness so you can attack tanks head on and win more then half the time so it almost fills the role of a heavy with the mount of stuff it can bounce. The speed makes it great for flanking and the 76mm does so much damage that any sort of penitration kills half the crew at least so it can almost be a TD at long range if you want.

The only issue is the gun depresion but with the super speed mobility you can get into a good possition fast enough to get a shot off most of the time. I have played the British and Americans much more then the Russians but I have had much more crazy games (8+ kills with no deaths) with the T-34 then any other tank by far even though I don't play it all that often.

I am the only one who sees it as being broken or is it just me? The F2 is also great for it's BR but it has paper armour so I don't see that as being OP but the T-34 can do everything it seems.

AB are complete RNG crap which doesn't even work properly and since ♥♥♥ update server is out of sync with what client renders xD

I'm playing RB with the T-34s and I am yet to experience this OPness. If I go head to head with any tank I am bound to lose if they shoot first and don't miss me, as their shot will always penetrate my armor. I've been killed by a shot straight through my frontal and side armor, machine gun port, tracks etc. I can't even remember how many times I have been killed by a M18 with a shot from half the map away. That is one OP tank. ♥♥♥♥ that speed with such a strong gun.

Most of my games are done after 2 or 3 min as I get one shotted from some tank that was hiding opposite of the side I was trying to protect with cover. Some games I do manage to get survive longer then that and get kills.

The only way I manage to get kills is if I manage to flank an enemy and get of an one shot kill.
The lack of gun depression means you have to position yourself downhill if you want to shoot someone who is even slightly beneath you and far away.

Unless I'm missing something, Thunderskill does not show you have played those vehicles, at least not that many times... was that a screenshot from over a year ago from CBT or OBT before the sloped armor was nerfed?

it is a fresh screenshot.. at the top right it displays the version #
Also i played the T34 2 days ago and capped this

Lol... well, you are a really good player in-general. I have a feeling you have lots of these sorts of screenshots with all sorts of other tanks, not just the cherry-picked T-34's... if I was home right now I would be tempted to show you how "OP" the Churchill MK III, Ka-Mi, Ka-Ni, several StuG's, KV-1E, Pz II C, and of course my favorite: Aufklärungspz.38(t) 140/1 (say that last one 10 times fast!). My point is that if I have screenshots of doing well in a battle in just about every tank, no matter how poorly I did in most of the other matches, I think you probably have that many more good screenshots, which tend to show player performance over how objectively good a tank is... I mean Ka-Mi?... that thing is horrible... it's a boat that does not even have any water to use those propellers in 99% of the maps we have... are they even functional?

That is not even that good. I have done 12-0 with the 1942 and only 1 shot penned me the entire game. Also went 8-0 with the 1941 but my entire crew was in perfect health because the armour is so bouncy that everything flew off without a scratch.

EDIT: Acording to Thunder Skill I have 22 battles with the 1941 and an average K/D of 2.6. Just thought that was worth mentioning.

If gaijin actually followed the "they are very good irl so they are good in the game" thing the Tiger would be the best tank in game, maus wouldn't suck, the Pershings also wouldn't suck, cold war ♥♥♥♥ wouldn't go against WW2 stuff, etc.

Lol wtf does that even mean...
The Tiger tank was OK at best...It would break down alot and was expensive as ♥♥♥♥ to make

The T-34/85 D-5T had a better cannon, was faster, and was cheaper to make...

Well why stop there? The Tigers should also break down every 3 minutes into gameplay.

Tiger H1's should certainly break down quite often, the E variant still but not as much. also following that logic Shermans should break down often too, as should Churchills and many many other tanks. Also not sure what you mean by the T-34-85 being better. the Tiger had a suprising max speed for its weight, but was slow to accelerate sure, but the t34-85 does not have a better gun, it has less penetration and they both have around the same explosive filler (dont quote me on the explosive filler). The t34-85 was also rather late into the war, first showing up in 1943 and then only showing up in larger numbers in mid 1944. In addition to this the t34-85 was also able to be pen'd by every german tank and had difficulty penning a properly angled tiger, and extreme difficulty penning things such as the jagdpanther and panther (panther turret at longer ranges).

Oh and the reason Gaijin doesn't add tanks breaking down into the game is because who the hell wants to sit their half the time fixing a tank?

Just checked, the T-34-85 has quite a bit less explosive power, meaning the tiger's gun is better in pretty much every way.

Not in my experience its not.. they are about the same.

using BR-365K rounds, the other rounds are indeed about the same
