I’m pretty sure it’s just a modeling error in game
No, we have other data that is documented!
200kg seem reasonable for 12.7 mg
If you are talking about the type 54 machine gun on the T34-85 GAI, then it weighs 36-38 kilograms
And now I’m talking about the 34-85 in the Swedish branch.
Look at the total weight of all the machines. In the search you can enter 34-85 and you will be given a list of TMs in principle, you can also compare, but there is a site
For example, the T34-85 D-5T has weaker turret armor. but at the same time, take into account the weight. It would be possible to write this off, but there is already another gun there. this is again a lower weight…
But if you combine all the cars except the Variant D-5T, then they all weigh 32.2 tons
But most except the Swedish one have additional booking, another engine, and on the T34-85 the traffic police, as I wrote above, weighs 36 kilos…
I’m already silent about the fuel tanks on the sides
And all this is not in the 34-85 Swedish branch, but the tank weighs “its” 32.2 tons
T-34-85 with ZIS on soviet tech tree is also 32.2ton
Its from a while ago and the weight change was never listed. Regardless the Finnish T34 should weigh .2t less given it has less parts overall.
The 1941 finnish T34 also has .2t more than the soviet model as gaijin added the add on armor weight to it but without the add on armor.

Discrepancy in T-34-85 Weight
There is a significant point of discussion regarding the weight of this T-34-85 model. It seems to be lighter than it should be, considering all the additional elements.
First, take a look at the upper frontal hull plate—it’s covered with spare track links, which are also placed along the sides of the tank. The model also has three external fuel tanks, each with a capacity of 90 liters. These additions would significantly increase the tank’s total weight.
Moreover, all of these tanks used the same engine, a model from 1944, so the difference in weight cannot be attributed to the engine.
Historical Context: Captured T-34-85s
During the Continuation War in the summer of 1944, specifically during the battles on the Karelian Isthmus, Finnish forces captured a number of Soviet tanks.
Historical sources indicate that the Finnish army seized seven T-34-85 tanks. Most of these were either battle-ready or required only minor repairs. After being serviced, they were integrated into the Finnish army. These were the standard T-34-85 modification armed with the 85-mm ZiS-S-53 gun, produced in 1944 at Soviet factories, including Factory No. 183 in Nizhny Tagil.
The Story of Factory No. 183
It’s crucial to note the origins of this key factory. Factory no. 183 in Nizhny Tagil was established using the equipment and personnel from the Kharkiv Locomotive Plant (KhPZ), also known as Factory No. 183, which was evacuated from Kharkiv in 1941 as German forces approached.
In the fall of 1941, to prevent its capture, the plant’s core equipment and most of its staff were moved to the Ural region, specifically to Nizhny Tagil.
There, the relocated resources were merged with the local Ural Carriage Building Plant. This new, combined entity was designated as Ural Tank Factory No. 183.
Therefore, Factory No. 183 in Nizhny Tagil, which became the main producer of the T-34 tank during World War II, was built on the foundation of Ukrainian industrial power, resources, and personnel. The “greatness” of Soviet tanks was rooted in these capabilities from Ukraine, not from a factory built from scratch.
the premium one the one which you get from event whatever its called again
