Is T-34E STZ kinda OP?

M4 reloads in 5s ace, Pz4 reloads in 5.9s ace, t34 reloads in 6.9s aced. It’s the slowest of reloads for medium tanks at this BR. The gun also has bad ballistics and bad penetration. The tank’s upside is having a weaker gun in exchange for stronger armor. The mobility is probably the best of the 3 medium tanks overall but its also not that much better that its a massive difference. The gun handling for example is not great and the gun depression is bad of course. I think you are ignoring things wrong with it.

You’re still doing it. I’m giving you the time of day at the moment because I’m trying to be patient but please reflect on how you speak to others who have not said anything to you to provoke you. If you think I’m wrong about something you can explain why instead of implying insult.

??? bro have you ever played 4.0 br

Yes. So what’s your point?

The 1942 went up to 4.0 before the 1941 and if I were to look up some stats I can guarantee that the 1942 is having better stats than the 1941 at the same BR.

Because the 1942 always was more effective.

Spoiler





The T-34-76 is by far the most balanced medium tank in terms of stats. Well, balanced in the term that they are all good or even great.

What’s wrong is that the only other medium tank that has enough performance to even compete with them is a 1942 M4A2 Sherman and the Sherman should be a much more effective tank than an early 1941 T-34, with it’s minisule turret housing just two crew.
Not to mention that a 1943 Pz IV H, best armored Pz IV, with a more powerful gun, is also unable to compete with it.

The RoF being barely 1-2s slower than a Pz IV or Sherman doesn’t make any difference in the fact that it’s far more mobile.

The gun is also not less capable than the US 75mm. For every armor plate the US 75mm can pen there’s an angled plate the Russian 76mm will pen while the US shell can not.
And with 100g TNT eqivalent it’s more likely to one shot tanks with turret shots.

So there is nothing wrong with T-34-76 other than the fact that they are artifically better than they should be.

Are you really going to cry over the fact that I made fun of you for calling 6.5-6.9s “very slow”.

That’s not very slow, that’s mildy inconveniencing compared to a Sherman or Pz IV.

It’s not a T-34-100 that reloads in 11.5s at best when others do it in 6-7.5s.

Besides penetration, reload speed, gun handling, and gun depression? These aren’t minor characteristics

It definitely can… the T34 doesn’t have armor to the pz4.

I’m not sure what mobility has to do with rate of fire here. In my experience the T-34s definitely have a noticeable downside when played with their reload speeds being slower than other tanks they face.

The guns are sameish with their respective upsides and downsides.

Well two things,

  1. I’m simply asking you to be respectful because we’re just discussing the game. You can also see I’m not talking down to you or trying to imply you’re lesser. It would be appropriate for you to do the same.

  2. You’re now saying I’m “crying”. Lmao. You don’t see the disrespect for no reason? Do you speak to others like this in real life?

It’s the slowest reload of its peers. It is an obvious downside when playing the tanks.

They are so minor that they ended up being 4.0 tanks. What does a T-34-76 fail to penetrate that somehow makes you lose an entire match?
What tanks have better gun handling? To what degree?

Are you joking? Have you heard of the term angling? Range?
A T-34’s not giving a damn about a Pz IV because it’s so much slower and has much slower turret traverse that you’re never going to get shot by a Pz IV, unless you just drive right in front of its gun.

Well, let me enlighten you.
To kill a tank you need to shoot it.
To shoot a tank you need to point your gun at it.
To point your gun at it you need to see it.
To see a tank you need to be in a position to do so.

You can have Pz IV with a 1s reload and it won’t matter when you can’t kill the enemy before they kill you. Or if you can’t be in a position where the enemy is most likely going to show up.

Mobility gives you the ability to kill others and to defend yourself.

What is 1 or 2s longer reload compared to ariving 10s earlier at a location or firing 3 seconds faster on a target?

Yeah and the US 75mm is a perfectly viable cannon up to Tier III where yo can happily delete Tigers or Panthers from the side, if you have the mobility.

Considering that most armored vehicles at Tier II are going to be T-34s and KV-1s, the penetration of the 76mm hardly matters, since it’s perfectly fine to kill practically any target.

As much of a downside as having an aircraft cannon that fires “only” 700 RPM instead of 800.

It hardly makes any difference when the most important aspect is being in the position to hit someone and making those hits.

The reload should be at least twice as long and their BRs way lower. Because that’s how it was in real life, if not worse.

I mean it took them till around 1943 to put a cupola on a T-34 and KV-1.
