+1, germany 5.7 line up can benefit a medium tank. I tend to skip 5.7 and use 6.0 because there are no medium for 5.7 and I dont wanna uptier panther D. Now with this addition ( ld prefer techtree) this can make the 5.7 line up more enticing for me to play.
Isnt it funny German T-34 better than Russian lol, they get the best T-34-76 the 747, now with this a better T-34-85, matching the Chinese Gai variant.

Careful now. I got a Soviet T-34-85 Model 1969 suggestion pending. If there is a T-34-85 that will take the top prize it’ll be the Polish T-34-85M2 which is essentially a T-34-85 Model 1969 with fording ability.

Looking forward for that

-1 unnecessary, especially given how many vehicles in the 5.3-6.3 BR range Germany already has and also could get

I’m gonna have to -1 this, it has no gameplay-relevant changes from a regular T-34-85. I do want east german tanks but not straight copy paste.
I think that will be an “only” for me. Pretty much an identical T-34-85M can be added to Russia, so unless we have the option for this unique East German modification I’m not sure I will support this suggestion.
Ah, why not? More GDR stuff is always appreciated. Have my +1, especially if we get the variant with the T-54 engine. And a +1 for the boat kit

It is different from a standard T-34-85.
It is a T-34-85 with a higher top speed and a faster turret rotation. It is essentially a T-34-85 Gai with no DShK. And unlike the Gai, this one should be modelled to have smoke canisters.
It could also potentially use HEAT shells, that the Soviets developed for their T-34-85s.

I think no. While I fully support the addition of most GDR tanks, I am not a fan of WWII vehicle families, with the exception of maybe something like an IS-2 (because that’s just cool). Germany isn’t exactly lacking 6.0 medium tanks, and adding a postwar T-34 there would be really put of place amongst the WWII vehicles especially fighting the Soviet WWII T-34s and particularly causing issues in Sim.
That being said it would be kinda funny for Germany to have both the best T-34-76 and best T-34-85.
Good suggestion and a great vehicle idea! Always in support of more GDR vehicles.

If it comes with those HEAT shells I would change my vote to a +1.

So a 6.0 T-34-85?
If it gets HEAT I don’t see why not, although I think it should start as a 5.7. If the Soviets also get their T-34-85 Model 1969 with HEAT, then 6.0 would make sense.
Possibly, T-34-85M would be a nice filler.

Aren’t these just T-34-85 1960 and 1969 in German service?

Yes and no, I have a pending T-34-85 Model 1969 suggestion. It will go into detail.
