Firstly, this does not look like 4.8 cm different. [(52-K (4,693 mm) vs S-53 (4,645 mm)]
Secondly, it aligned with its Soviet Unit Serving record. From 174 evacuation company to the 73rd Tank Battalion, which specific stated that they received a T-34-88.
Well, a png over a picture is a really bad way to determine something, specially when talking about size, and judging by the lack of credible information about this tank in particular, it’s way more likely to be just a KS-1 or 52-K mounted on a T-34-85
That pic is a confirmed fake. The suspension is completely untaxed.
If it was real, the T-34 in that pic will have the front of the chassis will be sagging massively due to how heavy and concentrated the weight is in relation to the rest of the vehicle
@AspandaIV Oh, did I accidentally imply that I thought it real? My bad, I’m well aware it’s a photoshop, but I think it’s fun to acknowledge one of the original fakes that this vehicle is so infamous for.
Should go to both Germany and USSR, just like the AMD Pak 50.
We just need to judge by the length of its canon. Furthermore, according to “L.Dv.T. 1127”, both version of 8, 5/8,8 cm Flak M.39 (r) used a muzzle brake similar to that of 52-K
I don’t play Germany but still this discover is very cool +1.
While the Flak had a muzzle brake, this isnt the flak.
99% of WoT Devs quit before thier tanks become real
twice the profit
Oh my God its actually real
Nah, it goes “twice the tank, double the gold!”
The T34-75 has a new brother lol
They just put the Tiger canon and gun shield into a T-34-85 model. They based their version on a fictional version created by a German modeller.
I’m aware, it’s roughly correct, though they took freedoms into creating a cool model.
This was discussed on Discord, whether or not you see a modified 88/85mm here still doesn’t discount the fact that this SU-100/85 appears to have the muzzle brake of the 52-K, something that was also included on the T-34-88…
buddy its very clear this is a 88
The weird gun T-34-85 in the newsreel was not concluded to be the T-34-88 by eyeball guestimation. It was confirmed by linking up the reconstructed service history timelines of the weird gun T-34-85 from the newsreel with that of the T-34-88 from that Soviet AFV registry. The keystone of this claim is that weird gun T-34-85 photo from the 174th Evacuation Company, which was part of the Army responsible for accepting the surrendered German equipment and sending the T-34-88 to the 73rd Tank Battalion.
By knowing how the German engineers would convert an 85 mm tank gun into 88 mm in Courland, and the similar 85/88 anti-aircraft gun-style muzzle brake, and a two-piece built-up barrel that the SU-85 gun had, I personally think it could be a SU-88 converted by rearming a SU-85 with an 88 mm gun.
