T-34-85 ('45) idea

so you know how the sideskirts are from a panzer?.. what if we could choose between the wire mesh or solid plates depending ont he style we want? :think.


Small QoL update possibly?, would be a modification to pick between the two

Would would a soviet tank use German skirts?

this acutally is plaussible. we know armys love yoinking any metal from dead tanks for extra armor for protection

it already is. insert this guy


Girl… That’s not the same lmao the t34 85 used like bedframes and old fences not old German armour lmao it’s just addon armours.

Yet the only cases of this happening were from actual German t34s although the Russians did have their own skirts for the earlier models like 1942 area.
Here’s one example of it on a German t34

edit: i mean choose which addon

Probably ever tbh the Russians did have their own skirts although they were limited it use and Incredibly rare iirc

yea :pensive:

constant capture of enemy tanks. The soviets most likely adjusted plating to fit any plates captured or they relised the panzer had better plate armour.

Yet we can’t prove. The Soviet skirts in photos were that. Soviet not German plus they would likely need specialized mounting as they are meant for panzers and not t34s.

while we cant yet factually prove that surely they would know how to manufacture such mounting for the plates due to the sheer number of different german tanks they nicked such as the panther, tiger 1 and other variants too

( Soviet Marshal Georgy Zhukov and other general staff members inspect a captured German Tiger I heavy tank in 1943)

while it might not be the exact right tank they must’ve had the information to try it at some point

You understand that could just yk. Cut it off but correct they did capture a lot but the Soviets were focused on mass production it doesn’t make sense to send tanks back to be fitted with German skirts when again Soviet ones existed.
