Well ain’t this just a pleasant surprise.
Although it may specifically be Chinese and not Soviet. But, I’ll do some digging.
Edit: Yes, this shell was exclusively Chinese.

Big +1 from me! This and the 1943 model of the T-34/76 would be great to see added to the Soviet tech tree!

I should also note that the Yugoslavs operated T-34-85s featuring 1960s-era modifications, with some variants designated as T-34B: T-34B
Here’s a photo I took of a Yugoslav T-34-85B. The tank featured the updated roof, fuel pump box, and electric turret traverse, along with the distinctive starfish wheels. Interestingly, it also has mounting bolts for side-mounted smoke canisters on the side slope, suggesting that Yugoslav T-34-85Bs may be T-34-85 Model 1969s, with Yugoslavia simply opting not to purchase the external fuel barrels and smoke canisters (although smoke can mounts and wires can also be seen on the rear of the tank).
However, much like other operators, their fleet suffered from significant uniformity issues. Given the overlap in features, it’s quite plausible that some of these Yugoslav-modified tanks were among those shipped to Cyprus.

This model of T 34/85 should have been in the game for a long time, we have several models of T-54/55, T-62, T-72, but no other model of T34/85 in the Russian tree, apart from the T34/85 GAI in the Chinese tree

The T-34-85 Model 1969’s HEAT-FS Round.
The image above shows a HEAT round compatible with the T-34-85’s main gun, specifically the 3BK-2 and 3BK-2M HEAT-FS rounds. The 3BK-2 uses a steel-lined shaped charge, while the 3BK-2M features an improved copper liner for greater penetration.
These rounds will work in any Cold War-era T-34-85, as long as they were purchased by the operator in the first place. This includes the East German, Polish, Yugoslav and Czechoslovak T-34-85 tanks.
Thank you @SoyBeanInhaler

+1 t-34 and not copy paste
+1, cuz T-34 brain off mode. I am gonna say it should be where the T-34-85(STP) is then folder the STP in with it. They’re both 6.3 T-34-85’s due to the STP’s stabilizer and 1969’s HEATFS being able to UFP a king tiger
oh btw, is the “heavy anti-aircraft” machine gun a 12.7 DShK or a 14.5mm KPV? Cuz I’d prefer the KPV
basically T-34-85 in steroids.
+1 absolutely would love this in the tech tree, the game needs more “late” versions of vehicles in general
Tiny nitpick, those aren’t T-34 wheels styled as T-54/55 wheels those are literally T-54/55 wheels. :3

They are T-34 wheels stylized as T-55 wheels, the T-55 wheels are too big for the T-34. These are separate production and aren’t interchangeable slight differences
So why are there images of T-34 style wheels on T-54/55? Are you telling me they made 2 style wheels for both? Plus I am fairly sure I read somewhere they were the same…
T-34
T-55A

Okay but that still does not explain why there is T-34 style wheels for T-55s. :s
Only for T-54s and that was only on when the new wheel hadn’t been invented yet. Just the same design but different production parameters
+1 as would be nice addition to the tech tree
+1 This vehicle would make a solid bridge from the WWII to cold war eras. I think a lot of players like me, need a T-3485 that hits that sweet spot – and as a Battle Pass reward it’d be perfect🤤
