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: T-34B

Here’s a photo I took of a Yugoslav T-34B.

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, 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

+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…

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 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🤤
