KPz T-34-85M (East Germany)

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.

Does the 69 model get the 75mm ufp?

I personally think the T-34B from Yugoslavia is pretty cool, I hope to see that one added as a premium or event.

Not sure what you mean. But, the 69 model is the ultimate T-34-85. Only surpassed by a Polish M2, which only adds fording ability.

I meant, does it have 75mm of armor on the upper frontal plate instead of 45mm?

60s models don’t even have that much. The hull remained unchanged. Which T-34 does?

I think it was the prototype which had that type of armor

Most likely not. T-34-85 production in the USSR ceased in 1946. While the Czechs and Polish were making those same 1946s into the 50s. So I doubt that any modernised T-34-85s had changes to their armour. The only thing that was not an “add on modification” on all T-34-85Ms was the roof, and even that type of ventilation is relatively rare, even on the 60s models.

Speaking of Model 1969. It has been approved: T-34-85 (1969). The Cold War T-34-85

Upon further research, I discovered that East Germany apparently operated a unique T-34-85 variant that featured fuel drums mounted in a configuration similar to the usual 60s Soviet layout. Interestingly, it also had what appear to be side-mounted smoke canister brackets, reminiscent of those seen on Model 1969 tanks. However, this same vehicle retains a 1944-style roof hatch, making it a particularly unusual T-34-85M.

+1. Could be unique, especially if you gave it the boat add-on. Even without that new engine + HEAT, so semi-unique

Why would anyone in their right mind want to see the boat add-on?

Mainly for meme reasons is what I think

Better be a separate tank. Could make for a funny suggestion.

maybe harder to aim + some protection against HEAT
