Decals or camouflage alone should not justify the addition of a copy-paste tank. We already have a ridiculous amount of these tbh.
If this tank is to be included, it should come with all its documented or potential features, such as rear fuel drums/smoke canisters, the turret stowage box, snorkel, and so on. To my knowledge, there isn’t a single photo of a Polish T-34-85 with the full set of these upgrades installed.
I’d also argue that, if added to the USSR tech tree, it shouldn’t be a standard tech-tree vehicle. Model 1969 is the one that should be added next to the USSR tech-tree.
It should be noted that Polish tanks did appear on the most recent Russian military parade. (Most were Czech)
It’s just an idea for an event for a polish tech tree, many people from eastern Europe grew up watching this TV show (even from as far as Georgia I heard), for me it raised my interest in the military for example. So it’s a tank close to the community’s heart.
I have no problem with skins. I just don’t want to see another bland T-34-85 justified by a “unique” skin.
What walletworrier was saying is that the T-34-85M2 could be a tech tree version and the T-34-85M1 could be a premium. I was just suggesting that the T-34-85M1 gets a unique camo right off the bat because gaijin likes giving premiums unique camos.
For Rudy 102 it would just be a perfect vehicle for the current event rotation as a smaller reward.

Ive done some more research and ive come to the conclusion that Polish T-34-85s produced post war in Bumar-Labedy are M1945 variants.
This would explain the smoke canisters on the rear of many of the vehicles. Otherwise I have had a really hard time finding what exact variant of the T-34 was produced in Poland, I know the variants they got during the war but most of the models upgraded to T-34-85M standard were of Polish production.
If anyone can find info on Bumar-Labedy T-34-85 it would be much appreciated (im looking for the exact model that they produced, with proof. Right now I have no solid proof like written document, just connecting dots.)
Also if anyone can find a M1946 T-34-85 in Polish service that got upgraded to T-34-85M standard it could give an excuse for an ingame model to have the W-2-34M with extra 20hp
Should get a golden shovel but i’m intrested to see IT ingame. But i also for 1 small feature of this tank. It Has active night vision for a driver. IT Has 2 headlights and 1 was a active night vision.
Edit: IT was mentioned
