Recently I was looking at the t30’s armor model and saw a slight difference between it and the t34/t29, which was weird because these tanks should be fairly identical armor wise. In particular, the t30 appears to be missing the 305mm ring around the mantlet which both the t34 and t29 have.
Heres the t34 with the 305mm mantlet ring. It appears the same way on the t29.
Here is the t30 which is seemingly missing this armor ring.
I’ve tried to look into this as much as possible, but I cant seem to find any reports on the armor of these vehicles that gives a obvious solution to the problem here. I’m not saying that war thunder is being inaccurate here, as far as I know the t30 might just not have the same mantlet ring. Besides, its not like adding a little mantlet ring will make and noticeable change to how the vehicle performs, so its not a big deal. Still though, if anyone has any information on this that might answer my question that would be awesome. Hell, maybe even gaijin will look into it, who knows.
