The 1942 version is so much better than the 1941 version and so is the STZ version.
i thought that 3.7 was good for it. For example the Pz4j and m4a2 being at 3.7 so why did the t-34-76 1941 get moved up. Can someone please help me understand.

Its cannon.
From personal experience the 3.7 and the 4.x t34’s are some of the most strong vehicles at their BR’s. Mainly volumetric is to blame as it can make taking these tanks out pretty tough. Id say almost all t34s could go up .3 and still do pretty well. Though im mainly referring to the 57 cause that thing is a SL printer and actual beast of a tonk.

It has good cannon, mobility, turret rotation and armor. It is far better and all round platform than Pz IV J.
M4A2 is 4.0 btw
Just to ruin your line up
Its cannon is the same as the 1942 and STZ version, all have average pen at their brs.
The only real difference between the 42 and 41 is slightly faster reload, more ammo variety, stronger drivers hatch armor, and the turret is bigger. Functionally both tanks are basically the same and there’s no major upgrade like the STZ with stronger hull armor.
The 4.0-4.3 T-34s clap basically every other nations medium tanks. The turret armor is troll, if you angle the hull it can bounce most shells of the nations you face at that BR, it has good mobility, and the 76mm gun has good angle performance and derps everything usually in one hit. The angle performance lets you shoot through the front plate of M4A2s and even the turret roof of Churchills.
The Panzer 4s you face at 3.7-4.0 only have the gun going for them because the all around flat armor is basically worthless for protection. The M4A2 is a good tank though and a bit scary to face if your gun can’t pen the front armor slope.

So assuming that is all true why did they stay at the same BR for years?
It’s more about the other nations at that BR than the T-34s themselves. Most nations except for USSR/Germany can’t run 4.0 line-ups because they might only have 1 tank at 3.7-4.0 and then they jump straight to 5.0-5.7. Then you got Britain and other countries still firing solid shot.
The Panzer 4s used to be 4.3-4.7, but they got dropped down to 3.7-4.0. Most other nations saw BR drops as well except for the USSR.
The T-34s are fine at 4.0-4.3 because if they went any higher they’ll get clapped hard by other nations.
I know what you mean but I think if they left the old tanks alone then it would not create this domino effect.Why waste resources and time reshuffling the deck when there are so many much more pressing issues in the game that need sorting out.
All things considered 3.7-4.3 is my favorite BR and it’s about 80% of the matches I play.

same here really
Fun fact: the turret cheeks on a T-34 M1942 are actually 100mm+ thick.
