No matter how famous and popular the T-34 tank, it naturally, in addition to its advantages, had its drawbacks. And, of course, they were transferred to the game World of Tanks, which for several years has already been in the top of the best multiplayer projects.
To date, there has not been a single similar simulator in which the opportunity to lead the tank crew and go on a battle with other similar gamers would be presented. In the game, the developers tried to convey as accurately as possible all the characteristics of military vehicles - up to the turning speed in degrees and the likelihood of a fire. And you need to properly study absolutely all the characteristics and features of the tank on which you are going to ride.
As mentioned earlier, the famous Soviet T-34 tank will now be considered. The guide will guide you through all the details of this model, highlighting the positive and negative sides.
T-34 guns
The L-11 is the main weapon that the T-34 is equipped with, but you have every right to replace it. And armament is something that the T-34 definitely lacks. Hyde will tell you about each gun that you can install on this model, and start directly from the factory L-11. Leaving this gun makes absolutely no sense, since it has a very low penetration of armor, a terrible rate of fire and a huge spread - even mixing it is worthless. Therefore, use this tool as little as possible - until you have the funds to buy one of the other three - F-34, ZiS-4 or S-54.
The first gun, compared with the original, slightly increases penetration, rate of fire and speed of information, and also decreases the dispersion, that is, it becomes quite acceptable for warfare. But it’s better to choose between the last two.
ZiS-4 is a quick-fire gun with low damage, but a fairly high penetration rate. Moreover, her mixing is minimal, as is the spread. If you need power, not speed, then choose the S-54 - here you will have great penetration and damage, it will delight and not too much dispersion. But here the low rate of fire and a long mix do not allow this tool to become cheatingly strong. In general, you have the right to choose guns for various tactical designs on the KV-1. A guide cannot recommend any of these tools to you, since they are all (except the original) good for various situations on the battlefield.
Tower selection
As for the tower for this tank, it is also worth changing as soon as possible. Of course, you can fight with the original tower, which is immediately installed on the T-34 - the guide cannot forbid you from doing this. But you should still familiarize yourself with what the modification will bring you.
Firstly, you will receive seven additional millimeters of armor on the forehead and side, which can play a very important role, and secondly, the turret’s turning speed will increase significantly - from 40 degrees per second to 49 degrees per second.
Well, and thirdly - the review of your tank will increase very much, by as much as ninety meters. So you can decide for yourself whether to use the original tower or not, but the numbers indicate that the modified version is much better for the T-34-85. Hyde then proceeds to consider the other components of this machine.
Engine improvement
Many players who choose this tank think about whether to change the engine or whether it is better to use funds for something more useful. Given the quality engine the T-34-85 was originally equipped with, the guide still recommends not rushing to replace the engine. The thing is that already initially the motor has a fifteen percent probability of fire, which is quite small, and there is no point in lowering this indicator.
Moreover, the new engine does not hurt this characteristic at all, so you can forget about it. What remains? And there remains a power that rises from 480 to 500 horsepower - while the new engine costs almost ten thousand more. So is it worth it? Of course, if you have free money, then you can make this replacement, but there is no point in rushing with it - your T-34-3 will survive without these twenty horsepower. Hyde, however, recommends paying attention to another element of the machine, namely the chassis.
Chassis and its replacement
The T-34 tank is good in itself, even in its initial configuration. But still it’s worth thinking about modifications, because without them it will be quite difficult for you to defeat some opponents. Moreover, a lot depends on the player’s level, so if you don’t know your weaknesses, as well as how to strengthen them, then you certainly won’t see any luck, even if you will be driving a machine like the T-34-3. A guide will help you find all the shortcomings of this tank and fix them.
For example, you can change the running gear, because although it is good, it still has room to grow. For example, during the modification you will receive more than a ton of additional load and an increase in the turning speed by three degrees per second. Of course, this is not an incredible gain, but still the little things in the battle can solve everything, especially if you control the T-34. 1 guide can insist on changing the chassis in the first place, 2 guide will tell you that no replacement is needed at all, but the numbers themselves are the best to say. Although there is little progress, it is there, which means that a replacement is needed, albeit not particularly urgent.
Radio station in the tank
It’s very important for a medium tank to have a good radio station in order to inform partners about enemy positions. After all, if you come across a heavy tank, then you are unlikely to be able to cope with it yourself, so you need help. With the original station, the communication range is only 325 meters, while the advanced station gives you an additional 200 meters - a truly impressive improvement for the T-34-2. Guide recommends that you install a radio station as soon as possible, as it will significantly expand your capabilities, and most importantly - the capabilities of your allies.
Advantages of the T-34 tank
Earlier it was written that this machine has both advantages and disadvantages, so it makes no sense to consider it an imbe only because it is known around the world. Guide to the T-34 tank has already shown that some points here are simply bad, some need to be improved, so you have a lot of work to do if you want to succeed.
Many novice players choose this particular tank, as they have heard a lot about it, so its statistics may not be the best. Everyone expects that the machine itself will begin to work wonders, and are surprised when it turns out that the tank still needs to be able to be controlled in order to win battles. But still he has certain advantages, which, however, also need to be able to use.
Firstly, you should pay attention to the speed, maneuverability and dynamics of this tank - for an average vehicle, these figures are very high. It is also worth noting the high turning speed of not only the car, but also the turret, on which you can install various guns, one of which (ZiS-4) can cause a lot of problems for opponents of any type when used correctly. Denying this will be the same as saying that the T-34 is an American tank. Hyde, however, will not ignore the disadvantages of this machine.
Cons T-34
How to start a review of deficiencies? Naturally, with a rather poor view of the tower installed on the tank initially. But this is easily solved by installing a modified version with a significant improvement in this indicator. But the problem with the not-so-thickest layer of armor on all sides of the car is already more difficult to solve - here changing the turret will not help either, so you will need to use the advantages in speed and maneuverability to hide the disadvantages in weak armor.
Battle tactics on the T-34
How to behave on the battlefield when you control a T-34? A guide from Amway921 and other popular game users may offer you a direct attack on the enemy, but this does not always work. The fact is that in close combat you will have to make maximum use of the maneuverability of your car and run away as soon as there are too many enemies - your armor can fail you at any moment. It is better to fight at medium or long distances or attack from an ambush.
