I've been killed in it from the front by a marder 3, it is beatable.

E: In the video I just posted, a panzer 4h pens my front armour straight up.

Every tank that can take out a vanilla T-34 from the front can take out a T-34E from the front, that includes all PzKpfw IV, even the ones with the stubby L/24 guns. You all get saved by pubbies beeing pubbies and hammering into the reinforced sides and turret instead of just salmming right into the front hull and blowing it up. Or going for the 'driver hatch' weakpoint, which is not one on any later T-34, but actually one of the tougher parts of the front.

The driver hatch has serious ablative qualities on the t34e. Turret ring and turret are actually the most easy spots to hurt them.

Yes, the driver hatch is solid 75mm on all later T-34, the turret can be tricky for L/24 armed Pz IV because of the extra spacing unless you hit the mantlet, the rest of the front is easy to pen... and if you actually have a L/42 armed Pz IV you can punch holes into a T-34 from any direction anyway.

Lot of Russian groundforce players tonight. Every match Germany and the US were paired up. How long until Russia vs. Russia rounds? :commissar:

And then what? Ground Forces Apocalypse!

I'm tired of following my dreams, I'm just gonna ask where they're goin' and meet up with 'em there.

So I was in second place for more than half of one of the Po-2 races, I passed the guy who'd been in first all that time on a turn, and then shot him down within 20 checkpoints of the end of the race, out of 132. He was a little irritated.


Seriously though what language is that, I don't recognize it. I thought Russian maybe but google gives me nothing.

It's been twenty minutes and he's still sending me messages. It's wonderful.

Gomik apparently means "homosexual" in Russian.

E: Pidarac is also apparently a misspelling of the Russian word for fag

The SU-122P is also great but with 6.7BR being what it is right now, it may not be the best investment.

I don't remember this changing, but the SU-122P is at 6.3 right now, should pair pretty nicely with a T-34-100.

You have to angle the T-34E aggressively (30-45 degrees). That will make the front autobounce and the sides will soak up ridiculous amount of bullshit.

That together makes it exceptionally hard to kill.

Bottom right of the vehicle menu is a bit where you can choose between arcade/realistic/simulator stats.

They might refund it for you, they have for me before.

Nah, I've had the SU-122P since long before the sale because I hate money. Yet somehow I've never noticed or forgot about the stat toggles, thanks!

Ha just spaded my T-54/1951 by unlocking the APDS and getting the remaining 3 from one of those achievement crates, that was pretty funny. 79k RP towards the SU-122-54 just from filling out module tiers.

On the T-34-100, is it ever worth using the APBC shells over APHE? The penetrations seem nigh-identical, is the explosive part any different?

It's an absolute blast either way, tanks are way more fun when you don't have to unlock poo poo.

Arcade tooltip but this is funnier, god drat what the gently caress. It adds 370 HP in RB as well so it's loving huge there too.

v Yes I doubt it's adding an entire engine's worth of horsepower but compared to any of the other 150 octane tooltips it's just so giant and funny.

So the T-34-100 is worth the price? The tank looked nice and Russia is the tank tree I've progressed the least in so it would definitely help with catch-up.
