Just got out of a battle with 4 other T34's on my team and we got hammered.  Our load rate was way to slow, our aim time was way too slow, our speed and manuverabilty was way to slow.

With the 120mm and its higher Aplha damage and pen we should have been able to rip the other team apart with 5 of us, however all of us noticed that the other team was firing 2 times for every 1 of ours...they were able to fire and duck back behind cover before we could pull the trigger due to aim time.  We missed a lot of shots when we did pull the trigger.

This tank is just JUNK.  I have a 51% win rate and I have seen another post like this by a guy who had a 56% win rate.  My current win rate with this T34 shit tank is 33%.  I have noticed that a team with more that 1 T34 on it has a real hard time winning...any time I am on a team and paired up with another T34 we almost always lose.

Here is a request...by now since the release of 7.2 we should have enough data to use to see where the T34 stands.  Can one of you SERVER side analytical folks do an analysis for the rest of the community.  I would like to see if my intuition is on point.  I would like to see where the win rate sits for the T34 right now vs the rest of the Premium tanks as well as in general against all its Tier 8 counter parts!!!

If I sell this tank will I get 12,000 gold back?  I would rather have a Lowe and/or the gold...I dont need a SUB 30% win rate tank no matter how much money it makes per game.

Response: Yea I know I make Hell loads more money in it than the Lowe and I paid for the Lowe I got the T34 free xD

Cheer up!

If you sell it, you only get silver. So don't sell it. However much it sucks, it does pay itself off.

But don't worry, I agree that one thing too many isn't right on this tank. In my case, it's that aim time. If that were fixed up to make the tank actually responsive, the rest wouldn't bother me or I'd learn to live with it.

As it is, I've seen livelier T95s.

they should nerf t34 gun to 105mm to make it fair for all tier8 beacuse tier8 have 105mm and 122mm but t34 has twice the damage of other tier8 guns so this is not funny nerf gun  and rate o fire is pretty good too tiger2 105mm has 5.67 rot and t34 has 4.60 not a big difference.

Go to another game really.........





T34 reload rate with crew 100%+ add vents (hey look equip sale this weekend} and rammer (this weekend again) is around 12 seconds or so. A lowe with the same gear is around 10 so please dont act like it has a 30 second reload rate or something. While its alot slower then it had been previous to 7.2 it is in line with all the other t8's

Yeah coming from a guy who has the M103 and the T110 but yet has never played a single game in the T34...

My overall stats (just an average bum)
83 battles, 51% win, 71% hit (take more risky shots than I should especially with the reload time), 8 max kills, 464 average xp (non premium)

I submit to you several of my recent battles...

I'd have some more to show you but my game client crashes from time to time and I am not digging through all the replays.

but all in all it isn't an awful tank... it's an average tank that takes a lot of effort to get to succeed

Those who are good in driving this tank has had a lot of experience driving ex-T34, I would say. In addition to that, you need to train your crew and put necessary equipment to offset the nerf. This tank isn't right now to play like IS3 or T32, needs smart playing. Many players who have good success has highly trained crews. So if you simply buy it not free, or didn't play T34 before or didn't adopt the new play style; you would fail miserably.

I have currently 57% win rate and increasing.

AND T34 ISNT OP!

AND IT WAS FREE OMG WUT!!!!!!!!!

I won't disagree it can do amazingly well, I just submit that it's not a fun tank to drive.

T34 seems pretty deadly to me.

Please sell your T34, I want to see less of them.

PS.. Op has 18 battles in the t34 so he is obviously the outstanding expert on the t34 and how it is played.




My 5 year old has more games then that in some of my tanks. (she likes god mode with arty so look out)

T34 isn't as bad as I thought it would be and when played to it's strengths can be deadly. I've gone against IS4s and won you just need to be patient in this tank.

You've got to adjust mentally to how long it takes to reload.
When it does, make it count.
It is sweet seeing those high rolls off pretty consistent pen floating above the enemy.

Fighting against people that know what they are doing is definitely a pain.
Fighting against people that aren't sure of themselves you can make up for the reload time via pyschological warfare

Reload time vs a  Lowe is under 2 second difference once equipped and crew trained SO not too much adjustment needed.

Love mine, suits me well, enjoy its glass-cannon nature. View range is my only gripe, but I can live with it. Second would be accuracy. Aim time doesn't bother me at all.

I find the aim time is the main drawback of this tank, reload i can live with. So equipment was savior on aim time for me.
