T34 is a freaking Joke

They only need to fix the gun's aiming time, it's HUGE. I can live with the stupid turret traverse speed.

when you drive big guns all the time, 12 seconds aint shit. get some patience or dont play the tank, what does this complaining accomplish other than garnering attention?

With equipment, the T34 fires faster than my IS-4 gun. By like .2. Anyone who plays heavy tanks with big guns, learns to shoot accurately and patiently. If that's not your alley you can always go medium.

ok? why is he being neg'ed, this is obviously sarcastic?
When I pointed out the good sides of T34 Prem in a recent pre-7.2 thread I got loads of negative rep for it & only a few posters who agreed.
Now a load of people seem to be understanding what I was suggesting back then -> sarcastic.
Also that damn 248mm pen gun is a problem for my KV5 since they don't need to hit the R2D2 to hurt me.
Heck, its still a problem for IS4 too.
I want less of that gun around to enable my KV5 to be more profitable -> serious.

Yup, they got choked trying to go up hill after i killed a few lead tanks to block the passage and used their wrecks to go hull down.. they got into a frontal shootout vs a hull-down T34, the last one was so furious he tried to push the wrecks to get to me.. didn't work.

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.
how much money it makes per game.

I'm finding those who played it before the patch have accepted it for what it is and know it's strengths and weaknesses. Those who have bought it complain. No matter what I suck at it but it's a good credit farmer.

Run around long enough in US mediums and heavies grinding with decent 90 mm or 105 mm ..but out classed by others ..
Jump in T34 ..its same style except for T32 ..Shoot a Tigerp -E75 -IS3-4-7 ..etc ..in the front for the first time ON PURPOSE ..get penetration and damage ..
Note to self ..wow that was sorta cool ..lets do it again ..
Then match ends ..you see 60k credits and up ...
Wow this is cool ..lets do this more often.
Whats not to like if you need to grind a tier eight premy?
Aside from a Lowe its a credit magnet.
If you play with the team you make credits almost every hit you land.
..
Whats wrong with that?

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

Your stats for top five most driven tanks:
Type59 - 1090
KV - 459
Lowe - 452
IS3 - 433
IS4 - 383
Why is it that every time I see a post telling me how great the T34 is, when I check that players profile I find them driving the very tanks most likely to be encountered by the T34 (i.e. its main rivals). If the T34 is such a great tank, why don't you drive it?

Why is it that every time I see a post telling me how useless the T34 is, when I check that players profile I find them having never driven the very tanks most likely to encounter T34 (i.e. its main rivals).
If the T34 is such a terrible tank, why don't you
SELL it! SELL it! SELL it!?

Cool story, do me next, do me next! Whats that? My 6th most played tank is a m103? Funny, the t34's stats rolled over to the m103 and I haven't played that many games in it post patch. And I do say the t34 is a good tier 8 tank.

Incredibly boring tank to drive. It is capable of doing work, but it doesn't have the potential that some tanks have to dominate. With the new skills that allow my Lowe to be much more maneuverable, I find the T34 to be sub-par to the Lowe in every way.
Armor?
Lowe is much better. The Lowe's gun mantlet is invincible. I've taken a direct hit from a T92 to the gun mantlet and absorbed all the damage for no loss of HP. The mantlet is also huge meaning the turret is more bouncy from a distance than the T34. Up close, the T34's turret might be better, especially against lower penetration guns. The Lowe's hull is much better at bouncing shots.
Gun?
T34's gun is much worse. Only 80 more alpha - and the gun rolls low more often than not. And WAY less accuracy and MUCH more dispersion. Also slower reload.

The T34 mysteriously also has much less view range as well...

T34 is a new tank now. i have 6 games in it. liked it's alpha at Tier 8. I would choose T34 over Lowe, despite the ROF.

Awww, you don't wike da widdo tank you bought because you wanted to own V-VII's 75% of your matches without having to tier-up? I'm playing my violin for you ... really ... honestly ...

I don't know why but I have 164 games in the new T34 and 58% wins so far. In the old T34 I had over 400 games and 53% so it seems like this new one at tier 8 is easier for me to win in! It makes loads of cash and the gun lets you compete with tier 9s. Love it. My T59 is going to get a little less exercise now.
OP there's good advice in this thread. If you do those things and are still having trouble then may it's not the tank for you. It's a good tank though. GL HF.

First off,the T-34 shouldnt even be classified as a heavy tank.About the only way to play this tank is to use it as a sniper because of the gun.The armor is worse than a joke.Now that said,why would I want to use a T-34 to TD,when I get better performance out of the the T-30.I do make money on it,but armor needs to be at least as good as a lowe,and BTW it appears the lowe has had a nerf.I got my motor blasted out in at least half my battlels today and didnt see this happening before maintainance.Others I asked said they noticed the Lowe seems to be different and are also experiencing motor knock out problems that are off the wall bad.The only heavy tank that made the american patch worth while was the T-110.The T-103 stinks and is being sold sold as much or more than its being kept from people I have talked to. I sold mine too.No room for such a lousy tier 9 in my garage.No one wants to play the worst tier nine in the game.

All the Arguments might be moot, IF the T34 was afforded the same special Match Making the Lowe, Type 59 are allowed. Right now this tank is in with the Standard TierVIII Heavy tank MMing.
