Hello. I've got a fully equiped and elited T-34. It's a tank in which I have a lot of fun ( ), and I don't plan to keep climbing the tech tree on it, but I have a question regarding it's turrets.
The second turret have some improvements over the first, those are:
*Upgraded view range.
*More armor.
*More transverse.
*50 HP more.

The only problem it has is that it's bigger, which means it's easier to hit, something very dangerous in a tank that just can't bite a shell. .
I usually play with the first turret, but I'm trying the second one. My doubt is, does having the second turret give you an improved RpM? If it does give me more shells per minute, I would end up chosing the second turret, but if it doesn't, I'll sell it and get the first one again... Good thing I can use the 57Mm sniper MG with it. .

Thank you all boys. .

The second turret is only marginally bigger than the first, it's not like the size difference between the KV-1 and KV-2 turrets. Believe me, that extra 50hp comes in handy far too many times, and extended view range is a nice bonus too.

Yeah usually you get a RoF increase with turret upgrade. The view range and armor increase is so big that the size increase really shouldn't put you off to use the upgraded turret anyways. 35 more armor and 114 meters of view rage is HUGE lol.

Yep, that view range improvement is very useful.
I do like the look of the stock turret better but the combat advantages of the upgrade means you gotta use it.

True, the upgraded turret is ugly...

On the other hand, when armed with the 57 Zis gun and a well trained crew this tank can effectively machinegun the opposition into oblivion. Got 5 kills on Komarin once by just shooting at guys trying to cap our base.

Thank you to all who posted. I guess the second turret will be the chosen one for now on. .
And yes, the stock turret is better looking too. Have you noticed that it's angles seem better thought too? .
So well, thank you all. We may find eachother in the battlefield some day. .
PS: +1 rep. for all of you. .

Just adding my 2 cents, nothing really new.

The viewrange boost alone is well worth  the 2nd turret.  Along with the extra 50 HP; I can't count the number of times I've soldiered on and done more damage and maybe an extra kill or two with less than 50HP remaining; with stock turret, woulda been dead.

Not to mention...you do need the 2nd turret for the 76mm S-54.  Almost all T-34 aficionados (myself included) prefer the 57mm zis-4, with good reason.  But the S-54 is also a pretty good gun...and as one gets closer to obtaining T-34-85, my thought is it may not be a bad idea to use it, to get accustomed to a more "conventional" slower-firing/higher-alpha main armament.

I must agree gentlemen, the stock turret is way better looking! But I have to reliterate that the ROF goes from 17 to 26 in the upgraded turret! That`s 9 points! 50% bonus! Buy now! Fire more! With deals like these, who needs conventional guns?

In a peek-a-boo fight, higher alpha is better as long as the reload is still within reason. Other than that, DpM is king.
