What on earth would posses Knuckleheaded Devs to Remove the 100mm from the T-43, but keep them in uneven battles in matchmaker?   I don't know what game they were playing but 85mm is just noise in matches with  T29s and panthers...Im just happy i only got 13k to go before im in the T-44. This tank was tolerable (already had issues) but now its  proverbial "dookie-on a stick"  And I want to steer clear of it.

What about the upgraded engine? Does it do much more?

Oh, look. Someone hasn't read the patch notes.

The 100mm was removed because the MM tier spread has been tightened and the T-43 will not face such big enemies as often anymore.

Playing it on a friends account, I like it a lot more than what it once was (although this was in beta...). It's fairly zippy now and the 85mm buffs make it a pretty good gun.

the gun is awful....it really is.  No getting around it.   Beyond the puff of smoke you wouldnt even know you had a cannon.   even viewports  are immune.

What game are you playing. I just had 5 matches with T29s and IS-8s.   Bull***    we wont face such enimies....    Instead of posting trying playing the actual game.  You'll see the dirffernece between just patch notes and  how it actaully affects gameplay.

T29 is tier 7, T-43 is tier 7. Same tier. IS-8 is tier 9, T-43 is tier 7. Two tier spread. Guess what? Exactly as in the patch notes!

now that you can read.   Try  and apply  common sense on what the hell a 85mm gun is supposed to do with such unbalance?  


Nothing.    pure and simple.

The T-34/85 with the 85mm is ok, but the T-43 needs a bigger punch.  The new engine hasn't helped it all that much.  Two many of the tanks at those tiers now blur into the same general capability.  The T-43 plays more like a Sherman/T-20 now.  I miss the big punch of the 100mm for sure on the T-43.  KV-13 is slightly better with the new 85mm though.

Why are you taking out your anger at me? I'm informing you of facts. You're slinging opinions at me.

im not impressed with this game at all... first you take my 100mm dont leave it in my depot you just %^&%^#$ take it from me ... you dont comp what so ever.. then you raise the fucking price of the t-44 !!.... wow guys what an AWSOME GAME

your Sh**ing me.  the price is raised on it now?  2mil wasnt enough? it jumps from 700k  on T-43 to 2mil for T-44...its more now?

Tier 8s all cost 2 mil...

its 2.375 insted on 2.89

Dispersion nerf on KV-13 makes life quite hard for that tank.
Slight aim tweak = big re-aim.
Mobility nerf I'm not so worried about.

Sold at purchase cost if you'd bothered to read the patch notes.

I agree with you, the T-43 should have kept the 100mm in some form. It was a good progression - t-85 with 85mm, T-43 with 100mmm to T44 with a better 100mm.  The T43 is a very lackluster tank with 100mm, and hardly anyone keeps one to play , after they get T44. Now there's even less reason to keep it. Oh well i'll have the T44 soon anyway.

Yea I had fun with the T-43-100. I got T-44 before the patch, but 100mm D10T becomes your best friend after having so many memories. Firepower/penetration was often compensated for the 34-85/43's bad armor and somewhat sluggish(compared to the others) movement. Haha I remember all the times my crew/modules got shot by other tanks so easily. Especially the fires......I still love that matchbox

P.S: Kind of glad they make u go through the 85 D5T-85BM now because without it, grind is terrible....30k XP for tracks and turret needed before best friend 100mm D10T!

I like the new set up for it, it's very nice to play.

Wait, what buffs did the 85mm get?

Aim time decreased from 2.9 to 2.3 and a damage increase to 180 from 165.

The 85mm got buffed and is a lot better than it was before, I wasn't planning on buying the t-43 anytime soon, but now it might be worth it.

Sorry that you want a tier 7 tank in a game lower than tier 7, that's really smart. Okay IS-8s... it's not a IS-7 right? so be happy you'll never see them again in that tank. Avoid the IS-8 if you hate it that much.. but don't expect to be put in a game full of loltraktors...
