After adding APCR shell to 76mm gun Sherman tanks. Adding APCR to Soviet tanks is reasonable. Because it’s fair and they all have the opportunity to confront BR5 German tanks.

Soviet APCR is terrible…
17 pounder sub caliber has
275mm penetration with 38mm thick tungsten core weighing 1.74kg at 1204m/s
85mm sub Caliber has 27.95mm thick tungsten core weighing only 0.65kg because the penetrating core is super small and only has 1030m/s muzzle velocity.
Using 17 pdr as reference… the penetration calculator gives 85mm APCR only 151mm penetration at point blank range. The source claims 130mm @ 1000m penetration. It’s Feable performance.

The Chinese actually did make 85mm APDS rounds for their T-34-85’s but this was post war
The design itself is still 1st generation, same design as ww2 APDS rounds
It has 292mm @ 0m which would make it a slightly bit better APDS round than 17 pounder APDS.
85mm Type 1956 APDS
Projectile mass: 2.68kg
Projectile length: 182mm
Diameter: 50mm
Tungsten core length: 147mm
Tungsten core diameter: 35mm
Tungsten core mass: 1.75kg
Tungsten core material: Tungsten Carbide
Muzzle velocity: 1170m/s

Giving Soviets post war Chinese shells would be weird.
Giving Soviets post war MGs and jets is also weird, but here we are
Just because it has happened, we shouldnt accept it.
We must fight to keep our game WW2.
Okm how about instead of APCR…
