Regarding the T 34 (1942), it is very similar to the 1941 (even the Germans almost did not distinguish between the t34B and t34C) but it varies in its hull (it no longer has the hull of the 1940 and 1941) and maintains the turret of the 1941 but with a little more frontal armor. It only has one headlight on the left side of the hull (on the front or on the side).
The T 34 (1943), I know that for many this is 1942 (and I understand it since its production began in 1942) but it also accept “T-34 (1943)”, I don’t care if it is version D ("Mickey Mouse ") or E (new commander’s cupola).
The KV1 (1941) has a new turret with more armor and a new cannon, the ZiS-5.
I have not included the KV1 (1942) because it is the same as the 1941 but with much more armor on the turret (and I think it is already too much for BR III). So I have opted for another version of this, the KV-1S (1942).
The KV85 with the new D-5T cannon, I have put it so that people can use a KV in BR IV/BRV.
All KVs can have armor plates added to the front of the hull, but only the KV-1E and the KV(1941) have it in the ones I have included.
T-34 STZ is already in the game, it was a special reward for the players who have bought Stalingrad full-access pack.
T-34 1942 with extra armour plates is questionable addition since DF probably doesn’t want to give a progression tank similar to STZ so quickly after the merge.
KV-1S, KV-85 and KV-2 which is already in game editor could be added to BR4 but Im not sure that there would be a point for that.
Most people own T-34-85 (dt-5) due to it being a starter tank in Berlin so none of these tanks except for the KV-85 would be an improvement and then again these tanks would just increase the grind length needed to research IS-2 or IS-1.
I think variety is always good.
Increasing the grind I don’t think matters, you just have to see how much you have to grind to get a tiger.
Also I have only added 3 slots, most of them are filed on top of other tanks.
If those vehicles are indeed foldered than yeah its fine but if not then it will just become more pain to suffer through.
But if DF decided to add them, than these tanks would most likely get added as seperate items to increase grind, if you don’t believe than ask others who have been playing for longer.
Seriously, I really hated unlocking some of the German tanks such as Pz IV E because I already have Panzer III N which has same BR but superior to 4E in all aspects.
The 57mm T-34 would be great. A gold order version being that “White 20” T-34-57 would be another neat addition. It’s not a repeat of the 76mm T-34s we already have, but rather it provides some extra AT firepower for uparmored Panzer 4s and 3s, so I can see it being the more likely addition rather than another T-34-76.
