During ww2 some of the t34 tanks were built with not very much quality control. For example:
This armour cracked after a non penetration hit.
Although armour cracking and spalling might be too hard to simulate in Enlisted, I think these poorly made t34s would be nice to see in game.
I suggest:
•Add a “low grade t34” into the Soviet tech tree that has a lower effective armour (no shattering mechanic just lower thickness to represent inability to protect crew)
Or
•simulate armour spalling and make it so that when the low grade t34 gets hit the crew near the impact get shredded by shrapnel
•also the model of the tank should show worse welding marks and overall lack of quality
•if the armour was properly ineffective I’d put it at br2 as itd be a glass cannon however if the armour can’t be simulated correctly it’d put it at br3 and just make it a reskin of the standard t34.
Kinda liked the early war setting the campain systems gave us back in the days - Panzer IV F2 vs early T34 is kinda iconic, while now we jump from iconic early war BR1 tanks straight to 1944 vehicles (Panzer III N, Panzer IV H,J , Puma and such)
I didn’t knew it was on enlisted, but the issue still stands, the soviets have several gaps, in their armor tree and are quite lacking in variety, so they should add that tank or the SU-76M to the progression line in order to fill it with historically accurate vehicles.
or at least the could buff back the frontal plate of the T50 to place it more in line with the last last tanks of BR-2.
the Su-76M might be a good shout for the tech tree, its criminal such a famous vehicle isnt in it already.
As for the T-50, I think its good as is, though it would be nice if it and the BT’s got the commander slot moved to slot once, but I only say that since my number 3 key is broken and I cant use the slot on slot 3.
I mind the J less than the N, the N is an abomination that should get a better HEAT round and go up to BR3 where it belongs, then bring down the Stug 3 to BR2 since its literally useless to bring it atm. Man I just think it sucks that the Pz4 E gets forgotten because for some reason its foldered behind the Pz3 N despite it being a straight downgrade.
heck, I bring my Panzer III N even into BR5 matches, where you die super fast to AT weapons anyways, and armor doesnt matter unless fighting other vehicles.
being small, driving faster and having an insanely good HE gun plus top MG, you can be much better at supporting your team AS LONG AS you avoid enemy tanks.
IF Panzer III N had the type C HEAT round, it would get 100mm of pen, thats enought to fight off T34 85 and Sherman 76.
Panzer III N with its side skirts was more of a late war vehicle anyways, I am rather sure that Germany only started using side skirts in 1943, which is after Stalingrad was already lost. It fits much much better into BR3 if not BR4 from a time period perspective.
