Some feedback

Great job on the Ostheer devs. A bit complicated and I still haven't figured out all the veterancy intricacies, but at least it shows great effort and desire to break up the teching linearity we had been introduced to with the release of OF.

As to the Red army changes, I am bit puzzled by the T-34 upgradability... 34/85 is a different chassis. Why remove the 34/76 option? Why add this silly munitions upgrade option? I think the tank hall necessitated no changes whatsoever.

Thanks again.

T34/85 chassis is not that different from the T34/76, because the former just was an upgraded chassis from the latter and not a whole new chassis.

You should not be puzzled with the upgrade, because older T34/76s were upgraded to T34/85 and after the latter started to be produced, the former was no longer produced and they started replacing them.

T34/85 only had it's ring enlarged to accept the 85mm turret, most other modifications to the hull were superficial. There were alot of T34/76's remanufactured to accept 85mm turrets.

Does it get an armor/health buff as well then?

I believe T34/85 have buffs on health and damage but should have no difference in armor stats. And perhaps higher upkeep too.

No, hitpoints are the same. It gets a different gun and a slightly increased chance to deflect enemy shots.
