T34 a few Changes i.e Turret shape?

Great game may I say,

Me and my mates where playing and we thought the T 34, the most iconic unit in this game, still didnt look quite right, and we know u guys took alot of time and effort on this already, but it would just be great if you could finnish it off with some extra touches.

This is an example, i mean the model is close, just not 100% there yet. It says vietneese, but its originally russian, and doesnt look quite like the ingame.

We think:

-Turret is the wrong shape, according to lots of pictures, including this one, is more rounded, not squared off like in game, is that possible to change? its  also a little to small.

- The gun doesnt change size after upgrade, it should get bigger, and longer.

- The back seems really flat, could it not have more detail, in the actual model not skin. Around the fuel tanks especially. the logs in the pic look cool, maybe add them? strapped on. And the back also seems shorter in the pics, maybe just the turret wrong size.

- Can it cost abit less fuel maybe 60, its not that good for what it costs atm, equivalent to panzer IV in costs, but not anywhere near its strenght, although i like its speed, it was a fast tank :D

As i said, it is the most iconic unit in this game, and alot of us always go for the T34, gotta be the most used unit, and probably one of the worst looking (sorry, my opinion), seeing as it was one of the first you made wasnt it?

what do u lot think?, thanks

It should be much better vs infantry in the first place to be honest.

just a couple of questions:

you know perhaps, that there were various T34 types during the war?
you know the differences between T34/76 and T34/85, dont you ?
Then you may have noticed, that the tank you can produce from scratch is the T34/76 1943 variant ?



The tank you show, is the T34/85 , which is available AFTER the upgrade, and only for NEW produced units . Have you noticed that ?



You do ? Ok, then.

We know the 85mm turret is smaller than it should be. The 85mm turret is the size it is because the tank is a model mix, the chassis was resized to fit on Cromwell tracks, this means the T-34 in game is slightly smaller than irl, so a turret modelled off blueprints isn't going to match up exactly, so the turret had to be resized also. It would have been possible to resize the 85mm turret but we we're aiming for the initial release so we left it until after. I'm looking into the models, see how they can be improved.

Also, T-34/85 upgrade only works on Tanks built AFTER you have upgraded, it is not global.

i think  after upgrade (300 amun) tank must have tiger tank attack cause t 34 85mm - murder of the tanks in game 1 85 t34 can't kill panther  tank panther tank still rocks in the game!!!! say nothing about another armour like su 100 for example tank destroyer gonna be kewl if su 100 like jagdpanther tank. Is it possible????
P/s or upgrade costs 300 amun is totally useless

how u can explain - after munition 300 upgrade T34 with 85 mm turret tank statistics not changes ??? i mean exactly anti tank attack (T34 76 in mod have 5 points antitank attack and after this upgrade no changes at all 5 also) its a bug or not???

Yes Devs, i was just pointing out the obvious im sorry, and we apretiat its hard to make a mod like this work and stuff. Jusst thought it was worth bringing up, and looking into :p

Good work.

If we are tallking here about T-34, is possible to made for it broader tracks, like IS-2 has, or it is problem with that Cromwell and it is impossible.
