I decided to do a breakdown and analysis of the T34 vs the other tier 8 heavy premiums to see how it's going to stack up. I used the listed stats for the T34 and since I don't own the other premiums went off what the wiki said their stats were.T34: 1500Lowe: 1650KV-5: 1680M6A2E1: 1500vs avg other 3: -110Where it ranks: 3rd(t)Comments: Tied for the fewest hit points with the M6A2E1. Has 150 and 180 less than Lowe and KV-5. Respectable.T34: 279/127/103Lowe: 120/80/80KV-5: 180/150/140M6A2E1: 191/89/208vs avg other 3: 115/20/-40Where it ranks: 1st/2nd/2ndComments: Easily strongest front turret (ignoring no weak spots on M6), decent side and rear turret.T34: 102/76/51Lowe: 120/80/80KV-5: 170/150/90M6A2E1: 191/44/41vs avg other 3: -58/-15/-19Where it ranks: 4th/3rd/3rdComments: Weakest frontal armor easily. Better then M6 side and rear but still not good.- It's all about the hull down (always has been). It falls well short in any other situation, so nothing has changed here. In straight up fight we lose, period. Loss of 400 HP just means we get killed in 5 shots instead of 6, otherwise there's no change here.__________________________________________________________________________________________________T34: 11.27Lowe: 8.01KV-5: 11.42M6A2E1: 13.61vs avg other 3: +0.26Where it ranks: 3rdComments: Respectable acceleration, less than M6A2E1, equal to KV-5, more than Lowe.T34: 35Lowe: 35KV-5: 40M6A2E1: 29vs avg other 3: +0.33Where it ranks: 2ndComments: Average max speed, it's fine.T34: 24Lowe: 24KV-5: 18M6A2E1: 24vs avg other 3: +2 d/sWhere it ranks: 1st(t)Comments: As good as any. No complaints here.T34: 18Lowe: 26KV-5: 22M6A2E1: 26vs avg other 3: -6.66 d/sWhere it ranks: 4thComments: Terrible turret traverse. Is this a heavy or a TD?- Good speed and turn compared to others. Only part that is terrible is turret traverse. Can we say circle strafed to death? Can get to hull down points against heavies, but mediums have become more dangerous to us. I'm going to be doing a lot of screaming at French lights as they track and circle me.__________________________________________________________________________________________________T34: 360Lowe: 460KV-5: 400M6A2E1: 430vs avg other 3: -70Where it ranks: 4thComments: Laughable view range, do any high tier tanks have this bad?T34: 745Lowe: 810KV-5: 500M6A2E1: 650vs avg other 3: +91Where it ranks: 2ndComments: Good radio range.- Horrible view range, decent radio range. I'd rather have the view range. Good thing we can handle circle strafe, because we're not gonna know until they're on us. (note the sarcasm there)__________________________________________________________________________________________________T34: 400/400/515Lowe: 320/320/420KV-5: 300/300/360M6A2E1: 320/320/420vs avg other 3: 86/86/115Where it ranks: 1st/1st/1stComments: Where it shines vs other premium heavies, high alpha.T34: 4.14Lowe: 5.71KV-5: 8.0M6A2E1: 5.77vs avg other 3: -2.35Where it ranks: 4thComments: Tier 9 damage/penetration + tier 10 rate of fire = tier 8 gun. Makes perfect sense.T34: 1656/1656/2132Lowe: 1827/1827/2398.2KV-5: 2400/2400/2880M6A2E1: 1846/1846/2423vs avg other 3: -368/-368/-435Where it ranks: 4th/4th/4thComments: Lowest of the bunch. DPS is inverse to penetration for the tanks.T34: 248/297/60Lowe: 234/294/60KV-5: 167/219/54M6A2E1: 198/245/53vs avg other 3: 48/44/4.3Where it ranks: 1st/1st/1stComments: Where it shines vs other premium heavies. Very high penetration. Lowe catches up on gold rounds, but who uses gold on premium tanks?T34: 0.35Lowe: 0.29KV-5: 0.38M6A2E1: 0.37vs avg other 3: +0.003Where it ranks: 2ndComments: Average accuracy, only bested by Lowe.T34: 3.4Lowe: 2.5KV-5: 2.5M6A2E1: 2.0vs avg other 3: +1.06sWhere it ranks: 4thComments: Is this a joke? What kind of aim time is this for a tank? It can't be because of the slow reload, the tier 10s are all way better than this with slower reload.- Greath alpha and penetration (when did we become russian?), bad rate of fire and dpm. Average accuracy and horrible aim time. We'd do the worst against low armored tanks (due to low dpm), but best against high armored tanks. Better be close to peekaboo with that aim time or we won't hit anything.__________________________________________________________________________________________________It's good enough, though not the best premium heavy. It's fine in all categories except turret traverse (needs slight buff), view range (needs decent buff) and aim time (needs large buff). A very slight boost to dpm (through rof) would also be nice, though not really necessary. We can put the hurting on stuff higher then us, but with slow dpm can be overrun pretty easily. Even less of a solo tank then before, which was expected.
