Specifically, the mismatch in crew values caused by commander's 10% crew skill bonus. Outside of a crew of 1 commander only, 100% crew is a fiction. The client values, given for 100% crew, will normally be taken into battle with 110% crew skill members aside from specific functions, causing their actual performance to deviate from the expected client value. These differences are taken into account in tooltip boxes.

T-34 shielded

V

2200

The T-34 shielded is a Soviet tier 5 premium medium tank.

The T-34 shielded was one of the projects to improve armor of the T-34 series tanks. This variant of shielding was developed by engineers of Research Institute-48 and Plant No. 112 under the supervision of I. Burtsev. During the field trials, the armored screen sides were able to withstand fire from 37 mm and 50 mm anti-tank guns, but were penetrated by Armor-Piercing 88 mm and 75 mm shells. All manufactured prototypes were sent to the front and lost in battles.

This tank was given as a reward during the 2018 Battle of Kursk campaign for players who completed at least 30 missions in the 50-mission campaign. It was also available for sale in the Premium Shop.

Player Opinion

Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Good DPM for a 75/76mm-armed medium
• Retains good top speed of T-34
• Spaced armor on hull and turret reduce threat of HEAT shells
• Capable rammer due to speed and weight
• Great shell velocity due to default shell being APCR

Cons:

• Poor view range and turret traverse due to using a modified stock T-34 turret
• Bad gun handling: poor aim time, terrible dispersion, mediocre bloom control
• Noticeably sluggish due to lower HP/T rating and traverses, loses speed in turns
• Default APCR ammo suffers against angled/sloped armor, premium round is underwhelming
• Terrible crew layout (Commander is also Gunner, separate Radioman) matches only the basic T-34

Performance

The T-34 Shielded is a modified version of the basic T-34 and shares many characteristics with its parent tank: a good top speed, thin but sloped armor, and a fairly good gun held back by poorer-than-average gun handling. It is still a versatile and well rounded medium tank, but T-34 drivers used to the fast-firing 57mm ZiS-4 gun will find the T-34 Shielded demands a different set of tactics.

It is best to think of the T-34 Shielded as a combination of three common tier 5 medium tanks: the T-34 (naturally), the M4 Sherman, and the Pz. IV H:

• It has the top speed, armor layout, and ground resistances of a T-34.
• It has the basic traverses, gun handling, and power-to weight ratio of an M4.
• It has the spaced armor, health pool, and DPM of a 75mm-armed Pz. IV H.

Taken all together, this makes the T-34 Shielded into a basic but otherwise reliable tier 5 medium. Taking a little bit of everything from the listed tanks, the T-34 Shielded best serves as a supporting flanker with other tanks. Operate with a partner or platoon and always move in groups. Peeking is a viable tactic for this tank--poke out, take a shot, and back off. The 8 degrees of gun depression, while far from the best, is sufficient to take advantage of low cover or small ridges. It also has enough ammunition to spare for the occasional blind or risky shot.

The 120mm of penetration and 110 alpha damage are acceptable at tier 5, and can penetrate some same-tier heavies frontally. Nonetheless, it is best to get around to the sides of enemies and hit them from the flank. The accuracy of the 76mm F-34 cannon is noticeably poor at .43 dispersion, so while supporting positions are useful, sniping is not advised. This also makes hitting weakspots more of a challenge. Premium ammunition is less useful for offsetting this shortcoming, as the premium shell is also APCR and only gains a 30mm increase in penetration, resulting in a medicore 150mm of penetration.

With regards to equipment loadouts, the low view range hurts the viability of Coated Optics, granting just 34 additional meters of view range to the tank, boosting it to only around the base view range of the M4. It may be better to allow other tanks to spot for you and instead boost its gun handling instead. A gun rammer and improved vents will bring the reload down to 3.38 seconds and the DPM up to 1955. Equipping a gun laying drive lowers the aim time down to 2.05 seconds, which is average but acceptable.

Most players will find that the T-34 Shielded is more survivable but less focused, a jack-of-all-trades tank that is more forgiving of player error but lacking any specific claim to excellence.

Early Research

As a premium tank, the T-34 Shielded is elite in its stock configuration.
