The Type T-34 is a Chinese tier 5 medium tank.
Among the 1,800 T-34 tanks supplied by the U.S.S.R. to China in the early 1950s, there was a number of T-34-76s. The usefulness of these tanks was extended by Chinese-designed upgrades, including a new engine and modernized suspension.
Technically fake, but it can be assumed to be a licensed copy of the T-34. With less research options than its Russian counterpart, it may not offer any new elements to those who have driven the Russian tank previously, but for new players or players who haven't played the T-34, the Type T-34 offers a versatile platform with a fast & accurate gun (a copy of the ZiS-4) fit for all roles, be either flanking, sniping and even brawling. Keep in mind that your 45mm armor, despite being well sloped, can still be penetrated often, so you should make up with maneuverability for fast-paced tactics instead of a static role, especially when facing large calibre artillery fire.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- See T-34 for more detail; only differences are listed here.
- High ammo capacity; barely runs dry even with its great RoF
- Easier grind: no brutal stock gun, more mobile with stock tracks and less research to eilte
- Somewhat better agility, turns quicker
Cons:
- Poor gun depression, 3° worse than its Soviet counterpart, which has 8°
- A little bit less mobility, despite barely tellable
Performance
The Type T-34 has very thin armor so it gets easily destroyed if caught traveling alone. Move with a group to support allies and do not rush into battle if you want to do well in this tank. The armor is well sloped but it does not actually help as much as one would expect, as the armor is not much thicker than the M5A1 light tank. The turret is also very susceptible to damage due to its huge turret ring and cupola, so going hull-down won't be very beneficial. You will generally be up against higher or same tier tanks which will penetrate your armor like butter all the same, so play this tank with caution and use your surroundings so the enemy does not focus on your tank.
When you are playing on a map that features urban warfare, you could try flanking when opponents are distracted by your teammates. But you have to be careful, because when someone starts to notice you, you have to retreat fast.
The tank has a good top speed but it hardly reaches it unless going downhill. It does not have the best maneuverability so do not try circling around enemies. The speed is good enough to weave in and out of cover, so when facing a higher tier enemy, poking around cover might leave your enemies without a straight shot.
After the Type T-34 becomes fully upgraded, its gun can tear enemies apart. Its fast rate of fire and decent penetration can easily take out enemies if you hit the right spots. The rate of fire will usually allow you to get two or more shots off in the time it takes the enemy to fire one so use this to your advantage. Expect it to win face-offs against tanks of the same tier armed with derp guns, as long as your health pool can afford to take a shot first. The aim time is actually longer than reloading takes, so one will have to sacrifice some DPM to fully utilize its great accuracy. While sharing the best accuracy of mediums in tier, comparable to TDs, the regular AP penetration is exactly sufficient; it can go through a surprised KV-1's side armor with ease, but not if it comes angled. To compensate for that, it has insanely powerful premium APCR shots, capable of penetrating even some of the best protected vehicles in its battle tier, head-on; just remember that APCR tends to lose more penetration over long distance, so it's not that guaranteed to always penetrate when sniping.
- Buffs are planned for the Type T-34:
(57mm) Reload from 2.3 to 2.0 Gun handling from 0.26/0.24/0.14 -> 0.24/0.22/0.1
Early Research
- First, research the suspension for better traverse speed and max weight
- Research the Type T-34M turret and then the 57 mm gun for better RoF and penetration
- Go from there.
