?Great mobility, poor armour, lacklustre penetration and a 76mm gun putting out about 110 damage at 18.18 rpm and 2.3 seconds aim time. All these should scream "[[M4A3E8 Sherman]]" to the experienced player and in many ways, this is what this Soviet medium is. Featuring a better silhouette than its American counterpart but limited gun depression, drivers should strive for more active flanking encounters, as they cannot rely on their gun depression and/or mantlet like the Easy Eight can. Go for enemy heavies/TDs and make them spin helplessly as the 76mm makes short work of their health. While players used to the T-34 version of the 76mm may be turned off, the penetration of the gun was buffed in patch 8.8 and the good RoF with the 2nd turret makes it the better choice than the 57mm here.+

?* The good news is that this tank does not have that much to grind. All the guns and top radio carry over from the T-34.+
?* Engine can be researched from the T-150, KV-2 and KV-3. If you don't have it, start with this - you need the agility!+
?* Next comes the suspension for even more agility.+
?* Finally, mount the turret for a HP, view range and an RoF buff.+

?|History=+
?In January 1941 the A43 project, a modernised variant of the T34, (also known under designation T34M) was proposed, with the production of the first two prototypes planned for March 1941. Proposed, that the new tank will be superior to production T34, that this superiority played a negative role in its fate. The Christie suspension was replaced by torsion bar suspension, which resulted in the ground clearance of the T34M being increased by an additional 50mm. In May 1941 the factory had produced 50 pressed turrets for the T34M. In April 1941 there were three hulls ready. But the used V5 diesel were not ready, so final assembly of the T34M was delayed, and during the war, it was abandoned completely. In 1942, the factory in Kulebakskaya produced sixtytwo cast turrets for the T34M. These new style turrets were used on T34 standard hulls. All tanks were used on East front.+
