Performance

• The T-34-2 can be considered a very unique tank. It has many many weaknesses and can be extremely difficult to adapt to but boasts alpha damage greater than that of many same-tier heavies, premium HEAT rounds with tremendously improved penetration, a compact size, and a very tough turret. The T-34-2 has very low DPM and thus cannot fight enemies head on effectively. Even while flanking, the poor on-the-move accuracy and very low rate of fire make engagements difficult. The biggest strengths of the T-34-2 are its peek-a-boom capabilities and good camo value. The T-34-2's playstyle is actually similar to that of an autoloader, its true potential lies in flanking a vulnerable enemy, dishing out heavy alpha damage, and then retreating to cover. As the T-34-2 is a relatively rare sight on the battlefield, most players never expect the small and paper-armored medium to have the firepower of an IS-3 and fatally underestimate it at the cost of one-third of their tank. The T-34-2 well-utilizes bushes and can often remain hidden while firing. As difficult as it is with the 122 mm, sniping is a very viable tactic, but the gun can only be used at a moderate distance.

• The T-34-2 finds itself much better-suited to city maps, such as Himmelsdorf, than open maps. It can be a very situational tank. One of the key points of the T-34-2 are its premium HEAT rounds, the penetration value of the 122 mm is practically doubled. Although shooting HEAT is very expensive, the low fire rate, long aim time, and low AP penetration ensure that you want to make every shot count. Unless you are presented with the side or rear of a tank, HEAT rounds may be a necessity. The key to playing a T-34-2 is to take an opportunistic supportive role and survive to continue providing powerful alpha support. Always avoid engaging tanks head on, peek-a-booms are viable but dangerous. A well-driven T-34-2 easily ends up with at least 2000 damage, even on a loss.

Early Research

• First mount the third engine to make sure you've got the speed to flank your enemies, the penetration of the 85mm guns is far from enough to attack enemy tanks from the front. Then research the improved suspension and turret, the order doesn't matter, you'll need both to mount the 100mm gun from the T-34-1. Once you've got the 100mm gun, you should keep going to the last 100m gun.
• If you have another vehicle that needs the 122mm gun or just like the high Alpha then you should research that too.
