The T-34-2 is a Chinese tier 8 medium tank.
The T-34-2 was not an upgraded modification of the Soviet T-34 tank, but was a totally different vehicle. Chinese engineers conceived the T-34-2 as an analog of the Soviet T-54. Later the U.S.S.R. passed the technology of T-54 production to China, and the T-34-2 project was discontinued.
The T-34-2 is often compared to the Type 59 as it has a similar design, speed, turret, and can even equip the same gun. However, if equipped with the 122 mm, the playstyle of the T-34-2 is radically different than that of the Type 59. Unlike the Type, the T-34-2 has very little hull armor. It's prone to ammo rack damage and fires. With the 122 mm, being killed due to a lack of gun depression and missing shots is not uncommon, and can therefore be very unpleasant for players that aren't familiar with it. However in the right hands, the T-34-2 can be an unexpected and extremely dangerous threat. The 122 mm can hit a tank for as much as 488 damage; the T-34-2 is literally an IS crossed with a medium, as it has the same gun as the IS. Most players never expect the T-34-2 to possess such firepower and frequently underestimate it at a fatal cost.
The T-34-2 leads to the WZ-120.

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 alpha damage and good camo value. The T-34-2's play-style 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.
- 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, even though it does become very finicky due to a lack of precision to put shells where they need to go, and fickle HEAT mechanics. 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, and with unmatched versatility in being able to both scout very effectively and deliver a solid punch, it's capable of making wins come out.
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. Just remember that to mount the 100mm instead makes you a severely gimped T-44, with less gun depression and far inferior gun handling.
