discussion T34/85

Your basic T34 with an upgraded much more powerful 85mm gun and a larger more ballistic turret.

Slogan on turret is actually Czech not Russian, I did not know that at the time

Still, it looks great!

Absolutely love this,
there's just something about T-34's that make them look so different,
your dio captures that moment when it's come under fire and the 'rider' on the rear decides to get off and pitch in....
Well done buddy.

Thank you, the T34 certainly was an original design and a real shock to the Germans.
It's sloped armor, wide tracks, diesel engine and in this later version the 85mm gun
made it more than a match even for the Panther and Tiger series whose petrol engines
froze in the brutal Russian winter temperatures and interleafed roadwheels clogged
with frozen mud immobilizing them.
