Right now the anti tank rifle is> than the t34 vs. the pz4

[ledurpy]

I just played a whole round on pavlovs as the t34 and the rounds bounce off the pz4 like nothing is happening , this makes no sense because i would constantly destroy pz4's on gumrak with no issue. Then after that round i load up anti tank and destroy the pz4s like its no problem.

This really needs to be fixed if we are going to be waiting months for new tanks. The t34 was not "useless" against the pz4 as its being portrayed in this game. Im not even killing the crew.

I think you're over-exaggerating a whole lot when you say it's useless. I destroy Pz4s left and right with a T-34, hit on the side, right under the wood planks and you'll one hit it every time, if you can't do that then hit the turret frontally and you'll knock out the loader or the gunner or the commander. This isn't a game where you cant just hit the tank anywhere and it gets "hurt", the tanks in this game don't have a life bar.

It depends on the situation. I have absoultely no trouble killing German tanks 1 on 1 as T34. I've even killed 2 P4's attacking me because one had his side exposed and got good frontal shots on the other one. I don't know why people have so many problems with the T34, it's a great tank and can take incredible punishment if you keep the front pointed at incoming fire.

Fixed that for you.

dont think we are playing the same game

front on i get one shotted or wiped out crew.

angled a bit i get one shotted

No matter what i do the t34 dies and no matter how many shells i put into the commanders hatch , the driver port , and the turret ring , the panzer 4 is unstoppable

Don't know what to tell you. Much of the time I play as tank I can destroy the German side (aside from Gumrak) so much that I notice their tankers often quit. Obviously more challenging people exist, but in most public servers it isn't that hard to me. T34 is totally capable depending on who is controlling it.

I'd give up tanking then.

From what I've heard confrontations between T-34s and PzIVs happen like this?

T-34

PzIV

Aftermath.

Mine sure don't, but this is what it people explain it like.

I lol'd.

 

[Unorthadox]

Nah, Krobar, you're way off!

Everyone knows that the PIV's clearly superior everything allows it to fly! The only time you'll actually see a PIV on the ground is when it's warp drive malfunctions.

learn how to use the t34 ffs, threads like this are really getting old, i ALWAYS play allies and i get a tank every time i can, do you see me crying ? No, but you'll often see me #1 in the scoreboard

not bragging, just l2p already

well, that's assuming he isn't in turret down. when that happens he's pretty much invincible. Hitting that turret from seemingly any angle has no effect, The only times I can knock a Panzer 4 out of action quickly seems to be with an ammo bunker shot, where at the T-34 the panzer only needs to lob a shell somewhere near the systems of the tank, especially the turret to damage multitude of systems and crew (not to mention the T-34 can explode from a hit almost anywhere). Really, I've pumped round after round into that turret, never once does that gun stop doing it's thing or that turret stop spinning.

Which is actually incorrect, especially when hitting from the sides, since the side turret armour of the Pz.IV G is around 30mm.

I would not be too sure about that. RO I also claimed no lifebar/healthbar either but it was hidden in the code. Anyway, look here:

T34, it's a great tank and can take incredible punishment if you keep the front pointed at incoming fire.

If you keep the front directly pointed at 75mm incoming fire you should expect to be penetrated very quickly.

Anyway it seems the tanking in RO II is inconsistently buggy and needs a serious looking into.

This is going to sound like useless advice, but... Don't get shot. If the PZ IV sees you, run away for a while. You won't be killing a lot of stuff hiding, but then again, neither will he if he is trying to camp your lonely tank. If you get the drop on the PZ IV, take your chances and shoot first, but it he swivels the turret at you and he is not dead, get out or risk losing half your crew or even your tank. You can not play a T34 the same way you would play a PZ IV, the German gun kills you faster than you can kill him. A hull down PZ IV is almost untouchable, a hull down T34 is only concealed.

I'm not sure why the T34 has a reputation as a superbly armoured tank with gamers. Sure the armour was angled but it was thin and brittle, the ranges and guns used in RO2 and many other games negates the advantage it had in 1941 and early 1942. If the PZ IV is a tank, the T34 is an opportunistic raider in comparison.

Even more so, tank vs tank combat is not all that important on combined arms maps. The T34 comes loaded shock full of HE rounds to clear out objectives. In gameplay terms, tanks on combined arms maps drain enemy reinforcements, clear objectives and act as impervious pill boxes. Neglecting these duties in order to go out of your way to duel other tanks should land you in the penal battalion for incompetence.
