LordBeaverbroke 5 Report post Posted March 20, 2023 In 1950, US forces captured the T-34-85 serialized as G812 which was handed over to the CIA in 1951, which would go on to write a report about it in 1951. It's a 463 page report (Which is linked here in full: ENGINEERING ANALYSIS OF THE RUSSIAN T34/85 TANK<Sanitized> (cia.gov)) however, their general findings can be found in 5 pages at the start The only really actionable thing from this report that can be done to this game is nerfing the T-34-85's vertical traverse, so I guess that is what I am asking for in a very roundabout way. Or maybe I want an American T34/85 premium, I don't know. Whatever the case, have fun with the document (Which by the way was published in 1951, released in 2000 and got through a FOIA request through the CIA reading room, so don't remove mods, it's perfectly legal). 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNDM Nirvana@live 830 Report post Posted March 22, 2023 Very interesting, indeed. However expecting Gaijin to read this and nerf their glorious Bias machines is a waste of time. 1 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lingering poisonous vapor resulting from their use would be very likely to drive the crew out of the tank before it could be cleaned out by ventilation." Setting the vehicle on fire = crew out = tank destroyed = shells/shots-eating fuel tanks problem solved... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
