I don't like either of the tier 5 T-34s, but they aren't in the same category as the tier 4 scouts.

Really tier 4 in general is kind of a shit tier.

I was familiar with the post-war upgraded Shermans with 105mm cannons as used by the IDF and several South American countries. But that Sherman with a honest-to-God Soviet heavy tank gun comes as a bit of a shock to me. What's the story behind that intimidating modification?

I have such a low winrate from that painful AT-8 grind, and yet my K/D and damage ratios are rather high...
EDIT: I'm getting admittedly a little frustrated with the British TDs. They're too team-reliant. Nah, they just kinda suck. No penetration, no damage, no mobility, no speed, and the "armor" is a lie.

This might be an interesting option for WG to use as a gift: a Mark A Whippet British medium tank in Soviet service, reequipped with a French Puteaux 37 mm gun in order to upgrade its firepower. Since regular Whippets were only equipped with machine guns, this version would actually make the most sense. Seems like it would make a somewhat decent tier II tank, even though it will be targeted by T18s with glee.

This one with a 10.5 cm gun as a premium would be sweet, if it was put in tier II/III (perhaps?)
EDIT: This one would be awesome :3

The Neubaufahrzeug has been promised to us for a while now, but thus far it hasn't appeared in the game yet. I would gladly buy the silly thing, apparently it is supposed to be a tier III premium medium.

The M5A1 isn't all that bad. Having driven the US M5, I can really appreciate the more consistent damage done by the 47mm. It also feels more maneuverable at speed, although that isn't much of a praise, considering the M5 turned like an oil tanker.

57mm gun is great. The pen isn't that far behind that of the 85mm, and the lack of alpha is somewhat compensated by rate of fire.

It does require long exposure times to make full use of because of this, though, so it requires you to know how to maximize your armour (aka dont just point straight at the enemy).

I understand that (well...) but I have no idea how to play KV1 on maps with open areas it just seems so god damn unwieldy
it can't be that different from the Churchill can it
