-The '''T-34-85 No.215''' is a premium special [[T-34-85 (S-53) (China)|T-34-85 (S-53)]] medium tank of historical significance during the Chinese People's Volunteer Army's participation in the Korean War. The T-34-85 No.215 took part in the Battle of Pork Chop Hill, also known as the Battle of Seokhyeon-dong Northern Hill (石岘洞北山战斗) in July 1953, against the 1st Brigade, 7th Infantry Division. The T-34-85 No.215 accidentally drove into muddy terrain while spotting a U.S. tank column at 1,400 metres while travelling at night. The crew immediately camouflaged the tank to avoid aerial reconnaissance by U.S. planes and successfully ambushed 3 U.S. tanks the next day, destroying 2 and seriously damaging 1. During the retreat, it exchanged fire with a few pursuing tanks, destroying two additional U.S. tanks. Throughout the Korean War, the tank crew of the T-34-85 No.215 destroyed 5 tanks, 9 mortars, 1 military vehicle, 26 enemy bunkers, 1 tunnel, and 1 command post. It also successfully provided infantry support in 7 combat operations. The Chinese Army awarded the prestigious title "People's Hero Tank (人民英雄坦克)" to the T-34-85 No.215 tank in appreciation of its significant military achievements, and all crew members were given the first-class merit award. The decommissioned T-34-85 No.215 tank is now on exhibit in the Military Museum of the Chinese People's Revolution (中国人民革命军事博物馆) for public viewing.

As a premium vehicle, players can earn bonus research points (RPs) and silver lions (SLs) during matches by playing it. The sloped armour provides adequate protection, but players should not rely on it to exchange fire with enemy tanks because most adversaries at this rank will easily penetrate this tank. It lacks a turret roof-mounted heavy machine gun as compared to American tanks. However, this is included in the [[T-34-85 Gai]] (improved) version of the T-34-85 (S-53).

-The stock round is the BR365K, it has a very good post-penetration damage with its explosive filler. The second round, the BR365A, has an improved penetration against sloped armour. This makes it more effective than the BR365K when shooting at angling M4A3E2's and Panthers. It also has a bigger explosive filler, which increases the post-penetration effect dramatically. An APCR shot is also available with a higher penetration, but keep in mind that it does not perform well against sloped armour and has very poor post-penetration damage. The O-365K HE shell performs pretty well against trucks & half-tracks.

 The T-34-85 No.215 is equipped with the fantastic ZiS-S-53 cannon, with penetration of about 145 mm on the close range with the stock BR365K round. This might not be enough to fight Tiger IIs frontally, but it works perfectly with other tanks, which are less armoured or you can engage them from the side. There are a variety of shells for the player to choose from, further enhancing the cannon's firepower. The reload time is not the fastest, but given its excellent knock-out ability, the T-34 can finish off one enemy with a single shell thus not needing to worry too much about the reload. Turret rotates fairly fast, at around 20°/s on average, allowing the T-34 to quickly switch targets without traversing the hull too much.
 The downsides are, the shell drop over long distances is quite significant, combined with the poor gunsight magnification (only 3.5x) it is hard to aim and hit distant targets, so it is best to engage targets at medium to close range (0-800 m). The gun depression is like on many other soviet (based) vehicles which is quite poor, with only 5° there are no hull-down manoeuvres possible. Also, without any stabiliser, the gun wobbles a lot when the tank is on the move. When the T-34 comes to a sudden stop, it still takes around 2 seconds for the gun to become completely stable which is a disadvantage against stabilised WW2 tanks such as any M4 Sherman.

 {{main|DT (7.62 mm)}}
 The 7.62 mm DT machine gun is quite ineffective in most scenarios due to its poor penetration. It can only disable completely exposed crews on vehicles like a M16. When it comes to lightly armoured tanks (e.g. M18, Sd.Kfz.234/2) this MG will struggle to pierce their thin armour plates.

 The T-34-85's best playstyle is that of a flanker. Due to its high mobility, fast turret traverse, and a capable cannon with excellent post-penetration damage, the T-34-85 fills this role perfectly. Since the turret is so tall, it makes combat behind low obstacles difficult, as the turret segment above the main gun is visible. The T-34-85's other playstyle can be as a support tank, by keeping up with more protected vehicles like the [[IS-2]] and supplement firepower while their heavy armament reloads.
 The T-34-85 would not make a very suitable short-range brawler though even with the 85 mm gun as the gun has a rather tedious reload for the specific playstyle and the [[T-34-57]]'s armour is very poor at its BR. With that, the T-34-85 would tend to be able to fire one shot at a close enemy before it gets taken out by other enemies nearby. However, it is understandable that the situation is unavoidable, so it is recommended to stay steady by firing one shot at an unsuspecting enemy at close range before retreating to reload, evading enemy shots.

 As a whole, the No.215 T-34 was credited with destroying 5 tanks (plus 1 damaged), 26 bunkers, 9 mortars, 1 command posts, and 3 armoured transport vehicles. It successfully completed seven combat missions with infantry. For this reason, the headquarters of the PVA awarded No.215 the honourable title of "People's Hero Tank", and all crew members received a collective special service.
 Many of the famous tales of the early People's Republic of China, like the similar story of the "Gongchen" [[Chi-Ha Kai (China)|Chi-Ha tank]], are rather fantastical and there is debate about how historically accurate the story of No.215 is as presented by official sources. There is little reason to doubt that it indeed served in Korea and the tank and crew were awarded for distinguished service. The specifics of its exploits are questionable: for example, its kill count of M46 Pattons is not corroborated by US loss reports. While it is possible that the lost Pattons were not recorded, it is also very possible that No.215's exploits were exaggerated. A reserved view of the tank could be one of a Korean War veteran with a memorable propaganda story behind it and a symbol of an intense chapter of Chinese history.
 The tank is still on display in the Military Museum of the Chinese People's Revolution in Beijing, China.
