''Give the reader information about the characteristics of the main gun. Assess its effectiveness in a battle based on the reloading speed, ballistics and the power of shells. Do not forget about the flexibility of the fire, that is how quickly the cannon can be aimed at the target, open fire on it and aim at another enemy. Add a link to the main article on the gun: <code><nowiki>{{main|Name of the weapon}}</nowiki></code>. Describe in general terms the ammunition available for the main gun. Give advice on how to use them and how to fill the ammunition storage.''

The T-34-85 is equipped with the fantastic ZiS-S-53 cannon, with penetrates about 145 mm on the close range with the stock BR-365K 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.

The gun depression is like on many other Soviet vehicles quite poor, with only 5° there are no hull-down manoeuvres possible.

'''Notes''':
 +
 +
* Shells are modeled individually and disappear after having been shot or loaded.
 +
* Rack 11 is a first stage ammo rack. It totals 16 shells and gets filled first when loading up the tank.
 +
* This rack is also emptied early: the rack depletion order at full capacity is: 11 - 1 - 2 - etc. until 10.
 +
* If you pack 17&nbsp;''(+43)'' shells, it will keep the hull empty of ammo.
 +
* Simply not firing when the gun is loaded will move ammo from racks 1 to 10 into rack 11. Firing will interrupt the restocking of the ready racks.

Like all T-34s in Finnish service, these were captured by the Finnish Army during the Continuation War. In the case of the T-34-85, this was from 1943 onwards, when the new model of the tank with the 85mm gun began to enter service. A total of 9 T-34s were captured by the Finns. <ref>Zaloga, Steven J.; Kinnear, Jim (1996). ''T-34-85 Medium Tank 1944–94''. New Vanguard 20. Oxford: Osprey Publishing. ISBN 1-85532-525-7</ref>

Notes:

  • Shells are modeled individually and disappear after having been shot or loaded.
  • Rack 11 is a first stage ammo rack. It totals 16 shells and gets filled first when loading up the tank.
  • This rack is also emptied early: the rack depletion order at full capacity is: 11 - 1 - 2 - etc. until 10.
  • If you pack 17 (+43) shells, it will keep the hull empty of ammo.
  • Simply not firing when the gun is loaded will move ammo from racks 1 to 10 into rack 11. Firing will interrupt the restocking of the ready racks.

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Great mobility: 56 km/h max speed allows it to relocate itself easily
  • Nice cannon with adequate penetration, awesome damage and good reload speed
  • Has a wide range of shells to choose from: free BR-365K, destructive BR-365A, and piercing BR-365P
  • Fast turret traverse, dealing with multiple targets is less dangerous
  • Large fuel tanks next to the engine can protect it by absorbing some shells
  • Sloped hull armour and gun mantlet might bounce some shells with luck

Cons:

  • Armour was not upgraded from older T-34, severely lowering protection against powerful tanks like Panther D
  • Closely packed crew of 5 tend to be taken out by a single shot
  • -5° gun depression hinders its capacity in hilly terrains
  • -7 km/h reverse speed is slow, can sometimes get the player killed
  • Maximum 3.5x gunsight zoom is inferior to some tanks (eg. Tiger E, M36, Nashorn) in ranged engagement
  • Enlarged turret makes it easier to get spotted & hit

History

Like all T-34s in Finnish service, these were captured by the Finnish Army during the Continuation War. In the case of the T-34-85, this was from 1943 onwards, when the new model of the tank with the 85mm gun began to enter service. A total of 9 T-34s were captured by the Finns. [1]
