Description
The Т-34-85 Gai is a rank IV Chinese medium tank with a battle rating of 5.7 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.91 "Night Vision".
General info
Survivability and armour
The tank it self has very poor survivability due to the fact that all 5 crews are stack on top of each other. However most inexperienced player that face this tank will have a hard time to kill it because most of the time they shoot the lower hull part or the driver hatch.
Mobility
The tank itself has pretty nice mobility up to 31km/h and 6km/h backward.
Armaments
Main armament
This is where the t-34 85 Gai excel at.Like any other 85mm cannon the t-34 has. it has really big tnt equivalent and a pretty nice penetration.
Additional armament
Some tanks are armed with several guns in one or more turrets. Evaluate the additional weaponry and give advice on its use. Describe the ammunition available for additional weaponry. Give advice on about how to use them and how to fill the ammunition storage. If there is no additional weaponry remove this subsection.
Machine guns
Offensive and anti-aircraft machine guns not only allow you to fight some aircraft but also are effective against lightly armoured vehicles. Evaluate machine guns and give recommendations on its use.
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:
- Top mounted heavy machine gun is useful against soft targets and perhaps incoming aircraft
- Good gun, acceptable penetration when used for flanking and high one-shot kill potential
- Has access to the BR-365P APCR round
- Good mobility
- 5 person crew
Cons:
- Armor is inadequate at its rank
- May have issues penetrating some targets frontally
- Heavy machine gun needs to reload frequently
- Fairly tall, top machine gun makes the tank even more noticeable
History
The Soviet Union sold numerous T-34-85 tanks along with other vehicles to the People's Republic of China in the early 1950s since the new nation had few and often obsolete tanks in its inventory after the conclusion of the Chinese Civil War. The T-34s saw limited deployments with the People's Liberation Army during the Korean War. The history of the tank afterwards has been the subject of debate; according to some sources the PRC attempted and possibly succeeded at creating a local copy of the T-34 under a "Type 58" designation, and according to others this was never a goal, no such tanks ever existed, and only efforts to maintain and repair the T-34s were carried out. Regardless the T-34s were soon superseded by the far superior Type 59, a licensed copy of the Soviet T-54A. However, stocks of T-34s remained in the PLA inventory for a long period of time before domestic tanks were available in sufficient quantity.
T-34s in Chinese service were often upgraded to a standard referred to by some as the "Type 58". The exact details and universality of these upgrades are also nebulous, but known characteristics include a new loader's cupola capable of mounting a heavy machine gun, hardpoints on the right turret cheek for stowing away said machine gun, and a modified hinge for the rear transmission cover. Other upgrades may have been carried out as well.
The vehicle represented in War Thunder also features a splashboard welded onto the upper glacis. The "Gai" in its designation (改) means "modified" in Chinese.
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
