The T-28 (1936) is armed with a KT-28 howitzer, the same gun as the T-35 and the T-26-4. As a howitzer, the trajectory of the shell will compel you to get closer if you want to hit. The APHEBC shell is filled with 155 g of TNT, making sure all penetrated vehicles are knocked out after a single shot.The penetration is rather poor but is not a big problem at this BR, as almost all the vehicles you'll face won't have enough armour. The only real curve of using this gun is the velocity which is at max 387 m/s for HE & 370 m/s for the APHEBC.

Description

A T-28 supporting infantry

The T-28 (1938) is a rank Soviet medium tank with a battle rating of (AB), (RB), and (SB). It was introduced in Update "Ixwa Strike". This production T-28, unlike its following variants (T-28 and T-28E), is equipped with a KT-28 howitzer and is primarily used as an infantry support tank. It won't be the spearhead of an armoured assault but will suffice in close quarters combat.


General info

Survivability and armour

As for most early war tanks, the armour isn't much to write home about. Most if not all other cannons will punch through the thickest armour of 30 mm or put a shell through the thin 20 mm sides. The only reason this tank will survive longer than other early war tanks is the amount of crew sitting around, especially the MG turret crew.

Armour type:

Turret 20 mm Turret front

Cupola 10 mm 10 mm 10 mm 10 mm

Notes:

The suspensions are protected by a 10 mm side skirt.

Like all the others T-28, the T-28 (1936) has an quite good mobility, with good acceleration and a top speed of 40 km/h (44 in arcade). Its 500 horsepower engine (954 in Arcade) will allow it to exploit holes on the enemy lines.

Main article: KT-28 (76 mm)

The T-28 (1936) is armed with a KT-28 howitzer, the same gun as the T-35 and the T-26-4. As a howitzer, the trajectory of the shell will compel you to get closer if you want to hit. The APHEBC shell is filled with 155 g of TNT, making sure all penetrated vehicles are knocked out after a single shot.The penetration is rather poor but is not a big problem at this BR, as almost all the vehicles you'll face won't have enough armour. The only real curve of using this gun is the velocity which is at max 387 m/s for HE & 370 m/s for the APHEBC.

Machine guns

Main article: DT (7.62 mm)

The MGs are purely mounted for infantry combat, they won't penetrate anything that is more than covered and would only suffice at knocking out open crewed vehicles and anti-air. The vertical guidance is mediocre and you might be able to shoot down planes directly in front of the tank if you get it on a slope.

7.62 mm DT
Mount Capacity (Belt) Fire rate Vertical Horizontal
Coaxial 2,646 (63) 600 ±15° ±15°
Left Turret 2,646 (63) 600 -5°/+28° -155°/+5°
Right Turret 2,646 (63) 600 -5°/+28° -33°/+145°

Usage in battles

With its great mobility and its powerful gun, the T-28 (1936) is a great brawler. Unlike the further versions, you can't shoot enemy tanks at middle to long range, so avoid sniping and try to get the closer possible. Don't travel in the open, your armour won't last long.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Good mobility
  • Good armament:
    • Powerful shells filled with a lot of TNT will allow you to take out every tank you'll face with a single shot
    • Shrapnel shells available, useful to destroy trucks and armoured cars
  • Numerous crew members grant a longer survivability

Cons:

  • Low muzzle velocity makes long distance targeting difficult
  • Big silhouette and profile, difficult to hide
  • Poorly armoured vehicle

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
