The T-34 (1940) in War Thunder sits at BR 3.3 making it the lowest tier T-34 in the game. Don't let this T-34's poor shell performance fool you, though... it's actually INSANE!
The MD-5 shell has a hidden stat that isn't easy to see on the stat card. Despite it showing 42mm angled penetration at 60 degrees which is already ridiculous, it can eat its way into even more extreme angles without any loss to its penetration values.
In today's video, I show you just how insane it can really be. Able to chew through Panzer 4's side armor with even just a sliver of angle, this little guy is devastating if you know how to use it!
Fantastic tank! :)

@@Thiccron I find the M4A1 actually FAR better. I have like 250 deaths for 1300 kills with it. Nothing on paper says that it is good, but even better than good, it is excellent. The maneuvrability is great, the shells are pocket nukes, the front armor is surprisingly extremely good (unless you face T-34 with insane normalization, and Panzer IV long 75), and you mostly face new players with very low crew skill and reaction time.

I love this tank so much, my record for kills, 27, was using it+ its lineup.
You sir, are a naughty serial seal clubber.
What's even more fun is the T34 STZ. The SAV 20s try to kill me and all you hear is "bonk" "bonk" "bonk" for some reason they have issues trying to kill it but regular t34 is easy. And the extra armor and shaped turret makes it harder to kill in general lol plus same gun as the 1942!

WAAAGH! Sorry couldn’t help myself
I recently started grinding Swedish ground after completing two other tech trees and after only a month of playing the Swedish T-34 is by far the tank which I have the most kills with. That thing is completely nuts, I’m averaging 15+ kills a game with little to no effort. I swear that thing could go up to like 4.7 and be totally fine.
the bias is strong on this one
The intro clip is perfectly representative of my experiences with US mains anywhere above 5.3 BR. Get twice the kills of the rest of the team combined, still lose because all my US mains left after rushing in their Hellcats or M22s which they brought up to 9.0
I have always loved playing the T34s and will take at least one in a 6.0+ match just to throw random artillery and get the odd hit or kill. But your "old eyes" comment made me feel positively ancient at 63, as I was never going to be an average player with two eyes, imagine how bad it is with only one working eye, and the enemy team not obliging my request to stay on my right as I lost 60% frontal and 40% peripheral vision in my left. Good video.
Happy early bday man. I hope you have a great one
They need to add the KV-8 at BR 3.3 aswell. It uses 45mm from BT-7 and co-axil flamethrower. (Which will be useful because of all the opened topped vehicles at this battle rating.
Man, you driving this tank makes it an absolute menace...

Hey Odd could you make a ground vehicle tier list or one with the vehicles you most like/recommend?
Great woek as always. If you get a chance i have found playing the british tech tree at 8.3 with the chieftains annoying with the solid shot, but i have found that i have been more successful with HESH yes i know, but aiming is more tricky, maybe give it a try, and hopefully you'll have more joy than me lol.
Happy birthday Odd! Mine is July 12th but I think a have a few decades on you. lol
When youtube suggested me this it was 26 seconds old (newest video i have seen) Could you consider playing the Ikv 91-105?
“Slow turret traverse.” I do find the T-34s to have great gun handling at its BR, probably second to the Shermans. 23 degrees/sec is faster than some early MBTs.
I have to play this game in arcade mode, I can't even see the enemy very well when playing realistic mode, you make it look so easy
happy birthday odd!🎉
Merry birthday Odd
Hey Odd, any chance of you going back to the German Wonder Weapons series you started? was really enjoying it.
Oddbawz is so dominant he spends the last bit of the game chasing aircraft away with his tank.
Hey Odd, can you give us a tut on how you setup your flight controls for Ground RB? Flying with the mouse is seems to get me pancaked into the ground more often than not. If you have a video that already covers this topic I’m sorry that I’ve missed it.
HI OddBawZ, i` m new to war thunder, do you have a good control set up i should use.

Happy early birthday brother🎉
Watched this yesterday, played the tank for the 1st time last night. 9 kills with base vehicle. :)
You should try out the Strv m/42 EH. That thing is a real beast!
Pro tip. Angle the armor about, 25 degrees. Just make sure the enemy is around 300 to 500 meters in order for it to work. I tried it before. And all i see is non penetrations to the hull. So this will work.
happy early birthday oddbawz

This gun is why the BT-7A (F-32) is so good even into the mid-range BRs. Until you get the BMP it’s a fantastic scout and one shots everything from the flanks.

Yo Odd if you want some low tier bri'ish fun and pain, then I would recommend playing the Valentine versions (especially the 75mm one). I have them in my british line up with the matilda and the crusader Soviet pain: T-60
I’ve been killed in a Churchill MkVII by this thing and the early KV-1 from shells to the roof. Angle pen on those shells is nuts.
I think you should play the "horrible" m15/42 as well, it seems like that would be a pain to play and watch, but it's a nice break from high tier wt
Would love to see some mid-range JP tree. The Chi-Nu II or Chi-To/Chi-To Late!

You made more kills in this video then me in a whole year...
Play the Sherman 105. Boy that thing is difficult to use lol. I’m kidding, but would love to see you play it with the target range skin.
Play the Panzer IV H next, please It's so underrated
Once again odd double ace ggs
You and spookston should play the AMR35, its kind of better than the l3? Its tough cause you dont get an auto cannon.

Odd! You should try the shrapnel shell (the one with the metal balls) in higher tiers! I'm trying to get my Russian lineup up in tier to try this very thing.
I've seen these things when I play France with my M4 shermans (M4A1, M4A3 105, M4A4), and the gun is pretty good, but armor isn't really. Easy side pen with M72 shell and sometimes pen the front
I've recorded that intro and submitted it to the International Court of Justice for review. ggs
How do you not get up tiered to 4.3?
the T-34 prototype is a funny pair with that one
It's actually a HESH shell modelled as AP and is the only HESH that actually works the way HESH should work if you put the post pen aside
This thing is catastrophic. When I play this I can do 8-12 kill games, back to back, to back.
Will you please play the Chi-Ri II? It is a great tank that gets zero love.
Since this cane out I have noticed more 1940s than usual😂

The shell in question has a square-ish shape that allows it to "bite" into the armor instead of bouncing
@OddBawZ Happy B-Day in a couple DayZ 🎁🎂
The T-34 (1940). Angled armor for guns, angle gun for armor.
Do a video with a lineup of 6 Pounders like the Crusader, Cromwell, Churchill and Valentine
How about the EBR 54? Fast, good gun and an autoloader, all you need to ruin teams from the sides even at 6.7

Discusting. I love it ❤
That angled plate on the PzIV is also a weak spot (its only 30mm thick i believe)
I have had a 30 kill (no death) game in my T34 Prototype. It feels dirty playing it in a full downtier. Even in a full uptier it is a very capable flanker.
