The Swedish T-34 like all the other T-34s, is fairly quick and manoeuvrable, decently armed, and decently armoured. It is distinguished from all other T-34/76 models in that it has the [[L-11 (76 mm)|L-11 gun]] (the same gun as mounted on the [[KV-1 (L-11)]]), as opposed to the more powerful [[F-34 (76 mm)|F-34]]. It is identified by its low-slung barrel, with a recuperator creating a bulge above it. The vehicle's speed allows it to be a versatile flanker, but its armour keeps it competitive enough to be a brawler. It will also bounce somewhat frequently so angling the armour, as with any T-34, is helpful. The gun is decent for its rank but will struggle to penetrate other T-34s, [[KV-1 (L-11)|KV tanks]], [[M4|M4 Shermans]], and similar vehicles from the front.

'''Pros:'''
 
'''Pros:'''
  
* Sloped 45-40mm hull armour is effective at deflecting small/medium caliber shells
+
* Excellent post-penetration effect with the BR-350B, easily knocking out most tanks with a single shot
* Wide tracks and powerful engine brings great mobility, can keep up with light vehicles like [[M24 (Family)|M24]]
+
* Sloped hull armour provides good protection against small calibre / low-penetration shells (e.g. 75 mm KwK37, 50 mm KwK39), and even large calibre guns when angled correctly
* 76mm cannon's great damage can one-shot most common foes like [[M4]], [[T-34 (Family)|T-34]]
+
* 49 km/h top speed allows it to change position quickly and outrun lots of other medium tanks
* Relatively fast turret traverse allows it to deal with multiple targets or flanker confidentally
+
* Nearly impossible to damage the transmission and immobilize it from the front
* Small profile, harder to get spotted & shot at
+
* Very fast turret traverse, good for urban combat
* Large fuel tanks next to the engine can protect it by absorbing some shells

'''Cons:'''
 
'''Cons:'''
  
* -7 km/h reverse is slow, can put the player in a fatal situation
+
* The 4 crew members are very close together making it easily knocked out with a single shot by common enemies when penetrated from the front / side hull, or even the turret.
* -gun depression doesn't allow it to perform well in mountainous terrain
+
* -5 degrees gun depression is below average, making it ineffective to combat in hills comparing to the [[M4]] with -10 degrees depression
* Lacklusture penetration (99mm max) makes well-armoured targets ([[KV-1 (Family)|KV-1]], [[Churchill I]], [[T14]], etc) hard to kill
+
* Rather long reload time means the player must carefully aim each shot
* Cramped crew locations, very easy to get one-shot by tanks using explosive shell (eg. [[M24]], [[T 34 747 (r) (Germany)|T-34]])
+
* Large fuel tanks scattered at the sides of the hull, tend to catch fire if being hit
* Max 3.5x gunsight zoom makes distant engagement challenging
+
* The AP shells all lack the penetration against more heavily armoured foes like the [[StuH 42 G]]
 +
* L-11 cannon has a lower muzzle velocity and penetration than the F-34

Description

The ▄T-34 is a rank III Swedish medium tank with a battle rating of 3.7 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update "Fire and Ice".

The Swedish T-34 like all the other T-34s, is fairly quick and manoeuvrable, decently armed, and decently armoured. It is distinguished from all other T-34/76 models in that it has the L-11 gun (the same gun as mounted on the KV-1 (L-11)), as opposed to the more powerful F-34. It is identified by its low-slung barrel, with a recuperator creating a bulge above it. The vehicle's speed allows it to be a versatile flanker, but its armour keeps it competitive enough to be a brawler. It will also bounce somewhat frequently so angling the armour, as with any T-34, is helpful. The gun is decent for its rank but will struggle to penetrate other T-34s, KV tanksM4 Shermans, and similar vehicles from the front.

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:

  • Excellent post-penetration effect with the BR-350B, easily knocking out most tanks with a single shot
  • Sloped hull armour provides good protection against small calibre / low-penetration shells (e.g. 75 mm KwK37, 50 mm KwK39), and even large calibre guns when angled correctly
  • 49 km/h top speed allows it to change position quickly and outrun lots of other medium tanks
  • Nearly impossible to damage the transmission and immobilize it from the front
  • Very fast turret traverse, good for urban combat

Cons:

  • The 4 crew members are very close together making it easily knocked out with a single shot by common enemies when penetrated from the front / side hull, or even the turret.
  • -5 degrees gun depression is below average, making it ineffective to combat in hills comparing to the M4 with -10 degrees depression
  • Rather long reload time means the player must carefully aim each shot
  • Large fuel tanks scattered at the sides of the hull, tend to catch fire if being hit
  • The AP shells all lack the penetration against more heavily armoured foes like the StuH 42 G
  • L-11 cannon has a lower muzzle velocity and penetration than the F-34

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).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
