T-34 747(r) was the German designation for captured Soviet T-34 medium tanks. The first T-34s were captured by the Wehrmacht in the summer of 1941 and entered combat around the same time. They were used exclusively on the Eastern Front by the Wehrmacht, primarily between 1941 and 1943. Surviving captured vehicles were still in use as late as 1945. The exact number of captured T-34s cannot be determined, as captured vehicles were usually not officially incorporated into the Wehrmacht's inventory. Nevertheless, the Wehrmacht deployed more than 300 T-34s during the course of the war, some of which were fitted with commanders’ cupolas from the Pz. III and Pz. IV in workshops, or converted into other vehicle classes, such as the Flakpanzer T-34 (r).
The T-34 747 (r) was introduced in Update 1.59 "Flaming Arrows". Although the T-34 747 (r) was assembled from various T-34 and German Pz. III / Pz. IV parts, its combat characteristics are similar to the T-34E STZ in the Soviet tech tree. It has good performance, and its armour and armament are effective, making it a respectable medium tank. Its main disadvantage lies in its relatively compact design, which significantly reduces its survivability against a well-placed hit by armour-piercing shells, as well as its poor gun depression, typical of Soviet tanks.
