People apparently will never be happy no matter how cheap it gets, as long as t-34 is weaker than PIV. Just make it a clone of the latter for the same cost and be finally done with it already.
Its not that it needs to be identical to the p4, even a p4 clone would be worse than an actual p4 because it has to face generally harder and more accessible AT. A lone p4 is a threat, a lone t34 is free exp, a vetted p4 can bounce even at gun shells as well as some dedicated, nearly equal in cost tank destroyers.. A t34 wont bounce anything ever aside from a p4 at long range, hell even a schwere is a threat to a lone t34..
Cheap is only good if its at least cost effective, but for a tank that is supposed to flank it doesnt have the survability OR the offencive capability (anyone else seen that video of the t34 chasing a tiger to base bouncing off its ass the whole way then getting destroyed by said tiger?)
Again im not asking for a 04 clone, just something worthy of a t4 slot
