Talk:T-34

Identification
This is very clearly a T-34, not a T-72. If you're looking for a more specific model, it's probably a T-34-85, as identified on IGCD. Corkeyandpals (talk) 00:23, November 5, 2013 (UTC)

Thank godness someone fixed it ((user:Swedishfalloutpootis/swedishfalloutpootis))

Location of the DT
I can't seem to find the Degtyaryov DT which the article states to be mounted on the tank.

Only thing indicating of an automatic weapon is on the photo I included (see below)

Is that the one people are referring to as a Degtyaryov? In that case, should I upload it to the T-34 wiki page? If not, where is the DT on the tank?

Why does this page exist?
Worst of all it is listed as a normal(drivable) vehicle where as it sould only appear on the wrecks page. (Rentedhitmanben (talk) 02:27, October 31, 2014 (UTC))

Change Title From T-34 to T-34-85?
After looking over the page, I have found that this page should specifically mentioned the tank to be a T-34-85. I'm personally a big tank guy who knows a lot on the subject. The tank in GTA V closely resembles a T-34-85 for mutiple reasons: the T-34-85 uses an 85mm D-5T gun, which is longer then the 76mm gun on a normal T-34. The 85mm gun which is used on the T-34-85 is present on the tank in the game unlike the 76mm which is not. Also, the turret is bigger than one on a T-34, this is due to crews in soviet tanks having a hard time moving around the turret section of the tank. In reponse to this, a bigger turret was designed and placed on new T-34 tanks going into production during the time, inculding the T-34-85. Furthermore, the T-34-85 is a totally seperate tank from the T-34.

To be historically accurate, I believe that the page should be changed to be a T-34-85 and not a T-34. I thought that I should mention this before editing the page.

What do you guys think? Should the page be changed or not? If some believe that it should, I wouldn't mind changing the page myself, however, if some find that it shouldn't, I'll just add some trivia info based on the facts previously stated instead.

 * Personally, I'd say it's fine the way it is. This isn't a tank wiki, it's a GTA wiki. Listing it by its general model rather than its specific variant is fine with me. Although by all means mention the variant on the page. My two cents. 08:18, April 21, 2015 (UTC)


 * I vote to change the name, but leave the current name as a redirect. GMRE (talk) 18:00, May 13, 2015 (UTC)
