Tips
The T-34/76 is an excellent multirole tank. It has great mobility, has relatively strong soft stats, is cheap to spawn, has decent field maintenance time, and has a plethora of ammo types that makes this tank capable at dealing with both tanks and infantries.
T-34/76's armor is however lackluster, being unable to stop most majority of threats, requiring some levels of dependence from friendlies.
Despite being capable at dealing with tanks (with the correct ammo type), the T-34/76 does not, however, excel at it. It is likely to lose to heavier or higher tiered tanks in a fair fight.
Like most of the soviet tanks, the T-34/76 has lackluster optics, having only 2.5x magnification on its sights.
The T-34/76 has access to white phosphorus smoke shells unlocked at ribbon level 12 (only available for tier 2 medium tanks), which has some unique field applications.
Unfortunately, only 2 ammo types are ever allowed to be brought into combat for each single T-34/76. Some level of thoughts should be put into ammo selection in order for the tank to perform its intended roles. For instance, HE and Smoke shells are ideal for infantry support, while APHE solely focuses on vehicle destruction.
