      T-34 Chan If you do a *little* bit of research and you'll see the BT-42 wasn't good at anti-tank warfare. On the surface of looking at the internet (Wikipedia), the tank was extreme unpopular in the Finnish military. The new turret stressed the suspension and engine of the vehicle. The shells they used against the enemy also had big problems. One BT-42 shot a T-34 18 and didn't even immobilize the vehicle. So unless they used proper working shells, which never happened, this thing would've been taken out by a BT-5/7. The fuses on the shells weren't made properly so that was the problem. So yeah that's just my look at the Wikipedia article but if you feel like correcting me on anything I guess you can. I mean on the bright side it was good against pillboxes so that's one thing. Why did I write a long comment

    The thing about increased repair time because of the Christie suspension doesn't work, the suspension can't break in game

    You forgot to mention that early war soviet tanks were not given enough ammo for training leading to reduced crew skill and a chance to spawn in with less then full ammo.

    Spookston I really like your videos, I watch them with big pleasure. But one thing pisses me of - when you show engine death or fuel hunger, engines are still running. Can you please shut them off? That's not a big deal, but a quite good detail. Thank you for your work!

    US Army in the late 20s, early 30s: "Well she objectively outperforms every other tank in her weight class and she's relatively easy to manufacture. Unfortunately she doesn't really fit our doctrine soooo... *swipes left*

    Damn I remember going back to rank 1 with Russia and getting more than 10 kills going deja vu all over the map. Had more fun in that match than an entire year of playing rank 5-6

    You got your request, BT-7M is here but it is inaccurate historically, as you would guess....
