Soviet Tank Review

This is the third part of my review and this review will be reviewing the tanks available for the Soviet Union from the Soviet Tank Hall so without further ado, let the review begin.

• T-70
  

Role:Reconnaissance and skirmishes
Squad Size:0
Weapons:45mm main gun

My experience with this tank is not much but its still a good tank during the early-mid game fighting enemy vehicles. But once you can built the T34, this tank is quite useless in the late game.

• T-90

Role:Anti-Infantry, Anti-Aircraft, Reconnaissance and skirmishes
Squad Size:0
Weapons: 2 12.7mm Machine Guns

This tank is basically a T-70 but modified for Anti-Infantry and Anti-Aircraft duties, this tank is quite useful even at the late game because of its ability to cut down enemy infantry effectively and when supported with T34 tanks, they became an effective anti-infantry and anti-armor force.

• T-34

Role:All around Tank
Squad Size:0
Weapons:76.2mm Gun (not upgraded), 85mm gun (when upgraded) and two machine guns

Icon tank of the Soviet Union, only three words can describe it. Tough, Strong, and Fast. its 76.2mm gun is good sadly it suffer from poor accuracy due to bad vision slits but the gun can be upgrade to a 85mm Gun which not only increase firepower of the T-34, it also increases the accuracy of the tank. The sloped armor of the T-34 does its job well by defecting incoming munitions from tanks like the Panzer IV and Stug IV. The speed of the T-34 is quiet fast in my view so the T-34 is one of the best tanks in the game and its also one of my favorite tank in the game.

• SU-85

Role:Tank Hunter
Squad Size:0
Weapons:85mm gun (not upgraded), 100mm gun (when upgraded)

The bane of German armor, specifically designed as a tank hunter, Armed with a 85mm gun and sloped armor, this tank is unmatched in terms of firepower and if upgraded to the 100mm gun, its firepower can rival even the mighty King Tiger and its armor can soak up quite a bit of tank fire but overall its a great tank for Anti-tank operations.

• IS-2

Role:Breakthrough Tank
Squad Size:0
Weapons:122mm gun

The IS-2 Heavy tank is one of the soviet union's most feared tanks due to its heavy armor and 122mm gun, Tanks like the German Panzer IV are not a match for it and it can go toe to toe with a panther. I personally only built one or two of these tank only because of three reasons:

1. I personally like the cheaper and more cost effective T-34 medium tanks.
2. The IS-2 reloads and fire slower than a tiger tank.
3. The cost of it is equal to at least two T-34 medium tanks which more cost effective.
