The T-34M was an early-war attempt by Soviet engineers to shore up the limitations of the classic T-34 Medium Tank - the German invasion derailed all hope for it.

The T-34M was being developed by Soviet engineers at Lokomotiv Works , Factory No.183 at Kharkov as soon as 1941, this while Europe was already at war, and the modernized version was known internally under the project designation of "A-43". Chief changes in the M-model included a torsion bar/arm suspension system (instead of the original's Christie) for increased off-road mobility/performance, increased internal fuel stores for improved operational ranges, increased ammo storage, improved armor protection, and an all-new, roomier, three-man hexagonal-shaped turret enclosure complete with commander's cupola atop it. The running gear was revised to include a sixth road wheel to each hull side as well as a total of four track-return rollers to better manage the track-link sections. In addition to all this, a W-2-K 12-cylinder diesel-fueled powerpack of 600 horsepower output promised better efficiency and (as was hoped) reliability.

Armed with a 76.2mm gun OR a ZiS-4.

A possible cosmetic upgrade for The T-34-85 or early T-34

is in game as t34 model 1943

The A-43 looks different than a normal T-34 its a completely different looking
why do they all look the same?

The panthers looks all the same as well
so: calm down

Yeah but the t-43 had a different hull and turret
all the panthers had the same hull
why is it because of lazyiness or an actual reason.

an error on my part
the 43 version is not yet in the game there was a mistake in the numbers 43 and 34 are quite the same lol

The T-34M had the designation sign A43

I believe also that there is a version of this with the turret in the back instead of like normal t34s with it in the front.

a very good source of info
