Even two-piece amunnition to the 12.8cm PaK 44 (used as towed AT-gun and in JagdTiger heavy tank destroyer) gave rate of fire 5 shells per minute. So how IS-7 (not produced in USSR because of... very impractical layout of its fighting compartment) can provide fire faster than Maus tank?

If I remember right the IS7 has some auto loader (in real). In the game it has 2 loaders same as the Jagdtiger though.

I had found data for first gun mounted on IS-7 - 130mm S-26 (surviving Kubinka IS-7 is armed with it): rate of fire - 2 shots per minute. I found that S-26 had pneumatic rammer changed in S-70 to the chain rammer with electric drive.

I'll try to get article about IS-7 published in Polish military periodic 17 years ago, but it will be hard. Probably some data will be in Bryan Perrett's book "Soviet Armour Since 1945" and Stephen Sewell's article “Red Star – White Elephant?” ("Armor", July–August 2002).

At least I had found penetration of S-70 gun for 30 deegres slope armour:
163mm - 1000m
143mm - 2000m

PS. Maus tank 128mm gun according to AchtungPanzer website for 20 deegres slope plate:
200mm - 1000m
178mm - 2000m

In order to get t34 as premium tank, do you need it fully researched?

I tried test server, and I didn't get the t34 nor M103 in test server.

it needs to be fully researched and in your garage before the patch in order to get it

not true ... you have to have it in your garage when 7.2 patch is released

As long as the T34 is IN your garage, then you will get the premium version once the patch goes live. If you have the tank researched only, i surgest buying it asap so you have the tank ready for the update.
And if the T34 in your garage is fully researched with all modules on, then you will get a fully upgraded M103, if its just a stock T34, then you will get a stock M103

I have a T34 in my garage with 0 battles, fully stock. I got the M103 and the T34 on the testserver, while the M103 isn't stock. It already has it's second gun, meaning a much nicer start (120mm).

How much time do I have to get the T-34? I just started WoT and badly need extra tank spots in my garage, T30 will take a bit to long I'm afraid

Few weeks I guess. I don't think getting a T-34 is a much of a problem though.

[SeverianPL]

T34, not T-34. T-34 is Soviet 5th tier medium tank, T34 is American 9th tier heavy tank. It will take you a lot of time. I'm afraid you won't get it until patch.

[Archonshope]

A little disapointment but hey, I can still try What I don't understand though is that the french have 2 tank lines? But don't get any extra while they have time to ad stuff for the americans. And I was expecting a buff or rename for the french tanks as well, the AMX35 and 40 are hella slow 20 km/h on flat terrain, but have good armor so they seem more like med tanks then light tanks, you can't go and spot a lot of tanks if you're not fast enough.

T34 should be better  

[SeverianPL]

Oh, it will get better... nerfs...
