RE: T-34's in Combat Mission
I think it has pretty much been thrashed out by the hardened grogs that the gun is slightly undermodelled, in that it should be able to get through 80mm of armour, and secondly Stug armour is overmodelled in all the CMBB 80mm Stugs, in that in real life there was a substantial area of the front that remained 50mm armour. All that means that 80mm armoured Stugs are real T34 killers and pretty much immune to return fire from the front, when in real life they were no such thing because the T34 could get through their armour whether it was 80mm or not.

So yes I think they are undermodelled in CM.

There's a thread on the Battlefront Board arguing that early T34s had a mechanical life expectancy of only a couple of hundred miles. They didn't get really mechnically reliable until later on, particularly with the T34/85s.
