RE: T-34's in Combat Mission
I'm not sure if the T-34 is under-modeled or not, but I do know that I have often used it out of context (exactly as you described, Bootie). I think a lot of us suffer from the popular-history mentality that states things like "T-34's were the best tank of the war." Most numerous? Sure. Best? Definitely not.

And here's my problem. They just look so darn cool and deadly, I think they are! Big Grin

I'm learning (very quickly, in a few PBEM games!) to use them more like my beloved Shermans on the Western front. They are great infantry support, and their mobility cannot be beat. You just need to run 'em smart, play to their strenghs (mass quantities, canister, etc.), and minimize their weaknesses (for instance, no long-range duels due to bad optics).
