Same thing about the HE capability. With the Panzer IV you can area- fire practically through a whole game. With the T34/85 you can't. So, the bigger bang comes with a distinct drawback.
This isnt true. The HE load of a T-34 is only slightly less than a Panzer IVH and averages around the high 30s to mid 40s. Given that the blast is much higher 75 v 45, the T-34 is far superior against infantry.
The flexibility given by being an excellent anti infantry platform for me makes the T-34 a far better tank than the Panzer IVH.
