T-34M (A-43) IMPLEMENTED

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

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

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.

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.
