    What do you guys think of the improvements and the M47?
    Also, I do believe these two missions and the M47 will eventually be taken out later. So do enjoy these missions while you can!

    I barely scrapped a win in this mission. The M-47 has a turret front with 200mm armor which is double what the Panther had. The only viable option for the T-34/85 is to aim for the hull and score side shots. A lot of GHPC missions have you going hey, diddle, diddle and right up the middle. Which will lead to you getting massacred under almost virtually all circumstances. Pushing the flanks probably would have spared you some pain. Dropping smoke on the M047s could have also allowed you to get closer where your guns have some chance.
    Like me you ended up in a lot of head on fights and that just isn't going to work with this match-up.

    I think the developer's need to leave this mission in game - its a great "teachable moment" - illustrating the changes in tank eras and how far things have come. Not too long ago I was able to use the game's firing range to explain different types of sighting systems.

      West germany got the M47 at the same time East germany got their T-54s (1956) but they still used the T-34-85 so such a scenario is still possible. I hope that in the future we may see a more serious mission with the T-54 against the M48 patton III, would be an interesting matchup. They could even give the T-54s vertical stabilizers, would be the only one of its kind in the game.

      The M47 is unfinished, and it isn't even driveable in-game yet. Seems the devs wanted it out for the April Fools event. The T34-85 has actually been in the game since 2021, it's more finished. They'll likely get around to finishing the former if they decide to integrate the two vehicles as a serious part of normal gameplay.

      @@Pershingtank If it does, it'll likely be after the devs have released at least one of the Leopard variants, and I imagine the M47's main use in-game will be as reserve tanks when you're suffering heavy losses in Campaign mode. I don't expect more than one or two Instant Action missions for them, but you never know. With their limited resources, I don't expect them to be currently prioritizing the M47 over other tanks or features.

    T 34 are good tanks but their era has passed. Even from the 1950s to the early 1960s, there is no longer efficient armor against ammunition of the time. The Americans have to launch the M60 as quickly as possible.

      Also ww2 has been done to death and right know there are no tank games covering cold war equipment

Also, im not saying the game being cold war focused is bad, i love the game as it is and as it will be in the future, i just wanted to expand, i still want the cold war, i just want the ww2 era too :D and even modern era like steels beasts if it was possible, im not saying to drop the cold war but eventually it will be finished sometime, would be cool to get british and desert operations but eventually the content will end, a ww2 expancion for example would be pretty nice to have. Like you said, ww2 is overdone but still, at this time there are not a lot of good ww2 tank simulations, war thunder is game i loved but stoped playing because its very "arcady" like cs as you said and the grind is just.... f that game tbh ahahhaha, word of tanks is arcade and the grind is even worse, i dont have time for those grind games anymore, steel fury is amazing but is old, il2 sturmovik is not that deep in tanks and others are just not focused on tanks.
      So i agree with you, cold war is great, the game idea is great but i would love in the future to have a ghpc expansion with ww2 or maybe just a new came when this game is finished focused in ww2

      I struggled a lot on this mission as well, took me several tries. The T34-85 just isn't competitive with the M47 and really struggles to pen its front glacis and turret. The PT-76 actually does a bit better against the M47, particularly with HEAT rounds, but you'll likely loose both vehicles on first contact every time. You have to rely on strategy to win the day. Use the shit outta of your call-ins, blanket known positions with artillery and use the smokes to obscure obvious sight lines. Then, while the rest of the platoons shred themselves in a head-on attack, flank north and strike from the east, or even from behind the enemies' front. Hit their sides or rears. Use hull-down positions as much as you can. Don't try to take the objective until you know you've taken out most of the defending tanks surrounding it, then bomb the hell out of that town with arty before sweeping in and mopping up survivors at close range.
      This mission really teaches you how important tactics are when unevenly matched in this game. Part two is considerably easier in comparison, with access to more competent tanks to fight the M47's with.

The result? 300 T-34s wrecked, about 20 german tanks damaged or destroyed. The russians ran. So yeah, if we take the quality of equipment and technological advancement into consideration, post war tanks would butcher all 50 of those, while their numbers wouldnt need to exceed 5.
