Here is the superstar of the Polish TV series 'Four tankmen and a dog', the T-34-85 Rudy! It comes with a special crew from the series, plus the dog Szarik, barks when you click on him in the crew section. Let's see what this special T-34-85 can do on the battlefield!
Gameplay
First off, it may be a special version of the T-34-85, but the Rudy's gameplay is similar to the regular Soviet vehicle in the tech tree. In terms of protection, don't expect much from it. Despite the hull being angled, it's quite thin and won't really deflect anything. Your turret front is thicker and is angled as well, which can result in some lucky bounces. Watch out though, as a well-placed shot can still penetrate and will most likely damage your ammo rack.
Mobility-wise it's on par with most other medium tanks, reaching crucial positions is no issue at all. We also encourage you to play a bit more aggressively with the T-34-85 Rudy. The accuracy isn't exactly bad but not great either; it's a Soviet tank, after all. Get closer to your targets to make your shots count.
The 85 mm gun deals more damage than other medium tanks of the same tier and can be even a nasty surprise for heavy tanks. To compensate, the rate of fire is slightly lower, but the damage per minute is still pretty high. Depending on the vehicle you face, you can either trade shots or try to land more hits while your opponent is reloading.
