Is it good enough?

[iPotato Famine]

Don't know. I haven't got that far yet

I heard it plays similar to the t-34-1

....still I am only at the tier 2 now... so I have no personal experience...

however, they all say no matter how bad or good the tanks in the line are, the tier 10 is really worth the grind .....if you have experience with/know how to play poorly armoured tanks that is....

*T-34/100
Its decent. Sluggish but holds good top speed. 5 degrees of gun depression is nothing special.
Gun is very good with 250 alpha, 175 standard pen, 250 HEAT pen and 7rof. Bad accuracy and aimtime make it bad at sniping.
Its a close quarters support medium.

 

Oh and you only get 30 rds of ammo, so expect to come close to running out on a mastery badge game.

She's everything I hoped she'd be.
Seriously, though, my assessment as a T-34 fanboy:

The T-34/100 is a ranged alternative to the T-34-1. You get better gun handling with the same mobility, but since you're on the T-34 platform, you have unreliable armor. I disagree with Owl's stance on it being a supportive close combat medium. It can play that role, but you're better off with a T-34-1. However, if you're just passing through the grind and that's a style that works for you, go for it. I find the tank excels at mid to long range support, though. Its mobility allows it to be aggressive and flank or isolate targets, but with better gun handling than the T-34-1's 100mm, I find that mobility is best used to relocate and stay out of sight while pelting people at range.

It does have a low ammo count, though, so that can be a bit frustrating. I think a lot of people will dislike it since it's just an up-gunned Tier VI, but it's a very versatile tank and the only downfall I can truly think of for it is that it just can't take a hit. It's got too much going for it to call it a bad tank, even if it is on the platform of a Tier V/Vi T-34/T-34-85.

 

Did you play the Zizka T 40? If so, it's the same playstyle. You're not supposed to be trading health. You're just trying to use an above-average-alpha gun to smack people without taking return fire. Simple as that.

What's not to like it's a t34 with a big gun

Gets a place in my garage just because of that

Now I have all the t34 versions. Happy days

[Gigantic Owl]

Too bad it doesn't even have the T-34-85 top engine.

....tier 7 mediums in a nutshell

 

Also good to know: the T-34-100 only has 5 degrees of gun depression, which is very poor by Czech standards....

Er, that's backwards if we're talking about the Russians.

The main appeal for me, outside of my love of the T-34 platform, is the fact that it's the opposite of the Soviet KV-13 and T-43. Instead of being an improved platform with the same tier VI gun, it's an improved gun with the same tier VI platform. A concept that'd be disastrous with most VIs, but works great with something as versatile as the T-34. Don't get me wrong, I adore my KV-13, but it gets a bit old carrying that 85mm around in tier IX matches. I've always felt competent in the KV-13, or the T-34-1 (for different reasons, though) but I actually feel in my element when running the T-34/100. It's such a nice change of pace for me.

[luds38]

I just moved up to the T-34-100 today.

 

I thought it would feel uncomfortably slow in comparison to the tier 6 predecessor, but it actually still pretty quick and feels right.

 

It is EXTREMELY accurate, I nail a lot of shots dead on without being fully aimed in.

 

The only downside is the gun depression IMO, it's awful.

[A Wild Kush]

I've yet to see a match as top tier, and I'm 5k from the 100mm gun the pain is real. Or I'm getting some very unlucky mm

I had to check the topic title to see if we're talking about the same tank. I feel lucky the shells come out the right end of the barrel on this thing. Granted I spend almost all my time in German tanks so I'm spoiled on accuracy. By the stats it's not that bad but all I seem to hit is dirt and air. Haven't disliked a tank this much in awhile. 

[sergioG1024]

I just started with T-34-100. My expression- the tank is one of the worst in MT category Lvl 7. The basic gun can't even hit the target. I don't talk about make a damage for Lvl 6 tanks. I am very disappointed so far.

let's see what happen when I'll have all upgrades in place.

The tank become useful after full upgrade completed. For the first 20 battles I managed to destroy 3 tanks. After upgrade I have almost killed 2 tanks per battle for next 20. Not so bad.

 

[Guest_Spicymonkey1_*]

I average 2k damage in mine and still can't get a Moe I've gotten 5k damage and still haven't got a ace tanker with it Ima bout to sell it anyone else having the same luck? I can get 3k in almost any other tier 7 and get ace tankers. Note base xp for every good game is 2k+

[Lord Skratulia]

I see these tanks dying all the time. Many someone uses it properly.. but I haven't met him yet.

[DrakeWolf13]

I have been grinding the Czech line for a little while now. The first 5 tanks were nothing special but that's most tank lines. The tier 6 was amazing and I loved every minute of it. Fast, good accuracy, ok sight range, all in all very enjoyable. Then I come to the 34/100...... I have found it to be very miserable in my opinion. Sadly the only way I can do any good with it is to run and hide somewhere on the map where I might get a snipe off for about the first 5 minutes of the game. After that half the other team is dead or my whole team has folded like an paper crane. Then I sneak out a stealthily as possible and grave cheap shots on nearly dead tanks till I'm either killed or the match ends. I'll grant perhaps this is just not a tank who's style clicks with me. Yet I can't say it's the fact of it being a medium that my problem as the tier 6 was one of my better tanks and I loved running it. Sadly I'm grinding (and bashing my head in a wall) trying to get past this tank and keep working towards my tier 9 and 10 as from what I have researched those run much like the tier 6. Sadly from what I have been able to find the tier 8 is just as miserable. No gun depression, meh speed, weak sight distance, and poor accuracy. Can amyone give me any advice as to how to get past these two tanks with a bit less pain? Sadly I am a poor man so free XP isn't an option even with my mill that could be converted. I'm still 80k short on XP and grinding away. Any helpful advice would be welcome.

[MyEm0Romance]

I just had this happen with the stock tank, no packages unlocked yet. I cannot believe this happened. In any case, I like this tank except for it's current gun (being stock of course) it plays surprisingly well for me.

Im also on the 34/100 for the time being, and for me it helped alot to open the last packages. Better gunhandling and a little more speed. But ofcourse im not loocking forward to the next one LOL.
