[Colonel Talvela]

standing up t34/76s against stugs in '43 will be a loss for the t34s everytime. But one of the best things about CM compared to hex based systems in my opinion is the movement model, and the t34 demonstrates that better than any other tank with a real gun IMO. On the move, T34s can turn really quickly, so you should be able to flank a stug and kill it - except a good player will put it in a keyhole spot and protect its flanks with AT guns and shreks - but I digress.

concerning rate of fire - I am pretty sure buttoning does not make a difference. As mentioned above, the big difference is size of the shell. Here is a ROF table for different axis tanks
