- Radio Operator
- Driver
- Gunner
- Loader
Advantages:
- Good damage potential with the 57 mm ZiS-4
- Decent view range and accuracy at long range, which must be used to survive
- Good acceleration and top speed: able to climb hills with ease
- Very easy stock grind if the T-34 has been unlocked since they share the same 57mm
Disadvantages:
- Large silhouette and camo quality is very poor combined with thin armor
- Poor, unsloped armor; crew are weakly protected from HE
- Average gun depression with both turrets
- Suspension gets easily destroyed, often resulting in death (due to the low armor)
- Prone to ammo rack damage
Tank description:
The T-28 is a Soviet tier 4 medium tank.The T-28 tank was developed by the Experimental Machine Design Bureau of the Voroshilov plant. The vehicle saw service on August 11, 1933. A total of 503 tanks were manufactured at the Leningrad Kirov Plant between 1933 and 1940. During mass production, the T-28 tank underwent a number of changes in design and modifications. The vehicles were used in the war with Finland in the winter of 1939–1940 and at the beginning of WWII.This tank is best described as an "odd" tank. It is one of the longest tanks in the early tiers, making it a proverbial barn door for incoming fire and hard to hide; a fact not helped by its rather poor armor. Having said this, it is surprisingly fast and maneuverable. Although its initial guns are weak, it can eventually equip some very effective armament. The 57mm guns are very accurate and have plenty of penetration, which have a fast firing rate. This gives them a very high damage output, assuming one can survive and fire can be sustained. The contradictions in attributes lead to the T-28 using some rather odd tactics; it needs to stay out in the open to apply its damage, it can''t slug it out with the heavies, and its size means stealth isn''t much help either to survive as a medium. Caution and long range, patiently-laid fire are the best policies with the T-28. Let your team mates push forward and find the enemy, then use your speed and acceleration to get to the place you''re most needed, like a fast TD. Then, use your excellent firepower to help tip the balance. The T-28 can also be a surprisingly effective spotter (despite its bulk) due to its speed, and sight/spotting/flanking games which are a key part of this tank.The T-28 leads to the KV-1.
