Crew:

Commander
Driver
Gunner
Loader (Radio Operator)

Advantages:

Excellent DPM, with relatively fast rate of fire. (Made even better with rammer, vents, and BiA.)
Good depression and elevation angles, especially for a Soviet tank.
Good turret armor, combined with decent gun depression.
Good side and rear armor. Surprisingly good at side-scraping.

Disadvantages:

Above average resistance values and mediocre P/W ratio mean rather sluggish mobility.
Average at best gun handling.
Exposed fuel tanks can easily catch fire from a penetrating hit to the front.
Mounts the same exact 85mm gun the T-34-85 gets, and cannot mount it immediately at stock.
Bad stock gun makes for a terrible initial grind

Tank description:

The T-43 is a Soviet tier 7 medium tank.Designed as a replacement for the T-34 in the spring of 1942. The T-43 was recommended for service, but all work on the project was discontinued in favor of improving the T-34. The vehicle never entered mass production.Designed to replace the T-34, and actually historically predating the T-34-85, the T-43 features increased hull armor and a new torsion bar suspension replacing the T-34''s Christie suspension, but retains the same weapons as the T-34-85 and has similar turret protection. As a Tier 7 medium tank, the T-43 is expected to face Tier 9 tanks using the same gun that the T-34-85 had at Tier 6, which can be frustrating at times, to say the least.The T-43 leads to the T-44.
