Description The RT-34 Model 1 was introduced in 1934 during "Operation Thunder Wave"
(The Grinerian invasion of Rostiland) In response to the invading Grinerian tanks the RYA (Rostiland Yellow Army) requested from the designers a tank that is fast enough to flank and firepower to penetrate the slightly thin armor on the rear or sides of the enemy tanks. so, the RT-34 Model 1 it was introduced.

Its main feature is the low profile of its tracks which makes it impossible for the tank to climb certain elevations consequently affecting its tactical performance, on the other hand low profile tracks help the tank to pick up high speeds off and on road.

another feature is its secondary turret, which was mounted in place of the commander's hatch that has the function of providing cover over enemy anti-tank infantry in flanking operations. due to the secondary turret the tank did not have hatches in the roof, so the hatches had to be positioned on the sides of the main turret making it a weak point.

The RT-34 Model 2 was designed to act mainly in defensive operations, as it has a third machine gun turret, slightly increasing its firepower against enemy infantry. However, its 34mm cannon is ineffective against certain armored vehicles, as it was designed exclusively to counter-attack enemy infantry.
