Also I have to say the whole update was spectacular. I love the whole story. Relatively light and very mobile, the heavily sloped 45mm 81mm effective frontal armor of the T and it's high penetration, quick to reload 57mm ZiS-4 main gun and brace of machine guns made it deadly against the armored vehicles utilized by Hitler, Mussolini, and their cronies.
However, the vehicle was not without its flaws. The early runs of the T lacked so much as a commander's cupola and the cramped two man turret required the commander to multi-task, limiting the vision capabilities of the vehicle despite possessing excellent gun sights. And while the 57mm ZiS-4, the standard anti-tank gun of Comintern forces at the time; was very capable at anti-tank duties thanks to its accuracy, rate of fire, and high penetration, the shell; like that of most very high velocity but small caliber shells, proved anemic at best at infantry support due to its weak high explosive rounds that were unsatisfactory against enemy soft targets and hardened fortifications.
