After encountering early German Tiger I prototypes at Leningrad in 1942, the Soviets realized the F-34 tank gun was becoming inadequate. The development of heavier cannons, abandoned at the outbreak of the war, was resumed; among them was a program to convert the 85 mm AA cannon into a high-velocity anti-tank gun - the ZiS-S-53. Although initially it was considered impossible to create a T-34 turret that could house an 85 mm gun - leading to the turretless SU-85 TD - eventually such a design was implemented, adding a separate gunner as well to considerably improve situational awareness, which was hampered as the commander was constantly occupied with manning the main gun.

abstract	After encountering early German Tiger I prototypes at Leningrad in 1942, the Soviets realized the F-34 tank gun was becoming inadequate. The development of heavier cannons, abandoned at the outbreak of the war, was resumed; among them was a program to convert the 85 mm AA cannon into a high-velocity anti-tank gun - the ZiS-S-53. Although initially it was considered impossible to create a T-34 turret that could house an 85 mm gun - leading to the turretless SU-85 TD - eventually such a design was implemented, adding a separate gunner as well to considerably improve situational awareness, which was hampered as the commander was constantly occupied with manning the main gun. This variant uses the ZiS-S-53 85 millimetre gun which is more powerful than the F-34 gun of the T-34/76. It is almost just as fast as its predecessor, meaning it can outflank the slower German tanks while keeping its side and rear armor protected. Access to the Breakthrough Strategy allows you to call T-34/85's with tank guards riding on them that allows them to capture points when garrisoned.
