Summary

The stock Heng Long T34/85 tank has large oval cutouts for the vision slits in the commander's cupola. These are not historically correct. The actual cupola had vision slits that protruded outwards to defect incoming shrapnel. An actual cupola with these slits is shown here:

These should be printed using your "fine" setting. No supports are needed. A raft is recommended.

Note: Heng Long also has incorrectly reversed the roof of the cupola. The periscope should be on the hatch facing forward on the turret. If you carefully pry it up you can spin it 180 and re-attach it. There is a key and slot; file off the key (or cut a new slot) and the roof will fit as it should.
