T 55A: The Universal Fighter

Posted: 07 Sep 2018 03:12 AM PDT



What is the T 55A? It's when you break into a drawn-out shootout, take out a couple of enemies and proudly leave the chaos you caused with others fearful that you are coming for them. When you ricochet a shell from a devastating gun, just smile and don't give them a chance to reload. When you've tracked your prey, circle and tear them apart, then enter the heat of battle with enemy mediums. And all of this can take place in just one battle!

Until September 14, the "Universal Fighter" bundle with the Enriched T 55A medium tank is available in the Store. All the equipment is unlocked in the tank—simply press "Battle!" and start unleashing carnage.

The T 55A is ready for anything

Stemming from the development of the iconic Soviet T-54 tank, the T 55A received its best traits: it's dynamic with excellent maneuverability, a fast-turning turret and a quick-firing and accurate gun, even at full speed. Add to the mix great armor and you get a jack of all trades.

Each of the T 55A's strengths are proven by its stats. At first glance, these figures are obvious: this tank will rip and tear.



Although the frontal armor is lacking 20 mm compared to the T-54, the T 55A remains a sufficiently protected machine by medium tank standards. These lost millimeters in the body are almost unnoticeable: thanks to the slope, the effective thickness of the frontal armor reaches approximately 200 mm. The turret has thick armor and can ricochet—this will save a lot of your HP.

The decent armor doesn't prevent the T 55A from being a very mobile machine with high power-to-weight ratio. You can quickly accelerate and overcome obstacles at an average speed of 45 km/h, reaching 50–52 km/h in a straight line or 58 km/h when going downhill.



The T 55A is armed with one of the fastest guns available to Tier IX medium tanks. Without any upgrades or equipment, you will fire every 7 seconds, dealing 310 damage per shot. The armor penetration of AP shells will suffice for any occasion, if we don't include frontal crossfire with heavies. Such situations should be avoided, but if it's already pressing on you, use HEAT to penetrate an average of 270 mm.

Effective gun + Enriched T 55A = increased credit income for every fight

In addition to the basic stats, the gun also has excellent stabilization. Movement, turning and firing minimally affect the scatter so you will be able to shoot effectively even at full speed.



Like his researchable "elder brother", the T 55A suggests an aggressive style of play. Capture the high land, avoid the enemy from the flanks, break into the very heat of battle, distract and torment enemy tanks in a most brash manner. The T 55A is one of the vehicles that can take out anyone and win a fight that seemed lost. If two of them are in a platoon, someone's in trouble.





The T 55A is not a Premium tank. Its earnings correspond to that of Tier IX vehicles with activated enrichment. If necessary, the characteristics of the T 55A may be adjusted to improve game balance.
