Tank of the day - Soviet T54




 I have just over 100 games in the T54 , plus ~50 in common tests . Although it's a real pain to get this tank at full capacity , because of all the expensive equipment and modules , i started to like it . I don't use gold ammo , because i am against , although i have 2 rounds for heavy armor tanks . 

I use the 100mm D-54 gun , which has a mediocre penetration value of 219mm for it's tier , and mediocre aimtime + accuracy . If you can spam gold ammo every game, the other gun is much better . 
The best things on T54 is the mobilty and turret armor . Using this 2 can decide games. I many times killed JGPZE100 , T110E3 , T110E4 by flanking them and take advantage of their lack of mobilty . The turret is bouncy, so using terrain can create nightmares to the enemy tanks . 





Pros:

  • Good sloped frontal hull and turret give lots of ricochets, with relatively few weakspots
  • Superb agility and good top speed
  • Low profile and good camouflage values
  • Two choices of good top guns
  • Very high HEAT penetration


Cons:

  • Poor gun depression
  • Driver tends to die often, and ammo rack is relatively weak, below average HP pool
  • Subpar AP penetration with both the D-10T2S and D-54 guns
  • Mediocre shell velocity with the D-10T2S makes it less than ideal for sniping
  • Poor accuracy, aim time, and dispersion values with the D-54
