Hello everyone,
Russian videomaker Amway921 published a footage of the upcoming tier 8 Soviet premium medium tank, T-54 Model 1945 (AKA T-54 Prototype).
Basically, it’s a T-54 hull with T-44 turret. You can read more about its history here and read more about its historical characteristics here.
The hull is pretty durable, but the vehicle is quite slow as you can see.
Hull armor: 120/90/45 (60 degrees UPF, 45 LFP)
Turret armor: 180/120/75
Turret traverse: 40 deg/s
Maximum speed: 44/18 km/h (observed in video: 35-40 on flat, 25-35 uphill)
Engine: 520hp
The gun is D-10T:
Penetration: 175/235/50
Damage: 250/250/330
ROF: 7,41
Accuracy: 0,38
Aimtime: 2,6
It will not have limited MM. Preliminary price is 11600 gold. Basically, it’s a poor mobility T-54 with somewhat meh gun but okay armor. If you are into Super Pershing, I guess you could go for it, but for me, it’s not an attractive vehicle. Still, with that amount of armor, it will bully lower tiers.
It can do anything a super Pershing can do, just better because stronk stronk developers.
Except for that tiny thing where the Super Pershing has limited MM and this doesn’t
For the armour, gun and mobility, it looks like an IS-6. Of course, D-30 gun is less accurate, but it packs a punch. But IS-6 has a limited MM and it’s overall quite OP for low tier games.
Well, it looks like it will be completely inferior to the Type 59 except for the hull armour
of course. They can’t make something that rivals the Type 59 in any way or the Type would lose it’s awesome value as a special special tank :)
Thor_Hammerschlag are you kidding? it has no pref MM, the speed is total disgarce for a med so good luck flanking. And by the looks of it, the gun aim time and bloom is as huge as the IS-6′s gun.
LOL!! only a downright tomato would have problem damaging this slow heavy tank.
Oh wait!!
If that gets t10s..oh hell no
I want IS-5 video :D :D ! :( !
more clones, please!
no limited MM with that gun?
T-44 and several other tier 8 mediums say hi.
Tier 8 mediums too OP.
( yeah, no… they mostly under-preform for their tier compared to heavies making a tier 8 medium worse than them because of that is problematic. )
1852 dpm is worse than the already quite shitty DPM of most tier 8 mediums ( T-44, Pershing ) to boot and it has worse accuracy!
Except the t44 is mobile. That thing is a slug. Piece of junk.
hell only 34 ammo :/
Don’t be too trigger happy.
Even if you don’t miss 25% of your shots; you won’t be able to take out many tier 10.
I don’t undestand anything, but there are Disturbed playing in the background. (y)
“It will not have limited MM.”
Aaand there goes another into the trashcan. Good job WG, keep making tanks no one wants to buy.
Yay more money that I won’t be giving to Wargaming. Instead I shall buy elite : dangerous.
Limited MM: “Russian bias, f*** WG.”
Regular MM: “Trash tank, i’m not gonna buy that shit!”
Oh FTR readers…
Good luck in t10 battles, awesome mobility and decent gun! It’s worse than Panther 8,8.
T-44 the worst medium in the game, and it’s much worse. Now this shit values about 5-6k gold. With limited mm maximum 10k.
Type 59 and T-34-3 have limited mm, all heavies with 175 pen have limited mm……
T-44 has awesome mobility and camo… Its far from the worst. I’d crown the Panther 2 as the worst. Still it is far from the best.
So take a t-44 and give it the idiot gun, and stock engine. Sure the armor is a little better but Damn people fling premium ammo like it’s their standard shell so armor means jack all now.
There goes my russian medium crew trainer.. No way i will buy this shit.
it sure looks like WG just wont ever release any premium medium that wouldnt be complete shit. This one could be maybe used as a heavy in T8 stronkholds, except worse than is-6 :D WG just went full retard with premium tanks… panther 88 which is possibly better than regular panther 2 (which itself is really shit), now this thing, a medium which will absolutely murder everything when top tier and be 100% useless when in T10 games, but i guess thats the price people who buy this will pay for being uberop machines of death when top tier.
With a flat 180 turret front and a 1852 DPM the T29 and Tiger I will have no problems facing this thing, honestly. This tank is mildly more mobile than either but not enough to flank them, it’s like trying to flank a Type 59 in a T-44, it won’t happen.. It’s gun handling combined with low penetration will be less than fun when you have to keep moving in this thing because it doesn’t really have the armour of a heavy nor the mobility of a medium ( centurion isn’t a medium, MBT and all that, and centurion actually has a gun ) .
Of course it still is better than the IS a tier lower, but the IS is one of the worst heavies at it’s tier if it weren’t for it’s ridiculous alpha making Peek-a-boo extremely potent and the gun handling on it is so bad that it will accidentally hit strong spots on tanks quite often making this thing with it’s troll hull armour and turret cheeks an unhappy encounter. ( of course it could still high-roll by 5 mm and hit the gunmantlet penetrating it )
if it has the same turret shape as t-44 there will be no less than 190 effective on the turret front, and that only on tiny parts which you cant even aim for. Also it has better armor than any T8 heavy/medium tank in the game (who cares about side armor in a corridor? and even that is better than every medium and most heavies) with mobility better than any T8 heavy that has even average armor for T8. So i dont see how its gonna be bad when top tier. And against T8s that gun doesnt matter.
The turret front is flat, it is 180 on the manlet just like the turret on the T-44 has an exactly 120 mm thick mantlet the overlap where it is thicker is harder to hit than miss even with the IS gun. The T-44 turret design is garbage thanks to the terrible unsloped gunmanlet this is not a Tiger 1 where the gunmanlet is troll.
It does not have better armour than tier 8 heavies with the exception of the french oversized medium autoloaders. It lower frontal plate might be smaller, yes but it’s upper frontal plate is effectively penetrable by anything with 190+ penetration and even 175 mm can go through when un-angled.
I’m pretty sure that angling this thing properly against a Tiger I will result in the upper plate bouncing everything.
Also the turret is not a big argument, as you have yet to see the actual armor values.
Lol…. Not afraid of Tiger 1s in this tank. If be afraid of any tier 9/10 and any tier 8 with decent mobility.
190 effective..so what. Tiger1 and t29 and panther and panther2/88 and jg88 can shoot reg ammo straight through you. All t9s can..dont even think about 10s. This tank is utter trash without limited mm.

Annnnnd another premium I won’t be buying. Thanks Wargaming for keeping my money in the bank and not spent on your game. Lol. Idiots.
I wonder if they make AMX CDC video anytime soon :)
My credit card is waiting for this one. When i comes out i’ll get it before it’s removed from the stores.
kinda hard to buy this tank if it’s 11k gold as SS stated w/o limited MM. It’s like panther 8.8 that will bait players to buy this tank then WG will offer refund or give gold difference and make it a $35 something price. Unless this tank will sell very well because players thought this might work like type59 or t-54.
WG, there goes your funding of the moonbase. Best moneygrab chance in history, gone just like dat. XD
Armor is so useless in this game anyways… Can’t pen that other tank? No problem.. Load gold! Now sometimes this doesn’t work. Like the t-44 shooting a t-62a frontally.. For me apcr wouldn’t even pen and I couldn’t get a side shot on it due to how mobile it was. Yeah that doesn’t happen often but against this t-54 prototype you will be bombarded with premium shells and you’ll be in tier 10 matches flinging 100% gold.
If you don’t believe me about armor being useless look at the super Pershing. It’s a pile of crap. Crap pen, crap aim time crap accuracy and crap frontal armor. Or look at the kv-5. I’d rather have the amx cdc. Although it is more vulnerable to he shells but I would rather take less armor for a much better gun or mobility. Just like how I really love the amx 13-90 due to its mobility and gun. Just run when someone looks at you or use your hp at the end of a match. I could go on and on but I won’t.
yes same thats cos the game is about doing damage and not taking it. So give me a good gun with depression and im sold
175 mm pen and no limited MM….So nice! Panther 8.8 has a little brother now!
Except the p88 has workable pen and is a sniper. This tank will blow sniping and has completely garbage pen at t10.
wow i didnt think this would be possible but this thing makes the lowe look good. (and that things is the biggest piece of shit out of all the premiums at tier 8 at the moment)
also my reaction when i read will no have limited matchmaking was “im not touching that with a 10 foot pole” hell i wouldnt touch it if it was 3000 gold.
Awwww WG …..why???? Just take our money and give it limited mm…no one is going to call 175 pen at T8 OP , its pretty bad for the tier and it gets even worse in T9 but in T 10, in a slow tank that has armor that’s worthless at that tier???? Why????
