Our players already had the chance to familiarise themselves with the T-54 tanks since the early days of War Thunder’s Ground Forces. In Update 1.69, we are eager to present you the much anticipated further development of the T-54, the T-55!
The T-55 medium tank entered service with the Soviet Union at the start of the Cold War as a replacement for the more and more under-equipped T-54. The new tank’s specifications and design was mostly derived from the T-54, having only minor visual differences. The vehicle used the same T-54 chassis, with changes to the armor layout as a result of the additional weight from the new equipment. Since the tank was designed to operate in conditions where weapons of mass destruction could have been used, it had armour with a radiation liner - this also had added armour functionality, where it decreased the chance of internal modules being hit with the spalling effect and reduced the cone of the explosive jet of HEAT rounds. The gun was also modernized - the vehicle had a D-10T2S stabilized cannon. As time went by, older T-54 tanks were subsequently modernized to the T-55 model, leading to the later fusion of the two models under one designation - T-54/55. Over 12000 T-55s were produced, spanning across multiple variants, in the Soviet Union alone from 1958 - 1969.
In War Thunder, the T-55 will continue down the path set by the T-54. Players will now have the chance to further exploit the chassis’s great mobility by utilising the new gun stabilizer and a boosted engine to perform fast flanking attacks, not stopping until the enemy is turned into a burning wreck.

Also, new ammunition will be available for this vehicle - BOPS 3BM-25 and KS 3BK-17 ammo, the first one is the APDS-FS, and the second one is an HEAT-FS round that has reduced ricochet chance.

In short, the T-55 will provide its future commanders with the necessary tools to improve and perfect their skills of brawling and high-speed flanking, acquired from the T-54. This new steel beast is joining the top ranks of the Soviet medium tank line in the upcoming 1.69 Update coming soon!

we all know that eastern germany was equipped with T-55A or something and able to produce this kind of tank, as there is certain game where warsaw pact versus the NATO, so shall it appear in german tech tree?
URAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! axaxax)))
brits need more top tanks USSR has lot of them :/
Have you seen the Japanese tech tree?
And now show us finally new Chieftain or M103A2 :)
Any British aircraft Dev blogs? :)
Now I will continue the Soviet line. I stopped it because of the Japanese, but as there is no fix for missing shell types and wrong models (ST-A1/ST-A2), and in most cases they are totally useless, I will go for one of my favourite tank. Although, it is still sad, that the Japanese are so broken.
So..uhm...I doubt Germany will get this as well, because it wouldnt make sense at all to include the east german ground forces as well as the already existing airforce
Wanna something moar!
surely its about time the br range for ground forces went to at least 9 if not 10
I'm sorry, ive been here from the begining, 2013, did the GF Alpha and all that. Now, let me say Gijin, WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER RUSSIAN TIER 5 TANK. I'm not saying i dont want it added, BUT NOT RIGHT NOW, PRIORITIES GAIGIN! Russia has more tier 5 tanks than the British and Japanese combined! hell! it almost has more premium tanks than Japan has normal tanks! The British have, what 8 or 9 premium tanks?And why only one premium SPAA? theres alot of gaps that need filled in, the T-54 line was not one
USSR really needed a new top tier tank cause the only competible tanks at that tier are the IT-1(that got nerfed) the t62 and the t10m and the t55 would be good since they jumped from t54 to t62 but still i agree that UK needs another chieftan or a top tier vehicle
Russia have more tanks than British and Japanese combined but does that mean they're powerful? No. Those tanks are the same just copycats with some addition but those additions aren't great either. T54 are way worse than leopard,chieftain,m60.
