The USSR light tank tech tree currently ends with the post-war PT-76. We present the ASU-85, which will take it's rightful place after the PT-76 in the tree and become a top tank at rank IV. What is the ASU-85?
The ASU, or aviadesantnaya samokhodnaya ustanovka (air-landing self-propelled gun), armed with an 85mm cannon, was developed in the post-war Soviet Union as a vehicle for Soviet airborne landing troops. It was intended to be air-dropped and reinforce infantry in offense or defense with its powerful artillery fire directly on the battlefield. This SPG was the logical successor to the ASU-57, and from 1959, it replaced its predecessor in the forces.

Light, small and agile
The ASU-85 is based on the PT-76 amphibious tank already familiar to our players. To reduce its dimensions and increase its compactness, the ASU-85 received no rotating turret. Its powerful cannon was installed directly in the hull. Outwardly, this makes the ASU similar to other classic self-propelled guns, reduces its profile, allows its crew to work in more comfortable conditions and speeds up the cannon reload time. Obviously, the SPG had to be made as light as possible for airborne transportation and landing. Because of this, it was decided in the design phase not to give it thick armour. As a result, its armour is quite light (45 mm maximum at the front), although it is placed at a high angle on the frontal hull.
In the game, the ASU-85 takes the role of a light and mobile support SPG: Although the 85mm cannon has an ammo complement of just 39 rounds, it can fire with improved post-war ammunition. The vehicle’s small dimensions and low profile are its main advantages in laying an ambush. Quickly capturing an enemy point and lying in wait, or simply ambushing the target in one direction and then change position quickly – this is the style that perfectly suits all owners of this SPG. The important thing is to always take the first shot and don’t get shot in return. If you learn to fire accurately and quickly, and then don’t hang around, you’ll get along just fine with the ASU-85.
This air-landing self-propelled gun will arrive in the game soon™

hey gaijin how about the m56 scorpion for usa?
I have one interesting question. Is this tank going to be spawned same as the other tanks on the ground...or it will be actually paradroped on the battlefield somehow? It would be an interesting feature if its going to be posible to do that.
Quite unnecessary, was waiting for T55 or T62
It is needed. Soviets need more light tanks as they have very few currently.
Meanwhile, I'm just waiting for a Tiger I Ausf. H ... and an actual H, not an early E(That's what the current H1 is - an early Ausf. E)
Whats those red lights on top for?.
If I remember right, they were some sort of Infrared light, they're on the T-10M also. I honestly have no idea what their use was for though.
The infrared lights were for night fighting. They are basically giant spotlights, that can't be seen by the naked eye and only special equipment in tanks can see them, They're more expensive having the equipment for infrared sights, but its much better than being seen by all using giant spotlights
Clearly what this game needs is more late era vehicles which were built to fulfill special purposes that don't exist in our game. And to balance out the blatant sacrifices these vehicles had to make to fit said purposes, we will downtier them because diversity and authenticity! I'd have no problem if they stayed in late tier, provided they had objectives to achieve. But since we're here... what the heck. BMP1 with HEAT and ATGMs for tier 3. Let's get this over with. Why not?
*Tier IV, BR 6.3 or something
If this tank aint at 8.0 i call another op tank at an retarded low br.... yet again..
It's Tier IV after the PT-76, so no way it could be 8.0. Better think about max 6.7 BR.
A very interesting addition to the second Soviet light tank line! That light tank line desperately needs to be flushed out and given more of a fighting chance. Although, I would love to see some more light tanks after the T-80, but before the PT-76. I need a light tank that matches the BR at Tier III with my T-34-57, KV-85, SU-85M, and 94-KM ZiS-12. Surely there's something in your plans or archives that can fit this space?
That will be the ASU-57, not?
I think the 57 is going to be in after the PT, but I could be wrong there. Just take a look at that branch; It's as bad as the Japanese carrier-based bomber branch, both practically barren. I refuse to think that the T-80 was the last light tank the Soviets used in WWII.
Great "Although the 85mm cannon has an ammo complement of just 39 rounds, it can fire with improved post-war ammunition" - probably another tier 4 russian with Heat-Fs or something better...lol
Frontal plate = BOUNCE ZONE AHOY
