The Soviet T-62 medium tank is one of the most exciting vehicles to arrive with War Thunder 1.61 "Road to Glory"
Let’s meet this new top-tier Soviet medium tank!
The Soviet T-62 medium tank is the direct successor to the T-55 and T-54, but was, unlike either of them, created to fight directly against enemy armoured vehicles. A tank with a job like this is first of all a cannon – and it was with the cannon that the development of the T-62 began. By the end of the 50s, it became clear that Soviet tanks were no longer capable of confidently fighting the latest tanks from the West on an equal footing. This led to a decision in 1959 to perform experimental design works with a view to mounting a 115 mm cannon in the turret of a T-55 medium tank. After tests in the factory and on the training ground, the vehicle was designated the T-62 and the first series rolled off the production line as early as 1961. The tank turned out to be a great success – roughly 20,000 vehicles of this model were produced, and the several countries friendly to the USSR purchased a license to produce them.
The T-62 has been in the pipeline for War Thunder for a long time, since the tank’s chassis served as a base for several other very interesting vehicles from the Cold War era. One of them, the IT-1 missile vehicle, we presented in a previous update, War Thunder 1.59: Flaming Arrows. Now it’s time for the T-62 itself to burst onto the battlefield in War Thunder.

The T-62 will take a top-tier position in War Thunder in the Soviet medium tank tech tree, immediately after the T-54 tanks. The T-62 has identical armour to the T-54 and comparable mobility, but a more powerful cannon, with two types of armour-piercing fin-stabilized discarding-sabot shells (APFSDS), high-explosive shells, and of course, hollow-charge non-rotating shells with the ability to pierce armour up to 440 mm in thickness. The high caliber of the cannon has its cost in the form of increased reload time, amounting to a 12 seconds for an experienced crew.
The T-62’s chief opponent in the game will be the top-tier tanks of the US and Great Britain, primarily the M60, M60A1 and the Chieftain Mk III, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages in comparison to the T-62. As for which tank is to become the most effective in high-ranked battles, that’s up to the players – to the front, tankers! See you in War Thunder update 1.61 "Road to Glory"!

It is beautiful. Cant wait to kill some capitalist with this thing ))). But since you mentioned it, do we also get the T 55 ?
The only difference between the T-54 and T-55 was NBC(Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) protection. Same chassis, engine, gun and setup overall was the same. So unless WT implements NBC into game, I don't see much of a point...
Layin_Scunion, You can find out how wrong you are even by visiting the humble Wikipedia. If you want to know how REALLY wrong you are you can visit a website dedicated to armor and check all their differences.
This can't be serious... it will fight ww2 hull Tiger 105mm and Maus right? Joke...
1 word: leopard 1A1
Polski_Doge, leopards are oneshoot ...
This is a nice addition to the game. I was wondering if Germany will also be receiving a new top end tank too?
Leopard 1A1A1
Holy mother of God, it has APFSDS. *Insert wild orgasm here*
I guess the 105s and 120s will receive their APFSDS soon...
kololz, hahahahahahahaha, yea keep dreaming.
Why not premium? Like brumbär?
I'm sure the ammo will probably be.
Because it's Tier 5 there's no Tier 5 premiums
i cant wait to see how they're gonna bug the armor on this one.
It's Soviet tank, if anything it's gonna be overbuffed armor
Yeah, "bug"... right...
Will the APFSDS be implemented in USA and Germany, British?
Most likely NO! And I suppose they won't fix M551 top speed, M48A1 completely rude armor model mistakes, IT-1 ammo none explosiveness, That would make USSR tanks too hard to play for angry russian children.
i hope they do along with t-62 getting a bit more modern apfsds (lets hope it isnt the steal core one) 774 for the m60 would give it 400mm of penn at 1km. Chieftain might be troublesome as its apfsds as 560mm.
Noobs crying "Russian Bias" in 3...2...1...
yep, thats what they always do.
well thats what happens when a certain nation gets something thats better at the same or lower br or has ammo that the other nation doesn't have but should have as well.
*Mass-produced Stalinium intensifies* PS- Is the Sd.Kfz 251/22 or the StuG IV gonna make an appearance?
I fear we won't see any of that soon....
Yay, been waiting for this one, glad to see it finally be added, abit late, but nice nontheless. Not sure if you mods will know this, but does it feature the later model turret with 242mm of turret armour? And will it feature the automated shell casing ejection system?
The turret with 242mm of turret armor is from 1972, while it would in no way OP, angry wehraboos wouldn't stop crying on the forums how russians get a 1972 tank, regardless of balancing. Gaijin has probably chose the earlier turret on purpose, But when the dev server comes out I suppose we'll see.
