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!

Another Russian tank? Great fault Gaijin for not listening to the community!
xa xa xa Comrade! I think you missed WHOLE NEW ITALIAN TECH TREE that will come with next Update!
Oh that will look nice with East German markings...Quick one though, are you thinking of introducing any British CVRT vehicles like the FV101 Scorpion and FV107 Scimitar, I know they are right on the limit 1969/70?
hy gaijin,hows the modern tech tree coming? oh um when are we going to test the m1a1 abrams and f-22 raptor?
o.O O.o o.O
oooooooooooooooooooooooooh <3
So will this lead to modern tanks finally? Also, what happened to the data collected after April Fool's event? Was it successful?
Every April Fool's event is successful :)
get ready boys russia T 55 is here
Oh my. There appears to be Russian Bias.
Will the turret rotation be the same as the T-54?
@Stona_WT
I have a question. I get APFSDS for the 115mm (it's a smoothbore, never had APDS for that gun iirc), but why on T55? if this is the case where a rifled gun gets access to such ammunition, I think the M60A1, Type 74, Leopard 1A1 should also get access to the APFSDS shells. I'm not calling bias here seriously, rather it's not needed for the gun (can easily be circumvented by making the 100mm APDS round as a stock shell or something)
specifically the DM23 for Germany and M735 for US and the Japanese (Chieftain really doesn't need a APFSDS shell tbh, but the L23A1 APFSDS can also be included)
Great an another russian OP tank. When will you add e50 and e75 tanks. Germany needs new tanks.
what is so OP about Russian med tanks???...answer ....nothing....so many of you whining about so called OP not even know why?.
