When Your Tank Is A Giant Revolver

One of my favorite premium tanks in the US tank tech tree is the T54E1 medium tank, which combines the hull of an M48 Patton with an oscillating turret. The T54E1 has a nine-round drum autoloader fixed to the turret's vertical portion, essentially making it a giant 105mm revolver. Gameplay with the T54E1 is pretty enjoyable and I would say it's worth buying just for that, but if you're expecting to get high win rates with it, lower those expectations. You get uptiered constantly and have to slug it out with the plethora of powerful Soviet / Russian tanks in that battle rating range, most of which are stabilized. Gaijin could probably lower it to 7.7 and it wouldn't cause trouble.

@legaroojack1251 Год назад

@@petrkdn8224 yeah, they get easily shit on by tanks that use HEATFS and have a speed advantage which negates the one advantage of heavy tanks...that being the armour.

@rhystaylor851 Год назад

@@petrkdn8224 yeah I have a good track record with the IS4 too, but it does get dunked on in uptiers. It's the high pen AP and stabilizers that just totally outclass it

@a.b.3455 Год назад

You really can't compare the T32E1 and IS-4M to the Maus, while they are at the same BR both of them are way worse then the maus.

@legaroojack1251 Год назад

@@petrkdn8224 good for you bro, now lets get back to reality where I can point out basic facts. The only thing that heavies beat light tanks at is their post pen damage because most of them especially the Russian heavies still use APHE. However because of their armour they are significantly slower than light tanks. Heavy tanks also have slower fire rates and have slower response times. This mixed in with their high penetration guns gives light tanks a distinct advantage over heavy tanks in any situation except for close quarters fighting and even then the nature of light tanks still gives them an advantage. Yes heavies do have better armour, but its mainly superficial against the majority of rounds at that tier unless you're in a downtier or you're facing the odd tank that doesn't use HEATFS or sabot. I mainly play heavies, I don't really like light tanks and my k/d in my maus is around 3. So its not like I'm just shit at heavy tanks and want to complain. I'm simply pointing out the facts of how the vehicles play and what their advantages are. Light tanks counter heavy tanks with speed and penetration. It is what it is.

@rhystaylor851 Год назад

@@petrkdn8224 again, I have good stats in the IS4. This doesn't mean it isn't seriously outmatched by most things at that tier at range. Comparatively worse shell velocity, reload, and pen. You really wanna snipe on Kursk vs an M60 AOS or Conq?

@dullen2810 Год назад

As far as I'm aware there is also the T69, a program designed to fit a 90mm autoloader in an oscillating turret for the T42, which was supposed to be the replacement for the M46. On the other end of the scale there are the T57 and T58, designed to fit 120mm and 155mm autoloaders in oscillating turrets for the M103.

T57 was 120mm on T43 (technically before M103), T77 was the same turret but on M48 so 1 less roadwhell essentially. The 155mm was T58.

@neyowargear5732 Год назад

The T77 was a T48/M48 hull with a lightened version of the T57 HT's turret w/ a 120mm. While the T58 was a T57 with a larger turret with the 155mm, both using the M103 prototype's hull.

When I had my Xbox, I played World of Tanks, and they had an auto loader tank free for the us. Not all of them had auto loaders, but it was M41, T49(prototype Sheridan if I’m not mistaken), t69, T54e1, and the T57 heavy. A tank with a 120mm gun and a 4 round auto loader.

So I bought it and the little T117 or whatever the heck the 3 round auto loader freak show is, and they make a good pair. Hard to use the two at first because the mix of BR range, and of course the uptiers, but they’re so powerful. The T54 is probably my favorite tank in the game. Clean and smooth, but gotta be careful because you’re slowly getting to guided missiles from IFVs and the first real MBTs showing up. It’s fun and Hell all in one inconvenient package.

I would love to see more oscillating turret in the game, i like them, that would give me a reason to grind the USA if they add some in the regular tech tree. France doesn't have enough in my opinion, we can and need more, like our whole process of making tank was putting an oscillating turret on EVERY ducking chassis we could find, we need our FL 20 turret in the game, atleast this one have a stab and NVD device which would be a great addition to our collection

@i_nameless_i-jgsdf Год назад

i have this tank and i always using APDS because of greater muzzle velocity, can go through more modules of the vehicle than HEAT which can be stopped by a dead crew, and most importantly it can fly through bushes, trees, fences etc which is very annoying for the HEAT that exploded by random stuff so you can't even hit the target at all. I also noticed that the FoV on T54E1 is much wider than most vehicle, i personally do like it and wish more vehicle have such camera FoV.
