The 55AM-1 isn’t exactly a speed demon either, though certainly better than the likes of the Olifant 1A.
yeah its not fast but faster than the STRV and Olifant
The APFSDS T-55A has is among the worst.
Honestly why would anyone use the apfsds when you get russian bullshit angle performance on the br412d round ? only reason to have a few apfsds rounds is in case you meet a mouse or being lazy…
Wait, were these tanks not part of the decompression BR changes? If so then this br update is just a soft buff to Russia that they definitely don’t need.
If that’s so, the tanks that dodged the Decompression are as follows:
Xm-1
T-10M
T-10A
T-55a
T-55AM-1
T-72a
Both T-64s
2s25
I might be missing some, but this is pretty blatant if only Russian tanks and a few prems are exempt.
That Gaijin would favor a Russian premium is inconceivable.
T-55A, T-55AM-1, T-62, T-62M-1 and T-64A are all moving up
Sure because the Chinese get different treatment most OP prem right now are Chinese because people play more Rus so they cry about them avoiding the problem of other nations
Weirdly, Gaijin is up-tier stuff because ppl crying but avoiding serious problems in other nations because not many ppl play them seems to me Data works only if ppl cry.
Chinese tanks are superior to the T-55AM-1 and AMD-1 by far. There is not different treatment.
T-55AM-1 is inferior to all BR 9.0 Chinese tanks/
Simply dont know how to reply, this guy seem like he has not played soviet t55a, as it is incredible with the 9m117, it can pen anything going up to 9.0, apfsds is also much better than things like ztz69 which enjoys much better mobility but suffers a 215 pen apfsds. The leopards don’t even have a full set of modernised kit, like the lacking of a stabilizer. The m60ao1 is not better as it does not have a LRF, but an ORF, it has a m728 shot, which has similar pen to 3bm 3, but less direct pen than 3bm25. The t55am1 have one of the best protection in the BR, as the hull can fend off m728s, and meanwhile have a cheek composite protection enough to fend off 120mm dm23. I completely do not understand the point mad about Vickers, as t55As are massively superior in both armour and firepower especially with the 9m117.

Just check his stats, he only play soviets so dont waste your time.
T-55AMD-1 and AM-1 should be moved to 9.0.

And in fact, apparently they should even be better in terms of armor, since that added armor was added to update them by giving them armor similar to the T-72A. I remember that in the post they talk about the real armor of Soviet tanks It was mentioned that in general terms the Soviets endure more than they should, but when it comes to those T-55s they endure less.
And yes, they should have a higher Br, after all they are tanks from the late 70s, and I am facing them with a 1965 Leopard 1.
T55AM-1 and AMD=1 are 8.7 Chinese have no turret additional armor as ZTZ59A but have better Sabot and Laser Rangefinder at 8.0 not to mention totally broken WMA-301 at 8.7 with pure openness missile and Thermals
WMA-301 is 9.0, not 8.7, and it’s a rather terrible vehicle.
How is it OP, it is just a DM23+9M117M. DM23 could be seen as low as 8.3, 9M117M is just the same a s the BMP-3, which makes it no better. The Thermals are the same as BMP-3, so I don’t see it being OP, it has not depression or elevation, no reverse (8km/h), 8.7s reload, which is no better than TAM2IP, so why is it OP being much similar to TAM.
