seems like youre alergic to killing enemies payers
The T-55A isn’t a T-54 with a stabilized gun, the T-54B is a T-54 with a stabilized gun.

I’m allergic to wasting rounds, letting my enemy know my position, and having to wait to reload, yes.
In WT, the T-55A is just a T-54 with a stabilized gun and a slightly faster turret traverse. I’m not talking about the T-55A’s night vision equipment.
The t-55a is fine where it is at APCBC with HE filler is diabolical with a full gun stabilizer. That should honestly be your main shell with the APFSDS as back up in case of something heavier. Most tanks 7.3 to 9.3 can be easily penned by that APCBC which results in consistent one shots or heavy crits. I mean think of it this way. Imagine being in an M47 in full up teirs against that tank, in regular engagements you’re at a pretty big disadvantage against a fully stabilize tank with a 100mm gun vs your instablized 90mm.
The APDS is incorrectly performing. It is stronger than the steel APFSDS in real life
So you explain exactly how its better than its predecessor and you insist they should be the same BR?
What if T-54s deserved to go to 7.7 ?
Full stabilization is a game changer on it’s own, now add slightly better gun handling + dart and I think that “upgrade” is worth more than just a single BR step.
T-54s are very sad vehicles, one of few mediums that suffer from “higher tier heavies syndrome” in which they trade most (if not all) things for armor, just to have it negated by vast majority of things at it’s BR.

They dont. T-54s are more than capable enough to deal with vehicles around its own BR. Just cause you can’t appreciate the great gun doesn’t mean its bad
T-54s armor only work against auto cannons and APHEs found in downtiers. Outside of that they have same effective armor as other tanks at 8.0 but lose on gun handling, gun depression, reload speed, mobility, etc.
Yeah, T-54s have APHE and those will make you hate your life if you go against anything decently armored, so APDS at that tier is much more versatile and can pretty much OHK anything it comes against.

Just going to comment;
T-55A and T-62 still have the aimed rate of fire so it isn’t really accurate. 7 RPM includes the gun recoiling, ejecting the shell, and time to aim the gun.
Just for context in a T-34 85 it can, for about 15 rounds;
Load at ~4.6-5s
Shoot at 1 target ~6.5s
But this is actually true for most lower tier tanks. The rate of fire is utterly divorced from reality, and this hurts armored tanks the most.
But then T-54s should go to 7.7, and the Chinese T-59s too. Type 69IIa absolutely deserve to be moved down cause that thing sucks, it doesn’t even have apfsds like the T-55a
T-55A could be 8.0 with the APFSDS removed and the reload nerfed to the values stated in the T-55 manual sure. Otherwise T-55A is one of the strongest vehicles at 8.3 as it is.

most retarded thing ive ever read. this must be from someone who doesnt understand how to play the game at all. t55 at the same br as the leo 1…seriously?
Well, realistically, the T-55A and the Leopard 1 are more or less from the same era. The problem is that since the developers haven’t bothered to make a minimally realistic game, they’ve made many stabilizers work too well, many tanks have suspensions that are too soft when braking, and the maps are generally not suitable for real tank combat, making tanks with certain advantages useless.

The APFSDS round is reason enough for the T55A to be 8.3, but the tank also boasts decent frontal armor, enough to stop conventional APCBC shells Autocannons which is what matter at those BRs. In downteirs to 7.3 you curb stomp. But the big reason it is 8.3 is these items and the fact it has a fantastic APCBC shell with explosive filler and a gun stabilizer. I rock the T55A while mainly using APCBC and annihilate everything. The APFSDS is only used when i run into a Maus, hull down T32’s and thats about it. Every enemy vehicle at that battlerating can be frontally penned with APCBC no problem, and because it has HE filler, your chamces of one shotting your enemies is almost certain. The T55A at 8.0 would be a nightmare to deal with in fully downteired games. It already stomps in 7.3 games and is great even at 9.3. Remember most coldwar NATO MBTs weren’t designed to have bulky armor. Mobility and universal usage became the META then and so in order to have a tank become an MBT it had to be able to do everything, which means you have to be light enough to be mobile which means thinng armor plates. 240mm of pen on the APCBC shell nocks out Leopards, Type 74s, M60s, M48s, M47s, OF-40s, AMX-30s, and any light tank with ease. The only tanks you may need to use APFSDS on are the later heavies like the M103, Maus, Conqerour, etc.
In addition Rangefinders can help, but many vehicles in other nations dont get them and also dont get stabilizers and APFSDS, so its a mixed bag. It could be worse. The T-55A could be an 8.7 IMO, but 8.3 is fine. 8.0 would be unbalanced.

That dart is just a copy paste of the APDS, it’s one of the worst darts in the game.
Most things can stop autocannon rounds at that BR and APDS/HEAT took over at that BR so armor against, what is basically a WW2 shell, is less important.
It’s also worth noting that it has subpar gun handling, gun depression and reload speed, which definitely outweigh any armor advantage this thing has.
Simply not true.
Just lol.
