I should have made the note. The credit for discovering this document goes to the Tank Encyclopedia Discord, not mine.
Maybe. Who knows ;)
What’s the difference between T54 and T54E1?
At a glance, the T54 is similar to the T54E2 but uses an autoloader instead of a human loader. It also has a conventional turret design, rather than the oscillating turret with an autoloader found on the T54E1.
Yeah I keep finding that as well, Wikipedia links to Hunicutt, but I can’t find anything more than that
Now we just need the manuals for the T54, T54E1, T57, T69 and T77, those would be goldmines seeing as the info on the T58 online was quit different to the manual specifications (ammo selection, turret rotation speed etc)
So we got the autoloader:
and parts of the turret:
… and got its bulkier sister already in the game …
there’s little to stop this (when E-100 already exists)
Already in better position than the Kranvagn and WZ-111

lowest chance tbh
given the rarity ~ its likely an event vehicle
And a document that suggests it was fully assembled and trialed

Dear mr.snail.
put this in the tech tree, at worst as a squadron vehicle.
please
yours sincerely, Jamal_is_cool1
T57 or T77 plus T69 for TT. Put whatever one (T57 or T77) that isn’t TT, as squadron. 2 premiums is enough for US oscillating tanks. Although, US already has a squadron vehicle at 8.3, so maybe just folder T57/T77 in TT, along with T69 TT, and no more locking US oscillating tanks behind pay walls or excessive grinds.

True, the bigger question is, does the T-69 go foldered with the M48 or after the M103
Well after a slight amount of research, the T69 would probably be more likely to be foldered with M60. It is fairly mobile, and has a fire rate of about 30 rounds per minute (1 round every 2 seconds, 8 rounds in drum), using the M48’s ammo (HEAT, APHE, HESH) plus a rangefinder. The Char 25t sits at 8.0 with a 4 second reload (12 rounds in drum?), no access to HEAT, no rangefinder, but a little more mobile. T69 would probably be 8.3+, would definitely be in the medium tank line.

+1 event or dreams come true tank
Well the T58 already single handedly ruins the 7.7-9.3 range, how much more damage could they do by completing the unholy trinity.
Honestly I would instantly buy the rest of them for sale at a 500% markup due to how ludicrously strong the resulting lineup would be. Having three of these things in one lineup with backups would take sealclubbing to the next level.

I want this thing sooooooo bad. It’s the best looking oscillating turret design for me, and by a long shot. Such a beautiful turret. I would literally buy this if it came to WT, I WANT IT SO BAD/
