T57 Heavy Tank - Father of the T54E1

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)
