T-54 tank lightweight guide World of Tanks




This tank due to its maneuverability must carry out those combat missions, which the conventional T-54 would have been impossible. Historically, the project was proposed in May 1949, but work on it was suspended in view of inexpediency.

General information.
It's a light tank of the eighth level, in appearance similar to the classic T-54, the only difference is that the fuel tanks in the rear of the hull and the machine gun on the tower are removed. It has a high speed of 69 km / h, lack of armor and a poor gun. The speed of the data is not very large, the spread is huge, so in the style of PT, from a long distance, you can not fire. Dynamics and maneuverability - super. The tank is very bright, fast, that is, it fully corresponds to its class of equipment.

More about the main features:
Cannon:
• Damage is 250 units.
• Armor penetration is 175 mm.
• Rate of fire - 7.32 mm.
Engine :
• Power - 700 hp.
• The maximum speed is 69 km / h.

Recommended equipment:
Equipping the tank with additional equipment should be in accordance with the tasks that it will perform.
Active light: "springs", "enlightened optics", "improved ventilation".
Passive light: "stereotube", "camouflage net", "improved ventilation"
Universal light: "stereotube", "enlightened optics", "improved ventilation".
But there is also the fourth option, which is very much worth trying. It is well suited for those who will use the lightened T-54 as an average tank. In this case, it is necessary to put "improved ventilation", "vertical stabilizer" and "sender".

Equipment.
In spite of what tactics you prefer, equipment should be chosen as standard: first-aid kit, repair kit and fire extinguisher.

Crew.
• Commander - the sixth sense, for the warning of the light and the eagle eye, which raises the view.
• Gunner - smooth turn of the turret, sniper.
• Mechanic driver - off-road king - for secure bonding to the ground and a ramman.
• Charging - non-contact ammunition.

As a third ability, you can learn "combat brotherhood" or "disguise."

Strengths.
• Excellent dynamics. You will accelerate to 69 km / h - this is a very good indicator.
• High chassis turning speed - your only specific for this parameter is WZ-132.
• Not a bad booking for the LT class.
• An impressive mass, which allows you to "press" other fireflies with a battering ram.
• Good supply of HP.

Weak sides.
• Poor vertical alignment angles.
• Very long cannon reduction. Additional equipment only a little saves the situation.
• Mild DPM even compared to classmates.
• Frequent "crits" of the bombing.
• A fire hazard motor.
• Mediocre review. Part of this defect is eliminated by "enlightened optics".

The battle tactics on the T-54 are light.
Try to do some "ololo-rush": speed and armor allow you to survive under intense enemy fire. You can arrange a real mess on the enemy base or chase other light tanks.
The second tactic implies a neat light. Stand behind the mound, get out, illuminate and dive back. And so several times. The main thing is, do not engage the enemy in open firefights.
