Crew:
- Commander (Radio Operator)
- Driver
- Gunner
- Loader
Advantages:
- 152mm can easily damage multiple modules on tanks with large areas of paper armor, capable of doing 1k damage
- One of few tanks in the game that gets non-premium HEAT shells (for 152mm howitzer)
- With the recent game changes the 90mm receives a decent APCR round instead of the HEP round
- Great gun depression
- Good top speed
Disadvantages:
- Mediocre camo ratings and rather large in comparison to other tier 9 light tanks
- Ammo rack prone to damage
- 152''s low accuracy means that you have to get dangerously close to your enemy to reliably land shots
- 90mm gun has a rather low ammo count in consideration of its fast reload
- Hull is derived from the Bulldog at tier 8, meaning ramming and HE shells can critically damage this tank
Tank description:
The T49 is an American tier 9 light tank.A variant of the M41 light tank with an enlarged turret and 90-mm gun. Trials started on May 5, 1954. The trials were a success, but the tank never saw mass production due to lack of interest from the military authorities.Imagine the KV-2 with small size and agile speed; This is the result of insane combination of the deadly "derp gun" and mobility. When stock, The T49 is just a Bulldog with higher hit points, lower speed and camo ratings. But when it received the deadly 152mm gun, The T49 becomes one of the most dangerous enemy you''ll face in Tier 9 - 10 ranks, especially if you played lightly armored tanks (Such as in the French line). Its deadly gun can deal up to 1000 damage and can do serious module damage to your tank if lands a critical hit. In exchange, it only has mediocre speed for a light tank and very poor accuracy. Recent gameplay changes has now allowed the T49 be a consistent damage dealer with the changes to the 90mm gun allowing it to fight with other light tanks or medium tanks without resorting to expensive HEAT rounds.The T49 leads to the XM551 Sheridan.
