Advantages:
- High burst damage and fast shell cycling with the top 105mm gun
- Excellent DPM, among the best in tier/class
- Turret is covered in oddly angled armor, can lead to surprising ricochets
- Good gun depression
- Can be effective at ramming enemy vehicles
Disadvantages:
- Poor gun handling and long aim time, fires faster than it can aim
- Large size, poor overall armor profile and low camouflage rating, a glass cannon
- Limited ammo capacity with the top gun, also does not have access to HE ammunition
- Low top speed, fairly frustrating for a tank with such low armor
- Painful stock grind, the stock gun is completely inadequate
Tank description:
The T54E1 is an American tier 9 heavy tank.A heavy tank with an oscillating turret and magazine loading system, it was developed from the M48 tank in the mid-50s. Two prototypes were built. However, during trials, the magazine loading system proved faulty and development was discontinued in 1957.Although a pretty challenging vehicle to play due to its huge size, sluggish speed, weak armor, and poor gun handling, the T54E1 is made an effective tank by the power of its autoloading guns. The T54E1 is able to bring focused damage to a firefight and is not crippled by a long reload time like many other autoloading tanks. The T54E1 is capable of devastating an enemy force at the opening of hostilities, withdrawing, and then sweeping back in shortly after with a fresh clip to crush the remaining resistance. Effective timing and good support tactics allow a T54E1 driver to achieve victory. Changed from a Medium tank to Heavy tank in update 1.9 to ease the transition from the tier 9 to tier 10 tank in the line.The T54E1 leads to the T57 Heavy Tank.
