Obsolete and completely outdated by modern standards, the T-55 is essentially a museum piece on treads like the T-34.

The coaxial SGMT on the other hand, is pre-loaded with one 250-round belt box and has a further four boxes in reserve. The standard loadout of the T-55 gives it 22 rounds of high-explosive (HE) and 21 rounds of high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) shells for the main gun. It is now armed with a 100 mm rifled gun and has a coaxially-mounted 7.62 mm medium machine gun. Returning in ArmA 2, the T-55 continues to serve as a lighter counterpart to the heavier T-72 tank. This is a premium asset that requires ownership of the Operation Arrowhead expansion pack.

There is no delay for swapping between munition types. It can achieve a fire rate of ~ 7 rounds per minute and accuracy-wise, has a fixed dispersion of 0.002 rad regardless of range. NOTE: For specifics on the Cannon 105 mm's munitions, see its related section listed here.Īll weapon systems are controlled by the gunner position: The T-55 has 300 points worth of armour plating. It is unable to transport any passengers. The T-55 supports a crew of three, consisting of the driver, a gunner, and the commander. Handling-wise, it isn't that much better than the M60A3 and has poor mobility when climbing up steep hills. The T-55 has an inferior top speed compared to both the M60A3 and T-72. The T-55's main advantage over the M60A3 is its lower turret profile, which makes it slightly easier to maintain a hull-down position. Both possess the exact same primary armament (a 105 mm cannon) and have identical resistance to damage to anti-tank weapons.

Performance-wise however, the T-55 is more in-line with the M60A3 when it comes to both firepower and armour plating. The sole heavily armoured vehicle available to Nogovan guerilla fighters, the T-55 serves roughly in the same role as the American M60A3 and the Soviet T-72 Medium Tanks.Īlthough its underpowered main gun renders it helpless against heavy tanks, T-55s work well as IFV destroyers. The gunner also has access to a coaxial 7.62 mm machine gun which feeds from a single 500-round belt. The T-55 is armed with a 105 mm rifled gun that can load 70 rounds of armour-piercing (AP) or high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) shells the T-55 carries 35 rounds worth of each type, respectively.

When it was first introduced for service in 1958, it was one of the most powerful tanks in the world, and prompted the development of the American M60A3 Patton. Visually identical to the older Soviet-made T-54, the T-55 is designed to be an improvement over its predecessor (which itself was designed to replace the iconic Second World War-era T-34 tank).
