Hey Justin. The OF-40 was able to shoot because of the in game "free" repair kit mechanic (No Parts). It'll show a destroyed breach or barrel, but you can still fire

[@sheevpalpatine7588]

would recommend this over the TURMS 100% of the time. Very high win rate when played correctly, can easily carry matches especially in those sweet 7.3 downtiers. Still grinds USSR top tier just as fast as the TURMS, RP multiplier is sliiiiiiiiightly lower but the better games you will get in this thing will make up for it all the time. I used the T-55AM1,and i was able to get the T-64B, T-80B, T-80U, T-80BVM, and 2S6 in just 15 days, playing 2-3 hours a day.

[@TheArcticFoxxo]

You forgot to mention, all T-54s, T-55s, and T-62s with a " -1 " designation have uprated engines. Plus, the issue with the gunner sight is the backup telescopic sight is used instead of the digital sight for some reason

[@Sh-epard]

The T-55AM-1 was the first premium tank i ever bought and the second most profitable for SL, just behind the Sho't Kal Dalet before i put more and more efforts in different trees and relative tanks (premiums and not). A solid tank, for a very solid 8.3 and 8.7 line-up with is brother T-62M-1 that kicks hard thanks to that 3BM28 sabot and the missile are just a plus gimmick (works fine for overpressure light vehicles or for the 55AM, to deal with some heavy targets, like the Conqueror with add-on armor that is resiliant to the 3BM25); now with trying to grind out Swedish tanks at 7.7, i remember why i bought it and how painfull is fighting that, even knowing the M728 APDS is able to pen the UFP or aiming directly at the barrel to have a chance. At least HESH shells launched in the cupola still decapitate it...i'm sorry i should said 🅱️ESH, because it's funny to knock-out a T-55 (and many other targets) with those rounds from a cheese wedge🤣

[@K.Marx48]

Guess what, it was moved down cause at 8.7 was complete shit. The amd should go down too imo

[@legendaryryan1623]

APBC is the BEST round for t55 and its the last russian tanks before you start suffering with heat.. i spaded my t55a in a day or two in ground assault arcade(then the rp gain was better) and at the time because of its BR it gets put with top tier. its not great for frontal shots, but just a little bit of side armour and you'll be one shotting m1a1s, etc. where i noticed most top tier usually 2 shot them with darts and was confused at first to why the m1s or leos next to me were struggling with side shots when i was basically one shotting targets

[@carkid7640]

So apbc is the best round because it 1 shots on side armor… like every other dam shot if u can aim not like a monkey.. but useless on front lmao no thanks good luck wit ur shyty apbc

I was going to say I wanted a abrams with tusk package but then I realized gaijin would make it 30mm against kinetic and 400mm against chemical making it a downgrade because it would just make the tank way more sluggish.

[@marco8414]

the AMD really needs to go to 8.3, the stock grind for it is already crappy and the APS barely even works. It's just a T-55A with missiles and smoke.

[@maixonmaxfull]

@@marco8414 I agree, now that the hype for it kinda died down the APS alone does not make it 8.7 worth, since the extra protection against HEAT rounds on the turret found on the premium T-55AM-1 is usually more useful

[@larikauranen2159]

The lack of good hull protection against darts and a huge breech is still why i think this was downtiered from 8.7 to 8.3. The same reason goes for the T-62M1 which was absolutelly fine at 9.0 and had a decent reverse speed and manouvrability as does the T-55AM(i also think the 62m1 is better than the 64a) but whatever

[@larikauranen2159]

This tank makes playing 7.3 Britain, USA, France, and Sweden a living nightmare. If your gun isn't an 105 L7 canon or a 120 mm conqueror your tank doesn't stand a chance against this thing's composite armor. Not to mention it's firepower and mobility are also amazing. I have it but don't use it in downtiers because it's just blatantly unfair to the opponent.

[@wuzzlightyear989]

Though the T-55AM is certainly good for its BR, and objectively better than the T-55A (except for the gunner sight, which is a downgrade), I wouldn't rank it as one of the best at its BR. It inherits the bad reload rate/turret traverse/gun elevation speed/gun depression of the base T-55A, and the top speed/mobility is still sub-par. Having a laser range finder and being one of the few tanks at 8.3 with armor that can take a hit in the front helps, but overall the AM still behaves like the standard T-55A. That being said, if you find the AM impressive, I think you will also find the original T-55A to be way too good for its BR of 8.0/8.3 (I forgor). I have it, I think it looks really cool, and I enjoy playing it every now and then but compared to things like the Object 906 (not only in terms of performance for the BR but directly i.e scouting+mobility+top speed forwards/reverse+4s reload+same pen APCBC) or the AMD (ability to rush ATGM armed light tanks, can even shoot down main gun rounds fired by the BMP-1) it doesn't offer much. 7.3/7.7 tanks not being able to lolpen you in areas from the front is not that impressive, and the meta at 8.0+ is defined by firepower+mobility and not armor+low(ish) profile (that comes at the expense of the former two aspects). I'd rather get the TURMST if I was looking for a soviet prem to grind out the tech tree. I think the Soviets are way stronger at 9.7 than at 8.3 (SU-7BKL/BMK, P/V Hinds, T72B, BMP-2M, etc.), and the TURMST (unlike the T-55AM) holds up at higher BRs. TLDR The things the AM improves on are not exactly the things that were holding back the base model to begin with IMO.

[@MrWaddlecake]

The number of clueless TURMtards really holds Russia back, despite the strong 9.7 lineup - you're probably gonna have sub 40% winrates due to all the one-death-leavers. If you're willing to deal with that, then the TURM is a great tank at 9.7. I personally would stick with the T-55AM due to more consistent teams, but at the end of the day, both tanks are good choices.
