I review the T-54 mod 1, a tier 8 premium Russian medium tank in World of Tanks (WoT), with a replay of a tier 10 Abbey battle.

The T-54 first prototype is one of the most well-rounded premium tanks at tier 8. Some players regard the tank as overpowered, but I think the limited top speed and AP penetration are meaningful balancing factors.

Strengths and Weaknesses
+ Superb camo (better than some tier 9 lights)
+ Excellent turret protection
+ Excellent upper hull armor (200+mm effective)
+ Excellent aim time (2.2s base)
+ Good acceleration
+ DPM (1875 base) is better than its peers
- Very low top speed (44)
- Low silver AP penetration (190)
- Low HP (1300)
- Low view range (380)

Recommended Equipment
1. Optics
2. VStab
3. Rammer

This video is part of my "Road to Unicum" series in which I share what I learned as I progressed towards account Unicum rating (top 1%) with silver ammo only. I talk through how I'm reading the battle as it unfolds and discuss key decisions and mistakes. My hope is that these videos meaningfully help players improve their gameplay.
