World of Tanks Console: Arty M53/55 5 Kills Airfield
6US Arty M53/55, 5 Kills, Airfield.
The M53/M55 is an American tier 9 self-propelled gun. SPG on a modified chassis of the M47 medium tank. The prototype was produced in 1952, and in 1956 the SPG entered service in two variants: the M55 for the Army and the M53 for the Marines.
The M53/M55 is an unique vehicle in the American SPG branch. The most noticeable features are the turret and the mobility.
The turret has an impressive gun arc of 60°, which helps aiming without moving the vehicle itself. The mobility is very good, having a high top speed and a nice power to weight ratio. This gives the M53/M55 the mobility to relocate, flee from danger or bring support where needed. Futhermore, the gun has a nice mixture of accuracy, reload, and alpha damage. Also the gun has a good gun depression and elevation in comparison to the other SPG's.
The main downsides of the M53/M55 is that it's quite large, which makes it easy to hit and having a bad camouflage. Another downside is when coming from the M40/M43, is that the radioman is replaced by a second gunner, resulting in breaking the Brothers in Arms perk.
The M53/M55 leads to the T92 HMC.
