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.

Pros:

Gun range: stock: 1400 m, top: 1290 m.
Very wide firing arc; gun is mounted on a "pseudo-turret" much like the GW Panther.
Very good speed, acceleration, and traverse, inferior only to French artillery.
Good mix of accuracy, reload, and alpha, along with high shell arc on the upgraded gun.
Upgraded gun weighs less than the stock gun, meaning researching the suspension is not required to mount it.

Cons:

Poor alpha damage with the stock gun. It's only competitive against tier 8 and below.
Large profile and horrific camouflage.
Different Crew setup than the rest of the line (radioman replaced for a second gunner).
No longer fires AP rounds on the 8" howitzer.
