Pros and cons

Pros

• Special tank, so it makes extra credits
• Very high HEAT penetration, only beaten by the Leopard 1 and T-62
• Good rate of fire
• Very flat with a thick turret; it can hull-down in most types of cover
• Well armored and sloped upper glacis
• Good accuracy for an MBT
• Extremely high turret traverse, only beaten by the Leopard 1
• The ICE version comes with a level 5 crew

Cons

• Worse damage per shot of all tier 3 MBTs
• Relatively poor AP ammo
• Very poor gun depression
• Very short size can make it difficult to shoot over some types of cover
• Weak lower glacis, like most Soviet tanks
• Poor acceleration and sluggish hull traverse

The all-steel Object 430 has a well-rounded turret; however, its multiple improvements did not increase battlefield survivability beyond that of the T-55 series it was slated to replace. Despite this, elements were borrowed for future successful prototypes.

History

This main battle tank prototype was developed by the Soviet Union to update its existing fleet with a new line of vehicles. Developed during the 1950’s, the vehicle was a radical departure from previous Soviet designs, with a more compact engine as well as a lighter frame. While the prototype itself did not enter production, the design served as the basis for the Object 432, which inspired the creation of the T-64 in 1966.
