Tankspot 8: T1 M1921

The T1 M1921 was a strange tank to find information on. The tank itself did exist, and models of it do exist in the game files but no one quite knows what it is or when it will be released.

Known Stats:

Tier: 3

Classification: Medium

Tech Tree: Unknown

Gun Type: 6pndr (57mm) Canon

Wikipedia Info: Designed in 1921 at the Rock Island Arsenal plant, it was tested at Aberdeen in February 1922. It had a British cable and suspension track design and used several engines (from 220hp Murray-Tregurtha to 338hp V12 Liberty), allowing it to go as fast as 26 km/h (16 km/h with weaker engine). It weighted 18,6 tons and was armed with a contemporary British 6pdr (57mm), along with a 30cal MG. The armor values I haven't found, but they most likely are very thin. This vehicle never got to be manufactured.

Tankspot 7: T54E2

Tankspot is back everybody! This time we are diving deep into the interwebs to find info and stats on unreleased American tanks! First up is the T54E2.

Known Stats:

Tier: 9

Classification: Medium

Tech Tree: Premium Tank

Gun Type: 105mm Canon (Non-Autoloader)

Wikipedia Information: "The T54 was a series of prototype American tanks of the 1950s with three different turrets, all armed with a 105mm gun, mounted on the M48 Patton chassis. The original T54 had a conventional turret with an autoloader, while the turret on T54E1 was of an oscillating design with an autoloader and the one on T54E2 was conventional with a human loader. The turret on T54E1 was similar to that of the T69 in its oscillating design and in that it held a crew of three and a nine-round drum autoloader under the gun. The T54E1 was abandoned in 1956 and in 1957 the entire project was cancelled in favor of the T95."

My guess is that this tank was supposed to be released a patch before, or in the same patch as the US auto-loader line as a tier 9 medium or teaser / crew trainer (much like the Matilda BP). The tank was most likely scrapped due to WGs policy of having no premiums over tier 8 purchasable for gold or the superiority of the T54E1.
