The T-55AM-1 was the first premium tank i ever bought and the second most profitable for SL, just behind the Sho't Kal Dalet before i put more and more efforts in different trees and relative tanks (premiums and not). A solid tank, for a very solid 8.3 and 8.7 line-up with is brother T-62M-1 that kicks hard thanks to that 3BM28 sabot and the missile are just a plus gimmick (works fine for overpressure light vehicles or for the 55AM, to deal with some heavy targets, like the Conqueror with add-on armor that is resiliant to the 3BM25); now with trying to grind out Swedish tanks at 7.7, i remember why i bought it and how painfull is fighting that, even knowing the M728 APDS is able to pen the UFP or aiming directly at the barrel to have a chance. At least HESH shells launched in the cupola still decapitate it...i'm sorry i should said 🅱️ESH, because it's funny to knock-out a T-55 (and many other targets) with those rounds from a cheese wedge🤣
@@ruska9773 Something tells me you never played it cause it's a really mid tank overall, never ever saw a single match where the t-55 stomped anyone, ever.
@@ruska9773 yeah? There are T-55am every match at Russia 8.3 never ever saw anyone perform as you say, but I guess everyone is Arnold Schwarzenegger on the internet
You forgot to mention, all T-54s, T-55s, and T-62s with a " -1 " designation have uprated engines. Plus, the issue with the gunner sight is the backup telescopic sight is used instead of the digital sight for some reason
would recommend this over the TURMS 100% of the time. Very high win rate when played correctly, can easily carry matches especially in those sweet 7.3 downtiers. Still grinds USSR top tier just as fast as the TURMS, RP multiplier is sliiiiiiiiightly lower but the better games you will get in this thing will make up for it all the time. I used the T-55AM1,and i was able to get the T-64B, T-80B, T-80U, T-80BVM, and 2S6 in just 15 days, playing 2-3 hours a day.
@@MIG31foxhound74keep moving, use smokes and HSS to escape, abuse the laser range finder and you'll have no problems. I picked it up yesterday and have 10 deaths and 55 kills, it's a very good tank
Love your content Justin. I have been holding getting it to fill my Russian 8.3 line up but you have me convinced. I usually play 7.3 French with AML and AMX13-90, one of my highlights is wrecking the AM-1 and T62 that with the AML. Set one on fire, then the second one. Finished both it was intense.
Idk if I'm the only one but i kinda want to see what an updated 45mm from a BT-5 would look like , like what if we rebuilt one to fire APFSDS and small missiles and what pen both would have
APBC is the BEST round for t55 and its the last russian tanks before you start suffering with heat.. i spaded my t55a in a day or two in ground assault arcade(then the rp gain was better) and at the time because of its BR it gets put with top tier. its not great for frontal shots, but just a little bit of side armour and you'll be one shotting m1a1s, etc. where i noticed most top tier usually 2 shot them with darts and was confused at first to why the m1s or leos next to me were struggling with side shots when i was basically one shotting targets
So apbc is the best round because it 1 shots on side armor… like every other dam shot if u can aim not like a monkey.. but useless on front lmao no thanks good luck wit ur shyty apbc
Why the am 1 is still at 8.3 is beyond me its like the situation with the bmp 2M. It took a buff the vehicle didnt need for it to finally go up in br and its still borderline OP.
yeah that exist in realistic for years if you dont have parts and your cannon is broken u can fire but the penetretion is degressed by a lot but if u have heat rounds u can still pen
@@marco8414 I agree, now that the hype for it kinda died down the APS alone does not make it 8.7 worth, since the extra protection against HEAT rounds on the turret found on the premium T-55AM-1 is usually more useful
I was going to say I wanted a abrams with tusk package but then I realized gaijin would make it 30mm against kinetic and 400mm against chemical making it a downgrade because it would just make the tank way more sluggish.
@@JustinPlaysTV Its not very common since Parts is a very low RP cost and most people you see have parts but by god its a life saver if you don't have it. Just the other day I was in a fight against a CV90 and it took our my barrel and was lucky enough to get a HEAT round off and kill it.
The lack of good hull protection against darts and a huge breech is still why i think this was downtiered from 8.7 to 8.3. The same reason goes for the T-62M1 which was absolutelly fine at 9.0 and had a decent reverse speed and manouvrability as does the T-55AM(i also think the 62m1 is better than the 64a) but whatever
@@trollingisavirtue4159 i know this but i still take the better reverse speed. Also arent overperforming russian stats which any other sane player and developer considers as a bug, thought of as features by the heads of gaijin?
Though the T-55AM is certainly good for its BR, and objectively better than the T-55A (except for the gunner sight, which is a downgrade), I wouldn't rank it as one of the best at its BR. It inherits the bad reload rate/turret traverse/gun elevation speed/gun depression of the base T-55A, and the top speed/mobility is still sub-par. Having a laser range finder and being one of the few tanks at 8.3 with armor that can take a hit in the front helps, but overall the AM still behaves like the standard T-55A. That being said, if you find the AM impressive, I think you will also find the original T-55A to be way too good for its BR of 8.0/8.3 (I forgor). I have it, I think it looks really cool, and I enjoy playing it every now and then but compared to things like the Object 906 (not only in terms of performance for the BR but directly i.e scouting+mobility+top speed forwards/reverse+4s reload+same pen APCBC) or the AMD (ability to rush ATGM armed light tanks, can even shoot down main gun rounds fired by the BMP-1) it doesn't offer much. 7.3/7.7 tanks not being able to lolpen you in areas from the front is not that impressive, and the meta at 8.0+ is defined by firepower+mobility and not armor+low(ish) profile (that comes at the expense of the former two aspects). I'd rather get the TURMST if I was looking for a soviet prem to grind out the tech tree. I think the Soviets are way stronger at 9.7 than at 8.3 (SU-7BKL/BMK, P/V Hinds, T72B, BMP-2M, etc.), and the TURMST (unlike the T-55AM) holds up at higher BRs. TLDR The things the AM improves on are not exactly the things that were holding back the base model to begin with IMO.
The number of clueless TURMtards really holds Russia back, despite the strong 9.7 lineup - you're probably gonna have sub 40% winrates due to all the one-death-leavers. If you're willing to deal with that, then the TURM is a great tank at 9.7. I personally would stick with the T-55AM due to more consistent teams, but at the end of the day, both tanks are good choices.
This tank makes playing 7.3 Britain, USA, France, and Sweden a living nightmare. If your gun isn't an 105 L7 canon or a 120 mm conqueror your tank doesn't stand a chance against this thing's composite armor. Not to mention it's firepower and mobility are also amazing. I have it but don't use it in downtiers because it's just blatantly unfair to the opponent.
Hey justin, just wondering if you are making a fl10 review since that it is now available now till the 18th? I would love to see a up to date review of the vehicle.
6.7? Karelia is like 5.7 max, anything higher and it's just a die-fest. Same thing with Mozdok and so many other maps. Gaijin loves to add new vehicles but they can't design a map for the life of them.
You may have not covered this vehicle in a while but remember you covered the AMD-1 and that was basically the exact same thing (minus the premium bonuses obviously) but I'm still bothered it went up to 8.7, that aps system is really not that big of a deal to warrant a br change.

That of40 on Karelia had no parts so he was able to fire but with less accuracy and velocity, been in rb for at least a year and a half
Try the whole time Tanks have been out.
AM-1 is definitely better than the AMD-1, as the HEAT protection is much more useful than an APS. Plus the AMD-1 being up tiered is worse off.
you should’ve made the title “brezhnevs brows”
Hey Justin, let’s take a trip down memory lane. Revisit the ztz 96. It was the first video I ever watched from your channel.

T55 AM1 is one of my favorites. USSR 8.3 top 3 line up for me. Lots of fun....
That tank might be a coffin on the modern battlefield but I love it
i went to see this tank in a museum today and you uploaded a video about the exact same tank i saw. Nice timing lol
I opened 4 crates today, and the last one was a KV-220. Me is very happy.
Also, loved the video.
From 19:00 it was like you were looking at a RTS gameplay from a close wiev, when both players are tank spamming.
Pure chaos and carnage!

If I had the spare money would definitely buy it, am at the 8.0 t55 and loving it
By far one of my favourite tanks still don't know why it's 8.3
(Really wish more T54/55s would be added and the BTRs)
Guess what, it was moved down cause at 8.7 was complete shit. The amd should go down too imo
yeah that exist in realistic for years if you dont have parts and your cannon is broken u can fire but the penetretion is degressed by a lot but if u have heat rounds u can still pen
Rule of thumb on my pov:
Powerful enemies with gun depression, destroy cannon pipe works all the time.
The first one got me laughing harder than I should have but it was funny anyways
My favorite tank in game, I was so pissed the raised the t55amd to 8.7
the AMD really needs to go to 8.3, the stock grind for it is already crappy and the APS barely even works. It's just a T-55A with missiles and smoke.
@@marco8414 I agree, now that the hype for it kinda died down the APS alone does not make it 8.7 worth, since the extra protection against HEAT rounds on the turret found on the premium T-55AM-1 is usually more useful
Stock Vehicules, since they can't repair, they can shoot their broken gun after a long cooldown.
T55am-1-PzBtl-90b-flugab 2 is my favirote tank
The nemesis of my HEAT/missile-heavy 8.0 USA lineup.
Do you think the t90m should be added along with maybe the m1a2 sep
I personally don't think Russia needs another top tier MBT but if they do add it they need to add equivalents for other nations.
I was going to say I wanted a abrams with tusk package but then I realized gaijin would make it 30mm against kinetic and 400mm against chemical making it a downgrade because it would just make the tank way more sluggish.
Somehow this is the same BR as the chieftan MK3 ... this things easily the most broken OP premium ground vehicle .
I find it funny that amx30s are at the same br as this thing.
so the T-55AM can pen every russian tank with its APHE using specific weakspots
Great now could we have a Ariete revisit
This thing is also immune to most french HEAT rounds!, pain...
