Description
Equipped with the optional random posing helmet guy upgrade package.
It kind of looks like a Soviet T-54/55 from this angle
Before I knew about this tank, I thought it was Russian - it sounds Russian by the name, right?
Yeah US tank naming can be confusing sometimes. If an American tank has the letter "T"(stands for Trial/Test) in it's name that means it's an experimental or prototype. Similar to the Russian practice of calling experimental vehicles "Object".
If it has the letter "M"(Model) in it's name it means it was officially accepted for service by the military and mass produced. Example: The M26 Pershing was designated T26 before it finished trials and got approved by the military.
Also American tanks almost never have a - in their name like Russian tanks do. For example everyone knows the Russian "T-34" medium tank from WWII. But the US also had a "T34" of their own, which was an experimental heavy tank.
That makes alot of fricken sense
