The T 55A is a German tier 9 premium medium tank.
An upgraded version of the T-55 tank. The T 55A had a higher level of nuclear protection and no bow machinegun. From 1962 through 1970, about 1,800 of the T-55 and T 55A tanks were supplied to East Germany by the U.S.S.R.
The T-55A is available as a reward for completing the third set of Personal Missions. This tank is also unique for being the only tier 9 premium in the game.

Performance
The T 55A is similar to the T-54 yet has more in common with the T-62A. The noticeably weaker hull armor doesn't allow you to be as aggressive as in a T-54, however your turret armor and side armor are the same so you still can sidescrape or stay hull down if possible and needed. Your superior gun handling gives you the edge and makes snap shots extremely potent and likely to hit even on the move. Therefore you should focus more on flanking and quick snap shots, however your short aim time combined with the very good accuracy also makes long range fights a real option. If caught in a close encounter, afraid not -- the D-10T2S gun has also a high rate of fire only seconded by the same gun on the T-54 (that doesn't handle really well), the Obj. 430 II (which is a sniping tank with limited gun traverse, not so competitive in this case) or a few smaller calibre guns on other tanks. There will always be some advantage to exploit: either to trade, to simply outgun, or to land the crucial first shot with more precise.
The reduced top speed in comparison is perceptible, but not dramatic - in most cases your quick acceleration and very good terrain resistance values make you no less as mobile.
