This vehicle was, according to its designers, to solve tactical problems where using regular T-54 tanks was not practical. Note that the Chinese actually went even further and reduced not only the armor, but also the size of the original tanks, creating the Type 62 by miniaturizing Type 59. That happened of course more than a decade later. Apparently, this project never progressed past the drawing board stage. | This vehicle was, according to its designers, to solve tactical problems where using regular T-54 tanks was not practical.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Strong turret and hull armor for a light tank
- Great on the move accuracy and rate of fire
- Great HP
- Great horsepower/ton ratio considering its armor
Cons:
- Mediocre gun depression and accuracy
- Armor is insufficient against higher tiers
- Limited shell capacity (34 rounds), as of 9.18 it carries 40 rounds.
- Slightly weaker pen than most tier 9 Light Tanks, compensated by better agility than alot of them
- Weaker frontal hull than LTTB
Performance
Avoid direct confrontations in early battle. Instead, scout for bigger guns on your team and skirmish with enemy light tanks. The T-54 ltwt excels against enemy light tanks due to its thick and well sloped armor. Avoid battle with higher tier mediums due to their significantly improved firepower, unless flanking. Late game, act as a highly mobile assassin. In tier 9 games, the T-54 can play as a highly mobile medium tank, whilst in tier 10 scouting is advised over medium tank performance. Make use of turret armor, but do not rely on it too much as the cheeks and cupolas can be penetrated by most enemies.
Early Research
If grinding from stock, the engine should be your top priority. It gives a huge boost to acceleration, maneuverability, and top speed. The top gun should come secondary as it improves your rate of fire and aim time. Alternatively, the upgraded suspension significantly reduces the terrain resistance (around 20%) and therefore makes your vehicle more maneuverable. Only upgrade the radio if you plan on keeping the tank or using it in competitive gameplay.

Historical Info
The turret shape was modified to remove the frontal shot trap. Its frontal armor was also reduced from (T-54) 200mm to 180mm, the sides were reduced from 160mm to 120mm, the turret roof from 30mm to 20mm and the rear from 65mm to 60mm. The roadwheels were also to be a bit smaller (810mm diameter reduced to 790mm), torsion bars were also thinner (52mm to 42mm diameter) and the tank of course was lighter. Its weight was projected 31 tons. It was to armed with the D-10T 100mm gun, the power-to-weight ration was to be 16,8hp/t (using the 520hp T-54 engine) and its maximum speed was to be 58,7 km/h.

Historical Accuracy Errata
The lightweight variant was to be fitted with the same 520 hp engine on the T-54. In World of Tanks, however, the former has almost twice the engine power.
- Only the 100 mm D10T gun was proposed for this tank. The "D-10TM" designation is fictitious.
