The Vz. 55 is a Czechoslovakian tier 10 heavy tank.
A blueprint project for a heavy tank from the late 1950s to the early 1960s. It combined concepts of the Soviet and Czechoslovakian tank-building schools with original solutions. The project was discontinued due to the unification of armament of Warsaw Pact countries. No prototypes were built.
The Vz. 55 marks the end of its Czechoslovakian heavy line.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
+Good burst potential at 980 average
+Good base 260 AP penetration
+Very good mobility and decent gun depression
+Decently quick reload and intraclip (2.5 seconds after nerf) with good gun handling
+Reasonable armor
Cons:
-Low 306 APCR penetration
-Low 2100 HP
-Actually weak weakspots (sizable lower plate and commander's cupola)
-Fairly long aim time
-High penetration dropoff at range for APCR (306-266)
Performance
More or less an example of a jack-of-all-trades tank. The VZ 55 features high alpha damage, incredibly quick clip and intraclip reload, great gun handling, great mobility, decent gun depression and reasonable armor. Both 1 and 2 shot guns are good in their own right, as the 2-shot gun enables for a rapid-damaging support role, while the single shot gun gives better "dpm fight" capabilities.
Using the stock gun makes you similar to an Object 277, however that tank has slightly better mobility and trademark soviet side armour, meanwhile the VZ 55's side armour is mostly flat, however there is a point near the bottom of the tank where the armour angles downwards, much like on an American tank, meaning shots aimed too low will ricochet off this 55mm angled plate or even miss the tank entirely, this angled plate also extends partway behind your front roller, a shot that tracks you may not damage you if poorly aimed, a trick the 277 cannot replicate. Your gun also reloads faster, aims better and even without the capability to mount a rammer, your reload is very similar to the 277. The 277 however has the advantage of HEAT rounds, which not only have much higher penetration than your APCR rounds, and they're not much slower either.
Much like the T95/FV4201, it can be played in both heavy lanes and medium flanks. The VZ has a decent P/W ratio and top speed (50km stock, can be boosted by field mods and equipment). With its -8 degrees of gun depression, hull-down tactics significantly bolster the effectiveness of the armor. Be sure to wiggle or hide your cupola though, since it is relatively weak compared to the rest of the turret armor and most tier 10s can penetrate it with standard ammo.
