The K-91 is a Soviet tier 10 medium tank.
The vehicle was developed by the Design Bureau of the Army Engineering Committee under the supervision of A. F. Kravtsev from March through August 1949. The tank was supposed to position a driver in the fighting compartment, as well as feature a 100 mm gun with an automatic loading system, and coaxial large-caliber machinegun. The plan was to mount the 12-cylinder opposed-piston turbo-diesel engine. The mounting brackets with ski-shaped supports were used as support rollers. Development of the project was discontinued at the blueprints stage in December 1949.
The K-91 marks the end of its Soviet medium line.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Outstanding DPM, penetration and shell velocity, and good accuracy
- Oddly shaped turret can be surprisingly bouncy
- Low profile, great camouflage values
- Good top speed, acceleration and agility
- Very good gun depression (only over the sides)
Cons:
- Low alpha damage
- The turret is rear-mounted, with a limited traverse arc
- Gun depression is a mere -5° over the hull
- Premium ammunition have vastly inferior velocity compared to standard ammunition
- Unique playstyle for a medium tank, more similar to a tank destroyer
Performance
This tank is all about the gun - it is hands down one of the best medium guns in the game, with the only lacking stat being alpha damage. It possesses the second highest standard penetration (Leopard 1 is 2 mm higher) of any Tier X medium (capable of reliably penetrating Maus cheeks or Type 5 cupola) along with simply absurd DPM, accuracy and aim time. The K-91 is hilariously effective when played at range, having amazing camo values and a fantastic sniping gun, you can easily whittle health of enemies down without them even knowing where you are, in a similar manner to a high tier Swedish TD.
However, the tank is let down by the platform the gun sits on. The armour is not on the same level as the other Soviet Tier X meds, with a bulge in the turret that is easy to penetrate and a poorly armoured hull - most tanks that shoot you will penetrate you unless your oddly shaped turret pull off some miracle ricochets. Furthermore, the tank cannot turn its turret a full 360 degrees, which makes it very risky to brawl with. This tank is often compared to the Leopard 1 due to the similarities in play styles, with the K-91 being better for sniping and raw damage output, and the Leopard 1 having the higher alpha, better dispersion/gun handling peek-a-boo capability and flexibility due to the fully traversable turret.
Stay back, use your speed to take advantageous positions, and abuse the camouflage and sublime gun and the K-91 is a serious force to be reckoned with.

Historical Accuracy Errata
There were two K-91s, one rear turreted and one front turreted. The tank in game takes the turret of the front turreted version and simply moves it back, making it an unhistorical combination. In reality the two vehicles had completely different hulls and turrets.
