The T-50-2 is a Soviet tier 6 premium light tank.
The T-50 is a light tank manufactured at the Kirov Plant in Leningrad. Development of a new light tank to replace the T-26 began in early 1940. In autumn, after studying the design of the Pz.Kpfw. III German medium tank, all technical requirements were laid out. The vehicle's design featured the commander's cupola with all-round observation, and the Commander stopped performing the functions of the Gunner and the Loader. The final requirements were developed in November 1940, and the new tank was designated T-50. At the beginning of 1941, one prototype was built at the Kirov Plant and underwent trials, but never saw service. The project was discontinued in favor of the T-50 developed at Factory No. 174.
The legend has returned. Gifted to all tankers with a 4+ years service record during the "A Well-Deserved Reward" event.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Very high rate of fire
- Good premium APCR rounds
- Very good mobility -- high top speed and acceleration
- Decent gun depression for a Soviet tank
- Small profile and good camouflage values
Cons:
- Low alpha damage and standard ammo penetration
- Small health pool and poor armor
- Poor crew trainer - the commander is also the radio operator
- Very expensive repair bill for a Tier VI tank
- A "premium" in name only; makes credits like a regular tech tree tank
Performance
The T-50-2 is a veteran of the good ol' days; an age where many of the in-game mechanics are still very well under-developed (and at most times abused). With a top speed of 65kph the T-50-2 is arguably one of the quickest tanks in the current tech tree (The Pz. I C being the fastest). However it is a vehicle that was mostly seen by players before the 1.07 patch, so naturally, the T-50-2 is only rewarded to accounts dating more than four years.
The gun has pretty good DPS and penetration, but it's alpha is quite low for a Tier VI vehicle. That's normally not the case due to how nimble this machine is. While it has been toned down in some aspects it is still a very potent light tank. Players can expect to perform some daring drive-bys and even run rings around slower heavies, and constantly being a major headache where the turret traverse speeds can't keep up.
Speed is your biggest strength as it has one of the lowest HP of its tier at 580. Expect to be one-shotted by many Tier VI or higher guns so avoid driving into the crosshairs of a TD or heavy. It's also quite light and small meaning careless players may often drive over the foot of cliffs and end up tipping over in a rather embarrassing way.
With a setup of Commander/Driver/Gunner/Loader the T-50-2 is crew-compatible with the LTG, LTTB, T-50, and T-54 Lightweight.

Suggested Equipment
Documented Tank and Crew Builds
Since this tank is the very definition and icon of active scouting, mount Optics and Vents so that you spot further all the time.
For players that favor combat-recon role more, utilizing a Gun Rammer would be wise. Otherwise, have Binocs so that even when remaining stealth you can still control a large area by providing vision coverage. Another viable option would be the ETB 1t Class if one would like to strengthen its suspension for rough situations.
It's also worth mentioning that T-50-2 is currently the sole exception among LTs above tier V, being NOT able to mount a VStab. Whether this is intentional or forgotten legacy from simply copying the old T-50-2 data is not known.

Historical Info
The project of OKMO in the Factory No. 185 was known as Object 126 or T-126 SP, which later evolved into T-127, and eventually led to the T-50. The competing Factory No. 100 came up with project known as Object 211, some sources name it "T-50-2". It was made in 1941 under the leadership of A. S. Yermolayev. Object 211 was slightly similar to the T-126 SP, it had 2x6 small wheels springed by torsions bars, but in comparison with the T-126 SP, the wheels were differently-made, distance between two whells was different etc. Object 211 also had a differently shaped and angled front armor, longer hull, and differently designed turret with much lower commander's cupola. The armament and engine unit remained the same.
Unfortunately Object 211 did not win the competition because it did not bring any expressive advantages in comparison with the T-126 SP, it was only a little lighter.
The only prototype was deployed in the defense of Leningrad where it was probably destroyed.

Historical Accuracy Errata
45 mm 20K gun is missing.
- The ZiS-4 was only mounted on the T-34-57. Its configuration on the T-50-2 is fake.
