The Object 907 is a Soviet tier 10 premium medium tank.
The decision to start development of a next-generation medium tank simultaneously while improving the T-54 was made on July 13, 1953. Development was carried out by Research Institute No. 100. The project was submitted in February—March 1954, and, in April 1955, the hull of the new vehicle was tested for shell resistance. However, the project was later canceled due to its complexity.
This tank was available as a reward tank along with the M60, VK 72.01K, and T95E6 for the top 3000 players on the NA server and top 11000 players on the EU server who had gained the most fame points during the 3rd, 4th and 5th Clan Wars Campaigns.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Extremely trollish armor layouts: this tank actually has V-shaped hull, which absorbs shot in corners of lower plate and most portions of the suspension; upper glacis is curved, with very thick weld seam on edges. Sides may able to bounce some shots when angled
- Very strong turret, also bouncy even from the sides; has strip of spaced armor protecting the turret ring and hull roof
- 3rd highest DPM among all mediums, also decent penetration and good gun handling
- Very strong side armor on the hull
- Decent all-around mobility and great agility
Cons:
- Poor alpha damage and below average depression on gun
- Turret roof is rather large, easily overmatched by mid-large calibre, and marked clearly by a line for easy targeting.
- Exceptionally vulnerable ammo rack due to weak module HP and tight internal emplacement
- Low ammunition count

Historical Info
On 20.5.1952, Ministry of Defense industry of USSR organized a meeting with tank constructors and with the marshal of tank forces, I.S.Bogdanov, to discuss the future of armored forces development. The result of this meeting was a set of tank requirements from 18.6.1952. The resulting tank was to be better than T-54 - that was however no easy tasks and several teams (notably from plants no. 75, 174, 183 and research institute no.100) were tasked to make a preliminary study. The design, produced by the research institute was designated "Object 907" and - as requested - its armor was significantly better than the one of the T-54. From 1954 to 1956 the metal prototypes of the hull and turret were manufactured in order to conduct armor tests and to find ways to improve the protection even more (see the T-22 medium history section for more details on the metal prototypes).
There two variants of the hull. The first hull was cast as whole, the second was welded from cast components. After the tests, the protection levels of the vehicle were found to be significantly higher than the ones of the T-54 (by as much as 30 percent). The turret was (thanks to its angles) as well protected as the one of the T-10 heavy tank.
The vehicle was to be equipped with the 100mm D-10T gun, but there was a plan to install even the 122mm M-62 gun. It was to be propelled by the 700hp B12-5 diesel engine with two transmission types: hydrodynamic (like in T-54) and mechanical (like in T-34).
The vehicle stayed in the semi-prototype phase, apparently because by the time it was introduced, the production of T-54 tanks was already underway.
