TVP T 50/51
{{TankData|Tank=
|The TVP is very fast and mobile, has a low full magazine reload (compared to other tier 10 autoloaders) and an insane reload between each magazine. The tank is often compared to the Bat.-Châtillon 25 t as they both share the same lowest hit points of any tier 10, both have dangerous autoloaders and are both very fast; both excel in certain categories. For instance the BatChat has much more magazine potential damage (1950) while the TVP only has a (1280) magazine potetinial. You might think that the BatChat is a clear winner but although the BatChat can deal more damage, it does it over a longer period of time (10.73 seconds from the first shot) while the TVP on the other hand deals its full magazine out in only 4.5 seconds from the first shot. 4.5 seconds is quicker than every other non-autoloader tier 10 tank in the game. So if you shoot a TVP and you are not equipped in an autoloader, then expect 1280 of your hit points gone before you can even get a chance to fire another shell back at it (unless you can get in cover of course). The gun is what makes the tank, it's fast, it's accurate and the full magazine reload is not bad at all.
The TVP is a tricky tank to play but in the hands of a skilled player it can be your worst nightmare.

|InTheGame_performance= A fast, agile, but poorly armored tank, the TVP T 50/51 is defined by its rather unique autoloader gun. On paper, the 100mm AK1 seems to be rather underwhelming for a Tier 10 autoloader gun, as its burst damage is limited to 1280 points on average if all four shots in the clip penetrate. That being said, this gun enjoys a quick clip reload, and most of all it can fire all shells in less than five seconds, greatly limiting the time the TVP needs to expose itself while firing on its targets.
It is best to play this tank as a mobile sniper and firing support platform, using its high top speed and agility, as well as good gun depression and viewrange, to find optimal firing positions (preferably at mid-long range) to help teammates by delivering rapid bursts of damage. The shell velocity and accuracy are not top tier, but are good enough to allow fairly effective sniping.
As with other autoloaders, the TVP T 50/51 becomes more dangerous the longer it stays alive. Conserving health and being opportunistic when engaging enemies can lead to a late game scenario where the TVP is mostly intact, whereas many enemy tanks are heavily damaged and/or isolated. This allows the TVP to rush unwary enemies and finish them off if their health is low enough, as well as pick on isolated tanks that have no way to react in time to the TVP's quick bursts.
Due to its lack of armor and low hitpoint pool, this tank can be pretty tricky to do well with. With proper caution and taking calculated risks however, it can be a very dangerous presence on the battlefield.
