The CS-53 is a Polish tier 8 medium tank.
In the first half of the 1950s, the Military Technical Academy of Warsaw was developing several projects of medium tanks. These projects were greatly influenced by Soviet tank-building. During the development process, Polish experts adopted the technical and configurational concepts used in the experimental, mass-produced Soviet T-54 tank. Existed only in blueprints.
The CS-53 leads to the CS-59.

Performance
A fairly generic Tier 8 medium tank, the CS-53 mostly stands out thanks to its top gun - the 100mm armata wz. 58 enjoys good alpha damage, good gun depression and, more critically, the second-highest premium ammo penetration among Tier 8 medium tanks. It is also worth noting that this tank has a low profile and a very good level of camouflage for a medium tank. Unfortunately, that's all there is to say, as the CS-53 is marred by serious shortcomings: poor gun handling (subpar accuracy, long aim time and poor dispersion values), a weak armor profile that won't get more than lucky ricochets, and a low hitpoint pool (as low as 1200 with the stock turret). It is also a surprisingly sluggish tank, even with the upgraded suspensions and engine, and won't be able to move around the map quickly even in the best of circumstances. Last but not least, whereas on every other Polish medium tank the role of radio operator is taken by the commander, on the CS-53 said role is taken by the loader, meaning players might have to switch crew skills around specifically for this tank as they progress through the line.
Early Research
- Research the 100mm armata wz. 53 gun
- Research the top gun, it's what makes this tank playable
- Research the suspensions
- Research the upgraded turret
- Research the upgraded engine
- The top radio can be skipped, it will unlock automatically upon researching the CS-59
