The Object 430 Version II is a Soviet tier 9 medium tank.
Developed at the Construction Bureau of Factory No. 73 in early 1953. From March 8 through March 10, 1953, the Ministry of Transport and Heavy Engineering considered the project, along with an alternate version of the tank with a more conventional configuration. However, the development was eventually discontinued.
A peer of the T-54, the Object 430 II is a flexible multipurpose medium. Sporting sturdy armor, respectable firepower, and good mobility on a small, well camouflaged chassis, this is balanced by the clumsiness that comes with the limited turret and poor gun depression.
The Object 430 Version II leads to the K-91.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- High damage-per-minute with the 100mm M-63
- Thick, well sloped frontal hull armour and massive frontal turret armour
- Reasonable agility
- Small stature and high camouflage
- Tank is very capable stock, especially compared to the T-54 and other tier 9 mediums
Cons:
- Choice between the bad gun handling of the 100mm D-54 or the low AP penetration of the 100mm M-63, despite rebalance of the D
- Weaker lower front hull plate than the T-54
- Slow shell velocity
- Rear-mounted turret with only 180 degrees of traverse
- Bad (4 degrees) gun depression
Performance
The Object 430 Version II is in some ways similar to the T-54, but distinguishes itself in more than a few ways as well. It is armed with effectively the same guns as the T-54. Both have rather lackluster penetration for a Tier IX medium tank (201 for the M-63, 219 for the D-54) which can be offset to a lesser extent by their premium HEAT rounds, which boost the penetration to a ridiculous 330 mm. This is, however, very expensive to run, and HEAT rounds are not without their own limitations. The M-63 has vastly superior gun handling to the D-54, and is usually the better choice, especially since both guns have the same HEAT round. The D-54's higher base penetration is sometimes useful, as is its much higher shell velocity, but the poor aim time and worse accuracy can be a big dealbreaker.
Unlike the relatively fragile Object 416, the 430 II is blessed with some of the strongest armor of any Tier IX medium tank. The 430 II's turret is almost impenetrable to standard AP rounds from all but the most powerful tank destroyer guns. It does not have any real weakspots, although it can occasionally be penetrated if the enemy is lucky enough to hit a flat spot and get a high penetration roll. The upper front plate of the hull is also very strong, better angled than that of the T-54 while having the same thickness. However, the lower plate is not well-angled, and can be penetrated by even Tier 8s, and should be hidden whenever possible. The side armor is also very good, which makes reverse-angling a very viable tactic. The 430 II is also blessed with a small silhouette and great camouflage values, giving a very tough and survivable package altogether.
The 430 II has a lower power/weight ratio than the T-54, but this is partially compensated for with better terrain resistance values. Its mobility is mostly comparable to the T-54's, although it will struggle somewhat more when climbing hills. The agility also helps compensate for the limited traverse of the turret.
Overall, the 430 II plays similarly to the T-54, but with two very important limitations in mind. Firstly, the poorer gun depression requires excellent knowledge of terrain in order to offset this weakness. Locations that a T-54 may be able to use to go hulldown may not be suitable for the 430 II. The weaker lower plate also means that the 430 II has to pay more attention to hiding it than the T-54 does. However, the 430 II is uniquely suited to reverse-angling thanks to its rear turret configuration and strong armor. If the hull can be hidden, it presents one of the strongest armor profiles in its tier. The low AP penetration and good mobility also means that it is best suited to the flanking playstyle of the T-54, unless using the very expensive HEAT round.
Early Research
- Research the Object 430 II Enhanced turret.
- Next, the 5TD engine should be equipped.
- The upgraded 430 II Enhanced tracks should be your next target.
- If desired, research the 100mm D-54.
- If you have not already done so, finalize the grind by researching the 10RT-26 radio.
