The T-54 first prototype is a Soviet tier 8 premium medium tank.
Developed at Factory No. 183 in 1944. It was based on the T-44, with many components modified to enhance the armor and armament of the new vehicle. According to one source, the first prototype was built at the end of 1944. However, some other sources mention another date—January 1945. The tank underwent trials in March and April 1945, but never entered mass production.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Low profile
- Thick, well-sloped hull armour for a medium
- Acceptable aim time and accuracy (little less than the LB-1 on the T-44)
- Thick armour on the turret
- Acceptable gun depression for a Soviet medium tank
Cons:
- Very low ammo capacity
- Relatively slow for a medium tank
- Second worst penetration of all Tier 8 medium tanks (tied with the T-44)
- Poor damage-per-minute, outclassed by nearly all Tier 8 medium tanks and even some Tier 7 ones
- Poor hitpoint pool
Performance
The T-54 first prototype is effectively a T-44 with increased armour and hitpoints at the cost of mobility and speed. It makes up for its lack of speed and firepower with thick frontal armour, allowing it to bounce quite a few shots. The 175mm of penetration on its AP shells makes it almost impossible to penetrate higher tier opponents head on, and even from the side in certain cases. Angling the armour makes it very hard to penetrate with 120mm of hull armour and 180mm of turret armour. With a good position, it can bounce many tier 8 and some tier 9 tanks. However, with only 34 shell capacity, running out of ammo in this tank is a real possibility.
