+ | Object 430 is an experimental Soviet tank. After the war, the T-54 medium tank became the standard tank for the Soviet army, but as the 50′s came and went, it became more and more clear that its original armament, maneuverability and armor configuration started lagging behind the western world trends and that the T-54′s will have more and more trouble dealing with contemporary western tanks. Therefore, several tank development programs were started with the goal of creating a vehicle, that would outperform anything it could meet on the battlefield. | |||
+ | ||||
+ | In the Kharkov mechanical plant (ZIM, Factory named after V.A.Malischev – a Stalin-era politician), a new department (KB-60M) was created specially for this purpose, it was led by the plant chief designers J.I.Baran and A.A.Morozov. In 1953, this department finished a preliminary project idea for the new tank, designated “T-64″, which was approved by the army. The project was officially started in April 1954 and recieved the designation '''“Object 430″.''' The sketches were ready by the end of 1954 and in May 1955, work began on the technical project itself. This all was finished by June 1955 and a wooden mockup was made. | |||
+ | ||||
+ | First two prototypes were made in 1957 and they recieved the designations “Object 430-1*Z” and “Object 430-2*Z” (Z here means “trial” apparently). These protypes were tested by the factory and also trialed against another experimental Soviet tank, Object 140. A number of defects (especially regarding the engine) were revealed during the trials, but overall the tests were considered successful. By June 1958, the plant was ordered to build 3 more prototypes for the military to test on polygons. These were designated “Object 430-1*P, 430-2*P and 430-3*P”. These prototypes were ready in December 1959 and were tested thoroughly in two stages from March 1960 to May 1961. | |||
+ | ||||
+ | The result of the testing committee was, that while all the development program goals were met and '''Object 430''' is essentially ready for serial production, it does not represent much of an improvement over the T-54. Furthermore, other experimental tanks (Object 165 and Object 166 – otherwise known as T-62A and T-62) also passed the tests by that time, but their advantage was that some of their parts were unified with the T-54. Therefore, since there was such a reserve in T-54 improvement potential and since '''Object 430''' didn’t represent that much of an upgrade over the T-54, the project was cancelled on 17.2.1961. The intended “T-64″ designation was then passed to Object 432. | |||
+ | ||||
+ | There was also a project for a up-armored '''Object 430U''' (“uluchennij” – improved, or “usilenij” – strenghtened) with a 122mm D-25T gun. The frontal hull armor was improved to 160mm (120mm on original Object 430). The turret was also reworked in order to improve its protection and to install the 122mm D-25T gun. The development of the '''Object 430U''' was stopped, by its parameters, it was effectively a heavy tank and the Soviets already had a post-war heavy tank program (which resulted in T-10) and didn’t need another one. | |||

The Object 430 is a Soviet tier 9 medium tank.
A prototype of this medium tank was developed from 1953 through 1957 to replace the T-54. Soviet authorities wanted a tank with greater nuclear survivability and firepower, so in 1961 the project was discontinued in favor of the Object 432. Several prototypes of the vehicle were manufactured.
The Object 430 leads to the Object 430U.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Very high damage per minute
- Excellent camo rating, better than the Batchat 25 t
- Highly sloped hull armor is respectable for a tier X medium
- Good soft stats
- Low chance of engine fire (10%)
Cons:
- Turret is not as well-armored as its brothers, the armor zones are weaker, roof is very weak
- Tied for the lowest average damage per shot for tier X meds at 320
- Mediocre gun depression
- Inferior to the other tier X Russian meds in almost every metric
- Cannot take any hits from artillery
Performance
The Object 430 is very similar to its two brothers and plays like them, but is overall weaker. It sacrifices, accuracy, aim time, and turret armor for slightly improved hull armor and camo. It is still a good tank, and very powerful in the hands of a skilled player.
Ideally you want to make use of the tank's decent turret armor and camo-sniping capability. Choose spots where the lack of gun depression won't hamper you and you can expose only your turret when firing. With its good speed, camo, and view range the tank is a serviceable scout and good flanker. Make sure to maximize your strengths and flex around the battlefield as needed.
In comparison to its two sister tanks, the Object 430 has the highest camouflage values, and best effective frontal hull armor.

In the Kharkov mechanical plant (ZIM, Factory named after V.A.Malischev – a Stalin-era politician), a new department (KB-60M) was created specially for this purpose, it was led by the plant chief designers J.I.Baran and A.A.Morozov.
