The <value_unset_error> is a [[|]] tier .
<value_unset_error>
When hopping out of the T25 AT and into the T28, the biggest difference is that the T28 is quite slow. This tank has better speed values than the T95, but not by much, so both tanks are an easy target for artillery. The frontal armor is very good for its tier, unlike that of its turreted brother the T28 Prototype, although the lower part of the armor is weaker. The 120mm AT gun can bring down even the strongest opponents with its rapid fire and good damage and accuracy. The only things the driver needs to worry about are its side and rear armor, as they are quite thin, allowing quick movers to take you down with ease. Be patient, stay in cover, and provide support for your allies and the T28 will prepare you greatly for the monster T95. Historicaly the T28 and T95 were the same but WG took it's libertys with the "T28" in game.
The <value_unset_error> marks the end of its line.

Player Opinion
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Good damage, penetration and accuracy
- Strong frontal armour
- better camouflage, when comparing to T28 Prototype
Cons:
- Slow moving and traversing speed, maiking it vulnerable to SPG's
- Weak side and rear armor
- Cupola weak spots
- Lower hull plate is penetrated easily with 200mm+ penetrating guns.
Early Research
You may have the Tier X radio from other lines and the 105mm from the T25 AT, but you will need to equip the tracks to be able to mount the 120mm. Then you should research the engine, which is the same one that is in the T95.

Historical Info
Development
The T28 was designed to be used for attacking the heavy defences expected of the German Siegfried Line.
Two prototypes of the T28 were built. They underwent evaluation at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds and the Fort Knox facilities until 1947. In 1947 one of the T28s was heavily damaged by an engine fire during trials at Yuma Proving Grounds and scrapped, and the other T28 was reported broken up and also sold for scrap. The T28 never went into service.
Surviving Vehicle
In 1974 the last prototype was discovered abandoned in a back field at Fort Belvoir, Virginia. It is unknown where it spent the intervening 27 years. It is the sole remaining example of these tanks and was exhibited at the Patton Museum of Cavalry and Armor in Kentucky.
Design
The T28 was designed and manufactured by Pacific Car and Foundry. The mechanical superstructure was taken from a T23. The original plan was to build five prototype vehicles, with a production total of 25. Its total weight when fully equipped would have reached 95 short tons (86 tonnes). To carry this weight, it used four tracks instead of two, each 12.9 inches (328 mm) wide. The outer tracks could be detached for easier transport. After removal they could be fixed together to make a unit that could be towed behind the tank. Due to its extreme weight and low engine power, the T28 had extremely limited obstacle-crossing ability and could not cross any of the portable bridges available at the time, and so was considered impractical in the field and not suitable for production.
