?|Compared with the T18, the T82 has good speed and excellent view range, but no armor. With this tank you have the choice of three guns: the deceptively excellent 57mm Gun M1 L/50, which is good for sniping with a high RoF and DPM, 75mm Howitzer M1A1 is a high alpha gun with with Good RoF and DPM but low penetration and accuracy. Last but not least 105mm is a howitzer with massive damage and a bit higher penetration than on 75mm with low accuracy and long reload time. T82 should be played from far still even with the howitzers, because you lack armor you are better off being in the secondary lines.+

?The T82 is an extremely different approach to combat compared to its earlier parent the [[T18]] in terms of armor and firepower. Where the [[T18]] was sluggish to turn and had thick armor for its tier, the T82 is extremely fast both speed and turning with only 13mm of armor for protection. However, don't let the lack of armor dismay you, this tank can be a blast to use even in a stock configuration. The tank starts out with the 75mm gun, which if you used on the T18, will still pack a relatively good punch until upgraded. The two other choices will be the 105mm howitzer or the 57mm gun. The 105mm can one shot tanks up to tier 5 like the [[M4]] or [[T-34]] or put a good hurting on [[Heavy Tanks|heavies]]. However, the 105mm is slow to reload, slow to aim, inaccurate, and fires a very slow moving projectile, so either good timing or close in shots are a must (which, with your lack of armor, better be the first and last shot needed, or you may not survive the return fire). On the other side, the 57mm gun provides a different play style. The 57mm gun is extremely accurate, fast firing, and is well suited for long range support. Its penetration is so well that it will be able to realiably penetrate and damage any tank it should face, including the [[KV-1]] from the front. Both guns have different play style and are entirely up to you to decide, and both guns are considered overpowered for tier 3, making the T82 arguably the best tier 3 TD.+

?As an interesting trait, the gun sits high to the point where it almost forms the top of the tank's silhouette, making any form of cover that you can shoot over very effective in protecting the vast majority of your tank if used correctly. This could come in handy where you are trying to protect a lane of approach, since you cannot rely on bouncing any round at all and trying to dodge all of the enemy fire would render your ability to return fire hampered if not eliminated due to the hull mounted gun.+

?* The SCR 210 radio carries over from the T18 and the SCR 506 carries over from the M3 Stuart. In addition, the Continental R-975-C1 engine carries over from both.+
?* Researching the upgraded suspension first is a good place to start since it's cheap.+
?* Next take your pick between the two guns, the 105mm Howitzer or 57mm gun.+
?* Go from there.+

?|History=+
?Development of the T82 started in December 1943. The vehicle was put on trials in August 1944, but was never mass-produced, nor saw service.+
? +
?The T82 was a SPG built by the Heil Company to a specific Ordnance Department requirement for a light vehicle for Pacific theatre of operations. This vehicle was equipped with the M3 105mm howitzer which could fire a 30 pound projectile about 5 miles. The T82 was based on the M5A1 Stuart chassis and could carry 58 rounds of 105mm ammunition.+
