When you activate World of Tanks Plus, you'll be rewarded with additional map exclusions, free accessory removal, intensive crew training and exclusive tank rental TS-54. The TS-54 is an M-series gold heavy tank with a double-barreled gun, and in this article we will introduce its current performance.
Good firepower
▲94mm twin tank gun
In World of Tanks, the TS-54 uses twin 94mm guns and has a "twin-gun" system similar to the S-Series 703 Project II, which allows the TS-54 to fire not only single shots, but also twin volleys. Previously, the M-series MTLS-1G14 tank also had 2 main guns, but did not have a "twin-gun" system, so the TS-54 can be called the first M-series "twin-gun" tank. The TS-54's main gun armor-piercing shell had a single damage of 280 points, and the average penetration depth of the armor-piercing shell was 218/252 mm. It takes 7.67 seconds to reload one shell, 5 seconds for the "small load" of alternating fire from two guns, and 2 seconds for both the salvo "charge" and the lock time after the salvo.
▲ Dual main guns
The TS-54 has a more traditional ammunition configuration and is still a combination of AP/APCR/HE. The tank's main gun aiming time was 1.92 seconds, the accuracy was 0.36 per 100 meters, and the spread coefficient performance was as good as other double-barreled tanks. And it also has a good depression angle like other M-series tanks, the gun depression angle of -8 ° allows it to fight in the mountains, it can be said that the TS-54 is quite impressive in terms of firepower, and the unique twin artillery system will definitely please you, both single-shot and "twin-shot salvo", which will obviously be very interesting.
Good maneuverability
▲TS-54 tail
The maneuverability of the TS-54 has improved considerably in recent enhancements. The weight of the car was set to 50 tons, and the maximum engine power was increased to 800 hp, which allowed the tank to successfully have a medium tank class unit power of 16 hp/t. However, the TS-54's track terrain resistance value is relatively average, and the tank has a maximum forward speed of 40 km/h, which makes it slightly better maneuverable in combat than other heavy tanks. The reverse speed of the TS-54 of 15 km / h is also very good, and with the qualified turret rotation speed + hull rotation speed, the maneuverability of the TS-54 is still worth looking forward to.
The turret is highly defensive
▲The TS-54's turret defense is excellent
The survivability data of the TS-54 is quite impressive. Its health is set at 1500 points, which is decent compared to other Tier 8 heavy tanks. However, the TS-54's armor data is quite excellent, its turret frontal armor is 304 mm thick, the gun shield is 310 mm thick, the rangefinders on both sides of the turret are also 200 mm thick, only a small hatch at the top of the turret is a weak point. The TS-54's hull defense is slightly worse, with a base thickness of 101 mm on the armor plate on the nose of the hull, about 220 mm equivalent to AP shells in the positive situation, and about 170 mm for the lower part of the hull. "Swinging angle to sell side" will improve the defense of the first top and bottom, but the TS-54's hull side defense is relatively weak, not only the side armor thickness is low, but also has many weaknesses. In real combat, it is better to rely on bunkers to "sell heads".
▲ TS-54 body is not short
In terms of concealment value and field of view data, the TS-54 data is still a very standard M-series 8 gold heavy tank. The 380-meter base field of view is decent, and the 6.95% base concealment value is also fully qualified for its heavy tank status.
Detailed data
Below is the breakdown of the current stage of TS-54:

Single shot reload time: 7.67 seconds
Time required to switch the main gun after a single shot: 5 seconds
Artillery salvo preparation time: 2 seconds
Lock time after a salvo: 2 seconds
Gun aiming time: 1.92 seconds
Artillery 100-meter base accuracy: 0.36
Gun pitch angle: -8 ° / 20 °
Health: 1500
Hull armor: 101 / 63 / 38
Turret armor: 304 / 127 / 76
Engine power: 800 hp

Based on the data tested so far, the TS-54's unique "dual gun" mechanism gives it a clear advantage in firepower, suitable for combat in urban terrain and mountains, and close and medium-range battles. The TS-54's performance in the ranks of Tier 8 heavy tanks is worth looking forward to, as it is more suitable for coordinated combat with teams and seizing the opportunity to fire a "double-shot salvo" at the enemy.
