The T-54 (1949) is a rank V Soviet medium tank with a battle rating of 7.3 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.47 "Big Guns".
The T-54 (1949) is one of the three T-54s in the tech tree available to the player, along the T-54 (1947) and the T-54 (1951). The 1949 features a redesigned turret to strengthen the frontal armour effectiveness and removing the shot traps. The hull armour layout was also adjusted, reducing the front 120 mm armour plate to 100 mm. Aside from the armour differences, the T-54 (1949) has a firepower improvement with access to the 3BM-8 APDS ammunition.
The T-54 (1949) is an upgraded version of the T-54 (1947), it has a turret without the shot-trap, and it has generally more armour, however this is counteracted with weaker hull armour, and this does make a difference for some early APFSDS and some HEAT rounds (the War Thunder community generally accepts the T-54 (1947) as having the best armour overall). Another upgrade is the new APDS round, which has superior penetration. This round should be used to take on only the most armoured targets frontally because it does minimal damage - BR-412D still is considered the better round because it has enough penetration and it knocks out vehicles with a single shot easily.
The T-54 (1949) continues in the steps of its predecessor, still being a Jack-of-All-Trades tank, on the same platform with the same gun. Importantly, it has improved turret armour, although at the cost of hull armour, which promotes hull-down gameplay. In Arcade, the T-54 (1949) retains the mobility of the T-54 (1947), but now you have the back-up option of using APDS. (Read the T-54 (1947) article, as it covers general playstyle with more depth)
For the major gameplay differences from the T-54 (1947), read the T-54 (1947) article prior to reading this.
You are now able to snipe more accurately, because of your APDS round that goes over 1,400 m/s. This can be taken advantage of at the start of matches, especially in Realistic Battles.
Your upgraded turret is now able to outright block some rounds, especially in a downtier, and it's not worth wiggling or angling it.
Most of the service recorded in the T-54 and the T-55 are interchangeable as the two are essentially identical aside from the NBC protection. They will be referred to as the "T-54/55" unless specified otherwise.
The Soviets main tank during the course of the Cold War was the T-54/55 and the T-62 tanks, comprising about 85% of the Soviet armoured force in the mid-1970s. The first combat usage of the T-54 was in the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. During the conflict, one T-54A was captured by the Hungarian rebels and delivered it to the British embassy. This act inspired the production of the 105 mm L7 gun and the M60 MBT when tests on this T-54 found it superior in firepower and armour. Afterwards, the Soviets did not have many activities with the T-54/55, but they are still in reserve status after being replaced by the Soviet T-72 and T-90 tanks.
