MISSION STATEMENT

This website is to serve as a catalog of historical information for various tanks, across various stages of development, created for use by the United States from Pre-WWII through to the 1970s. However, the primary purpose for this website is to illustrate a proposal for what an "endgame" could look like for the US tech tree in the game, World Of Tanks, and to show that there's still plenty of life left to breathed into this game.

My aim is to see as many tanks in the game about tanks as possible, and I hope to show that in a way that respects both the historicity of the tanks shown and the balance of the game overall. As such, I will not be going into great detail on individual statistics. Rather, I will only be showing the possible modules for each tank, changes that could be made to make it more historically authentic, a historical overview, and how the tank's playstyle may be represented in-game. I will also attempt to future-proof this by including alternate hulls, half-tracks, and wheeled vehicles.

This is certainly not perfect and everything is subject to change. This is still a work in progress, and updates are frequent if not daily. This is a fan project and a labor of love. Do enjoy.

T23 Pilot #2


The second T23 pilot was built after the January decisions for the T23 medium tank design were put into effect. The only considerable difference between this pilot and the first pilot was the cast turret, which also required a new gun shield.

The T23 Pilot #2 would fit for a decent Tier VI special tank, in my opinion. It's pretty much just a copy of the T23 Pilot #1, which makes it a decent tank to hand out or gift for some special occasion.

Guns: 76 mm Gun M1A1

Engines: Ford GAN (525 hp)

Turrets (Turret Armor (mm)): T23 Pilot #2 (89/63/63)

Suspensions/Alternate Hulls, Total Weight (metric tons): T23 VVSS (32.65)

Hull Armor (mm): 63/50/38

Top Speed: 56 km/h

Crew: 5 (Driver; Gunner; Loader; Commander; Radio)
