T95E8 Test Rig

While no pilot MBT(MR) was ever constructed, several turret test rigs were assembled to determine the operating characteristics of different turret configurations. One of these utilized an integrated fight compartment (a driver-in-turret arrangement) and this turret was mounted to a modified T95E8 chassis for testing.

The T95E8 retained its standard power package. The driver was seating in a counter-rotating cupola and basket installed on the left side of the turret. The turret was equipped with the XM81E6 gun-launcher.

In World Of Tanks, the T95E8 TR is essentially a stock version of the MBT(MR), but with the chassis of a T95 medium. It's a derp tank, so its characteristics beyond those related to the chassis should be similar to the MBT(MR).
