Hello everyone,

it seems that Wargaming made an unusual step. You know about that tier 8 Soviet premium “light T-54″? Yeeeeea… so, the developers kinda are deciding not to make it a premium, but a Soviet tier 8 light tank, following the tier 7 “LTTB”.

To that end, they

- seriously buffed the ground resistance (as in, reduced it)

- buffed the engine from 520 to 700hp (22,85 hp/t) (maximum speed is still 58,7 km/h)

- buffed the hull traverse from 44 to 50

- viewrange buffed from 385 to 390

- hitpoints reduced from 1300 to 1200hp

There are some smaller changes as well. These are of course only preliminary. Now, that’s a turn of events :)

Edit: its guns are going to be various types of D-10T, it will be unlocked from LTTB and will lead to T-54, its XP price is roughly as much as other tier 8 light tanks.
