T-55 | T-55A | T-55AM | T-55AM-1 | T-55AM2 | T-55AMV | T-55AMV-1 |
The T-55AM-1 is an improved variant of the T-55AM, and it only appeared in Wargame: European Escalation.
History
The "-1" suffix applied on T-55AM and T-55AMV tanks represents they are later modified pieces powered by the 691 hp (515 kW) V-46-5M engine, a derivation of the T-72's 780 hp (582 kW) V-46-6 engine. In other aspects, these models have the same performance as their predecessors.
Therefore, the model appearence of T-55AM-1 in European Escalation was again erroneous. Its only difference with OG T-55 is the additional laser range-finder, while they even carried the same "00128" tactical number.
Overview
The only enhancement between T-55AM and T-55AM-1 are 10 more km/h speed 1 more Side Armor, that's all for 5 more points.
From a authentic perspective, the change in Armor is unreasonable.
