T54 Heavy Tank
USA·
Heavy Tank·HT universalThe design for an American medium tank, later reclassified as a heavy tank. Developed in the mid-1950s, this tank was based on the mass-produced M48 tank, but featured an original turret. There were also plans to equip the vehicle with a mechanized loading system, but this idea was later abandoned. Eventually, work on the project was discontinued at the modeling stage in favor of more promising projects.
