Thoughts on the T57

Draschel: T57 is slow, not because 'it'  itself, is slow. But rather because 'it' has a low speed cap. Actually, the HP/T, track traverse, rotation aren't bad for a heavy tank. All these reasons, consider possibly supercharger to improve its mobility. Rotation mechanism is also great, because it calms those terrible dispersion numbers. T57 is a close combatant, you need to remember that. The armor isn't reliable at all, for sure. But is definitely better than AMX50B. Although the accuracy may state otherwise, in practice T57 accuracy is insanely wild when used anywhere but close ranges. If you aren't too caught up on the idea of supercharger for increased mobility, consider choices like vertical stabilizer, rotation mechanism, aiming device, ventilation. Don't waste your time on gun laying drive, it is secondary to stabilizer, rotation, aiming, Etc. Consider bounty equipment or bonds stuff, if you have/afford it. They will certainly help. T57 lacks the versatile application, continued presence, and dependability of tanks like 279E, Chieftain, and 260. No amount crew skill, equipment, directives will elevate it to those levels either. But T57 in the right position, the right time, is still insanely dangerous. That is what you want, to get it into those positions, where it can be very dangerous, as often as possible.
