## [General information](/md/rv/vehicles/pt-76e.md#general-information)

Description
: The **PT-76E** is a Light Tank and a modernized amphibious variant of the PT-76 family, with a new turret, 57 mm autocannon, and improved fire control. It retains the classic hull and swimming capability of the series. Weighing 14 tonnes, it is crewed by three: driver, gunner, and commander. The **UTD-20** diesel produces 300 hp for 21.4 hp/t, 60 km/h on land and 10.2 km/h afloat.
Main armament is the **57mm AU-220** autocannon with HE and AP, plus a coaxial **7.62mm PKT**; the turret has a stabilizer and smoke grenades. The gunner has a laser rangefinder and FCS with lead, and 1x, 5x, and 12x zoom. An engine smoke system is fitted. The PT-76E offers better firepower and accuracy than the [PT-76B](/md/rv/vehicles/pt-76b.md) while keeping amphibious mobility and light weight.
This vehicle features a single addon: **Improved Ammunition**. The Improved Ammunition addon costs 750 points and replaces the stock 57mm AU-220 cannon with the upgraded 57mm 2A90, introducing two specialized munitions to the arsenal. The 3UBM22 APFSDS provides 187 mm of maximum penetration, making it highly effective against the side armor of enemy main battle tanks. Additionally, the 3UO8 proxy shell is optimized for anti-aircraft and anti-infantry roles, utilizing a proximity fuse and containing 0.231 kg of explosive mass.
