Team : Hawk Republic # T-54M Role : Main Battle Tank ## [General information](/md/rv/vehicles/t-54m.md#general-information) Description : The **T-54M** is a Main Battle Tank representing a deep modernization of the T-54, bringing the old hull up to late-Cold War standards with a new power pack and fire control. The upgrade replaces the original engine with a **MTU MT881 Ka-500** diesel producing 1,000 horsepower, giving the 38-tonne vehicle a 26.3 hp/t ratio and retaining 50 km/h top speed with much better acceleration. The crew of four operates a stabilized **100mm D-10T** cannon paired with a laser rangefinder, FCS with lead computation, and 5x–10x zoom. Secondary armament includes a coaxial **7.62mm PKT** and a roof **12.7mm DSHK**. The T-54M has no APS but benefits from modern optics and stabilizer for accurate fire on the move, extending the platform's usefulness into the modern era.
