Development

J.A. Industries wanted to develop a new type of tank, mainly having a strong gun. The prototype tank started out as the X-53Bc , however afther serveral tests it proved to be a ineffective match. After a week of re-thinking, the armament was changed to a 100mm Cannon for better combat against armour and a 12.7mm Machine gun for combat against both low-flying choppers and infantry.

Characteristics

The X-55 is overall a small grey tank with a noticeable long tank-cannon barrel, it features a 6-wheel track and has a rather flat front. It's rear however is sloped.

Advantages

The X-55 has a overall small size, making it harder to spot. It features also a devastating 100mm Tank-Cannon capable of destroying medium and lights tanks with ease. It's features 2 boxes of 20 AP rounds, making it total of 40 AP rounds stored in the hull - plentiful enough for taking down at least 5 medium tanks.

Disatvantages

The X-55 is not greatly armoured, featuring a 70/40/70 Hull and a all-around 70mm thick turret. The ammo crates stick out of the belly, making it a rather huge hazard of HE shells impacting at it's belly. It's speed is not great, on flat surfaces it reaches up to 19 KPH and off-road even a lot slower. It cannot climb most hills and has a rather unsloped front. It's sides are very weak and the hull features the ammo storage, if it gets hit it will likely cook-off.

Production history

The X-55 was made in low numbers before it was dis-continued as a unreliable tank. (Aprox. 300 units) however it featured 3 variants (Excluding prototype).

X-53Bc

The prototype variant, featuring a 75mm Short Cannon and a 80mm Mortar cannon. 88 rounds of HEAT. Classified as a Calvary tank. Went never in production
