"The first models of T-54 battle tanks were introduced in the years follow-ing the Second World War, while the T-55 was introduced in 1958. The key disadvantages of these tanks are lack of rangefinders, ballistic computers,fire control systems, primitive sights, and inadequate weapon stabilization(for the T-54)."
