While such shell can be overlooked on similarly armed vehicles, the lack of a machine gun on the T55E1 can lead to difficulties dealing with targets with exposed crew such as a number of SPAAs.
M42A1 shell - The M42A1 is the HE shell the T55E1 has access to.As such, it is recommended to bring a considerable amount of APCBC shells. As such, it is recommended to use the shell for most opponents, specially armoured ones, but also for flanking as the explosive fillers can prove deadly when used against enemies side armour. It is the highest penetrating shell available as well as having explosive filler. M62 shell - The M62 APCBC shell is the standard shell the T55E1 uses.The T55E1 is able to use 3 different types of ammunition: APCBC, HE and AP. That said, unlike the previous vehicles, the T55E1 not only lacks a turret but also posses a very limited horizontal guidance. The vehicle however posses a noticeable better reload than all the aforementioned vehicles due to having 2 loaders. Such canon may be familiar to players as it is the same armament present on the M10 GMC as well as the M6A1 as well as being similar to the later Shermans' 76 mm canon.
The M62 APCBC shell has enough explosive filler to take down most tanks in one well aimed shot. The 76 mm M7 cannon is a high velocity anti tank gun, and can punch through the armour of most tanks all the way up to 6.7. The T55E1 uses the 76 mm M7 as its main and only armament.
