== History ==

In the 1970s, the Swiss company Oerlikon-Bührle company researched into the viability of a low-cost anti-aircraft missile that can also act in an anti-tank role. Designated under ''{{annotation|ADATS|Air-Defense Anti-Tank System}}'', Oerlikon partnered with the American company Martin Marietta in 1979 for the missile program. The first missile firing was conducted in June 1981.<ref name="ParschMIM146">Parsch 2002</ref>
[[File:ADATS launch.jpg|thumb|x250px|left|none|The ADATS firing a MIM-146 missile during US testings.]]

In 1986, the Canadian Forces accepted the missile as part of their {{annotation|LLAD|Low-Level Air Defence}} program.<ref name="ParschMIM146" /><ref name="RheinmetallADATS">Rheinmetall Canada Inc. "History"</ref> The first deliveries begun in 1988 with a total of 36 ADATS weapons procured by 1994.<ref name="ParschMIM146" /><ref name="FAS_ADATS">Pike and Sherman 1999</ref><ref name="ArmyTechnology_ADATS">Army Technology. "ADATS Short Range Air Defence System"</ref> The ADATS would serve in the Canadian military until 31 March 2011.<ref name="RheinmetallADATS" />

In the United States, as the [[M247]] {{annotation|DIVAD|Division Air Defense}} vehicle was cancelled in 1985, the search was still on for a FAAD (Forward-Area Air Defense) weapon to replace aging equipment such as the MIM-72 ''Chaparral''. In 1989, the ADATS was evaluated as a {{annotation|LOS-F-H|Line-Of-Sight, Forward, Heavy}} air defense system, with the missiles designated the '''MIM146'''. However, the MIM146 was found to have low reliability during testing of the equipment in combat conditions, and so the ADATS procurement was cancelled in 1992.<ref name="ParschMIM146" /> To fill in their role, the Bradley Stinger Fighting Vehicle was obtained, mounting [[AIM-92 Stinger|FIM-92 Stinger]] missiles as their primary anti-aircraft weapon.<ref name="ParschMIM146" /><ref name="FAS_ADATS" />

Another user of the ADATS missile is the Royal Thai Air Force, who have linked them to their Skyguard fire control radar system<ref name="ArmyTechnology_ADATS" />

'''Notes''':

* Shells are modeled individually and disappear after having been shot or loaded.
* Racks 3 and 4 are first stage ammo racks. They total 22 shells and get filled first when loading up the tank.
* These racks are also emptied early: the rack depletion order at full capacity is: 3 - 4 - 1 - 2.
* Simply not firing when the gun is loaded will move ammo from racks 1 and 2 into racks 4 then 3. Firing will interrupt the restocking of the ready racks.

== Usage in battles ==

The T95E1's playstyle consists of mostly setting up ambushes and/or on the frontlines. The APFSDS shell has more than enough power to destroy most tanks that it will face; however, on a uptier against [[Leopard A1A1]]'s, [[T-62M-1]]'s, and generally any 8.7 to 9.0 MBT, you will need to play more cautiously, thus the ambushing tactics come into play. You must be extremely aware of what is around you and be quicker than your enemy on the gun because the lack of stabilizers will make shooting on the move very difficult.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Stock APFSDS able to penetrate most enemies frontally
* Excellent post-penetration spalling from APFSDS
* Sloped frontal armour can bounce multiple shots with ease, but upper glacis and turret front bounce shots to each other
* Very good stock horizontal turret traverse
* Good gun depression of -10°, allows for some hull-down tactics
* High velocity firing makes long-range fighting easier, especially in the large maps
* Has a Smoothbore gun, with excellent recoil mount that decreases the recoil
* Acceptable top speed of 56 km/h
* The smoke shell (T339E14) has high velocity which helps you save allies at a long distance

'''Cons:'''

* Poor acceleration and low top speed cross-country
* Low reverse speed relative to other American medium tanks
* A prominent weak spot in the form of commander's cupola
* No ammunition choices other than APFSDS or HE
* No stabilizer - unable to accurately fire on the move
* Front armour vulnerable against sabot and HEAT rounds
* Limited accuracy of smoothbore cannon at long range
* Engine deck prevents the turret depression
* Rear hull armour can be penetrated with .50 cals and therefore, engine and transmission are prone to damage
* Large ammo racks to the sides of driver, front hull penetration could lead to easy ammo detonation.
* Like with most Abrams series tanks, the engine deck is slightly raised, meaning that you will not be able to depress the gun over the rear of the tank.
* Lacking night vision device in an uptier

== History ==

In the early 1950s, the US began looking for a replacement for the M48 series. In September 1954, the T95 was selected for development; construction of pilot models began in 1957. The T95E1 differed from the T95 in the inclusion of a recoil system mount and the omission of a two-plane stabilizer, and was completed in early 1958.

The T95 program was shut down in July 1960 when it became clear that both the engine power and smoothbore cannon's accuracy were unsatisfactory and would provide no significant improvements over the M48 already in service. However, further development of the turret design contributed significantly to the turret used later on the M60A1.
