I just stumbled on this tank on wikipedia maybe someone could do some more research. It looks like an alternate medium line to me

Clicked hoping for some information really....... Your best bet is to look it up yourself, and I'm not saying that to sound rude.

The T95 medium... Basically you could consider it an attempt to produce an equivilant to the T-54/55 series. The silhouette is similar enough. I doubt it would be used in WoT though as it has a 90 mm T208 smoothbore and I do believe it has composite armor.

i found this with some digging.
Technologies, including76mm,90mm, 105mm, and 120mm tank guns, as well as concepts such as autoloaders and low profile and oscillating turrets. the t95 tank prototype became, in 1954, the center of us army future tank development;the vehicle featured a low chassis with a flat track suspension similar to the t54. the t95 program included the t53 optical tracking, acquisition, and ranging[OPTAR]system[precurser of the laser rangefinder]and compound steel with silica core armor that provided resistance to HEAT rounds than steel[similar in concept to the later Chobham composite armor]. t95 prototypes were also used to test multiple turrets, various hydro-pneumatic suspension systems, a cross drive transmission, and even a gas turbine engine. a total of 11 t95 prototypes were developed and tested.
i could also see 2 mediums coming out of this. the t95, and the t96. the t96 was a t95 with a 105mm cannon, a different turret, and a turbine engine.
