Which one is better to pump a heavy tank? The best heavy tank in World of Tanks

When the muzzle of these monsters looks at your tank, you can feel the goosebumps running through the steel armor, the tracks begin to give way, and the ammunition rack gradually gets wet. Few survived after being targeted by the heroes of this article.

Today we will look at the most powerful weapons in the game, and, of course, the equipment on which they are installed. We will not pay attention to rate of fire, accuracy and armor penetration. Identifying tanks with the maximum one-time damage is our goal today. At each level, from the first to the tenth, we will select the most lethal tank. We will also separately make a rating of the most powerful self-propelled guns.

Level 1

Vickers Medium Mk. I (maximum damage 71-119 units)

The only medium tank at the first level is radically different from its counterparts. The Briton is the most massive and almost the slowest among his classmates. He also has almost no armor... but what can we say that he has armor Vickers Medium Mk. I not at all. Shoot wherever you want, it’s hard not to hit such a big carcass, let alone penetrate it or ricochet it even harder.

But on the other hand, an English tank can give all its rivals a hard time in the sandbox with the help of a cannon QF 6- pdr 8 cwt Mk. II.

There are three types of shells to choose from: two armor-piercing and one high-explosive fragmentation.

It is land mines that have a record damage of 71-119 units, having only 29 mm of armor penetration, but at the first level this is not a problem. The most armored classmate (MS-1) has only 18 mm on the forehead.

Level 2

T18 (maximum damage 131-219 units)

Low-level American tank destroyer T18 does not have a large supply of health points, but it has the thickest frontal armor at the second level and good mobility.

Add to this a powerful gun 75 mm Howitzer M1 A1 - and you will receive a PT, which can brazenly attack the enemy, inflict huge damage on him, and only receive scratches.

High-explosive shells, as usual, have a record damage of 131-219 units. With such power, you can kill an enemy one level above you with one shot, but only if the projectile hits an unprotected part of the body. If the enemy is facing you, then feel free to load “golden” cumulative ammunition, their damage is a little less, but their armor penetration is much better.

ArtillerySturmpanzer I Bison (maximum damage 225-375 units)

This self-propelled gun rightfully takes the place of the “sand” queen. If the enemy team has such artillery, watch out for your heads. At first glance, this flimsy machine does not pose a danger, but if a shell comes from it, it will not seem like much.

The Bison has only one gun, so there is no choice. HEAT shells for it are very expensive, they can be purchased for 12 gold or 4800 silver coins per piece, but they are worth it. Thanks to the huge (for its level) damage of 225-375 units and excellent armor penetration of 171-285 mm, even heavy tanks of the fifth level can be seriously damaged by one small artillery shell.

Level 3

Cruiser Mk. II (maximum damage 278-463 units)

And again British. This one is lightweight british tank boasts maximum damage, which is enough to “one-shot” an enemy a level, or even two, higher than itself. In principle, that’s all, he has nothing more to boast about. The speed is disgusting, the armor is weak, reloading is so-so, and I’m generally silent about accuracy. The projectile flies very slowly, and go figure out when it will overtake the target, and whether it will overtake it at all. It happens that you come across a standing enemy, fire a volley with anticipation, and watch how your projectile flies over the enemy in a mocking arc.

But despite all this, I personally kept the Cruiser Mk. II in his hangar. Do you know why? This is a very fun tank! He may be slow, clumsy and oblique, but when you remove all the health points of a high-level enemy with one shot, you become imbued with genuine love for Cruiser Mk. II.

To achieve maximum lethality, you need to install a weapon 3.7- inch Howitzer. This gun is supplied with only two types of ammunition - “golden” cumulative and conventional high-explosive fragmentation. Premium HEAT shells have excellent armor penetration, but land mines deal enormous damage (if you shoot at weak points), as much as 278-463 units.

ArtilleryLorraine39 L A.M.

Miniature, dynamic and long-range artillery with a long reload time, but enormous damage for its level. Thanks to the projectile's hinged flight path, the small French self-propelled gun is able to reach enemies hiding behind low covers.

He has two weapons in his arsenal: levels four and five. Despite the same damage, the “stock” gun takes longer to reload, and the shells from it fly somehow slowly.

High-explosive fragmentation ammunition has the highest damage (308-513 units), but against heavy tanks of the fifth and sixth levels it is better to use “golden” cumulative shells.

They have the same damageM 37 AndWespe .

Level 4

Hetzer (maximum damage 308-513 units)

The German tank destroyer in the “top” configuration instills fear and terror in its opponents. Not only that Hetzer has a low body, ricocheting armor angles and good mobility, it also has remarkable damage.

One of his "top" guns 10,5 cm StuH 42 L/28 can fire armor-piercing, cumulative and high-explosive fragmentation shells. Land mines deal 308-513 units of damage, but are only suitable for weakly armored enemies. It is best to use “golden” cumulative ammunition against heavy tanks and tank destroyers.

Has the same damageSomua SAu -40 And T40 .

ArtilleryGrille (maximum damage 510-850 units)

The most popular self-propelled gun in medium companies and, perhaps, best artillery at your own level. But don’t think that by purchasing “Grill” you will immediately start killing enemies in batches. This machine requires a special approach and getting used to. Firstly, it has very poor windage angles, which means that as soon as you move the scope slightly to the right or left, you will have to wait for full alignment again. Fortunately, with a maximally pumped-up crew and “reinforced aiming drives” Grille It comes down to the target quite quickly, so don’t shoot offhand, be a little patient.

One more positive feature"Grill" is a good projectile range. Unlike its Soviet counterpart, small German artillery in almost any location can send a shell from one end of the map to the other.

And, of course, the highest damage is at the fourth level (510-850 units), which more than pays for the long reload. There are two types of shells in the arsenal: high-explosive fragmentation and cumulative. Both types of ammunition have the same damage, but HEATs penetrate thicker armor, sacrificing fragmentation damage. Considering the poor accuracy of this artillery, choosing the type of shells is not an easy task.

Level 5

KV-1(maximum damage 338-563 units)

After the division of the legendary HF for two tanks ( KV-1 And KV-2) both new vehicles took first place at levels 5 and 6 of the ranking of the most lethal vehicles in World of Tanks.

KV-1 in the “top” configuration it has a well-armored compact turret, which allows it to fire with impunity from behind cover and folds of terrain.

This tank has a wide selection of weapons of the fifth and sixth levels, but only the high explosive has the maximum damage (338-563 units) 122 mm U-11. Such a gun can be loaded with land mines or cumulative “golden” shells.

High-explosive fragmentation ammunition, despite the high stated damage, will bring little benefit if you shoot at the strong forehead of tank destroyers and heavy tanks of your level, but light tanks and artillery literally explode almost from the first hit.

Has the same damage SU-85.

ArtilleryM41

The American fifth-tier self-propelled gun is famous for the fact that, in addition to excellent damage, it has excellent horizontal aiming angles and a good rate of fire.

Also M41 can accelerate to 56 km/h, but due to the weak engine it takes a lot of time.

"Top" gun 155 mm Gun M1918 M1 can fire two types of high-explosive fragmentation shells - regular and premium. Both types of ammunition have the same damage (713-1188 units), but “golden” shells penetrate armor a little better and scatter their fragments further when they explode.

They have the same damageHummel AndAMX 13 F 3 A.M. .

Level 6

KV-2

A very dangerous tank in battles at the sixth and seventh levels. Thanks to the gun 152 mm M-10, which was popularly nicknamed “Shaitan-pipe”, KV-2 can inflict 683-1138 units of damage, but only if the landmine penetrates the armor. If you are up against a thick-skinned tank, then it makes sense to try armor-piercing or cumulative shells.

Unlike its predecessor, KV-2 has an impressive hull and a massive turret, which means that it is quite difficult to hide on it. Try to avoid open areas and stay close to city buildings, where you can catch enemies in narrow streets. The reason is obvious: this tank is in trouble with accuracy; shooting at distant targets is just a waste of shells. City buildings are also useful for retreating to reload, which lasts about a quarter of a minute.

Artillery S-51(maximum damage 1388-2313 units)

S-51 or “Pinocchio” is almost always welcome artillery in champion companies. Although the rate of fire of this self-propelled gun is the lowest at the sixth level, but with a “top” gun 203 mm B-4 it deals 1388-2313 units of damage with landmines upon a successful hit.

Compared to your colleague SU-14, this artillery is much more mobile, which allows it to change position in time if there is a threat of detection.

Has the same damage SU-14.

Level 7

SU-152(maximum damage 683-1138 units)

At level seven, Soviet vehicles retain their leadership in damage. The most powerful weapon SU-152 practically no different from a high explosive on a heavy tank KV-2. A gun 152 mm ML-20 also fires armor-piercing, cumulative and high-explosive fragmentation shells, which cause the most damage to weakly armored targets - 683-1138 units.

Don't forget that with a high-explosive cannon you sacrifice accuracy and rate of fire. It will not allow you to sit in the bushes and accurately shoot enemies at long distances; the best option is to go behind the enemy’s rear and, seizing the moment when he is not in the mood for you, carry out an impressive alpha strike.

ArtilleryG.W. Tiger (maximum damage 1500-2500 units)

Massive and slow artillery with a long reload time, but with lethal high-explosive fragmentation shells that deal 1500-2500 damage. Even if the landmine does not penetrate armor, any enemy will still feel uneasy. Who knows, maybe next time an armor-piercing shell will arrive, which, with the favor of the FBR, can one-shot almost any vehicle in the game?

G.W. Tiger great for team game in the platoon. With such huge damage, there is no need to chase “frags”. Leave the small change and the “leftovers” to your allies; your primary goal is high-level heavy tanks and tank destroyers.

Level 8

ISU-152(maximum damage 713-1188 units)

And again the USSR is in the lead. An improved model of the previous tank destroyer, ISU-152, has a level ten weapon 152 mm BL-10, which can deal 713-1188 damage with high-explosive shells. However, it is much more effective to shoot armor-piercing ones: their damage is slightly lower, but their armor penetration makes it easy to penetrate even the toughest level ten opponents. It doesn't make much sense to use "golden" shells with this gun. And without them you can easily break through any enemy.

The ISU-152 with a “top” gun has tolerable accuracy, which allows you not to rush into the thick of the battle, but to cover your allies from a safe distance.

Artillery T92(maximum damage 1688-2813 units)

The most lethal and most useless artillery of the eighth level. Premium high-explosive fragmentation shells deal 1688-2813 damage and have a huge radius of fragmentation - more than 11 meters.

In all other respects T92 total cons.

Firstly, this is terribly oblique artillery. It would seem that with the huge radius of scattering of fragments, special precision is not required. Well, the shell landed not on the enemy’s head, but next to him, and the enemy would still be caught in shrapnel. What to do if enemy and allied tanks are locked in a battle in the same clearing? In this situation, you can kill both of them, and it remains to be seen who will be more attracted, and whether the team will be grateful to you after that.

Besides, T92 takes a very long time to recharge. While reloading is in progress, the enemy will have time not only to repair the broken tracks, but also to easily disappear from sight.

And finally, another big disadvantage of this artillery. It completely lacks a negative vertical aiming angle. Imagine that a light tank breaks into your base, drives up close to your forehead, and you can’t do anything about it. A gun T92 it simply does not fall below the zero line, which means that tanks with a low silhouette can calmly shoot you at point-blank range.

Level 9

T30(maximum damage 713-1188 units)

Main advantages T30- a strong freely rotating turret and maximum damage of 713-1188 units.

The disadvantages include weak hull armor, for a long time reload times and unpredictable accuracy.

High-explosive fragmentation shells cause the greatest damage, but it is most comfortable to play, of course, with armor-piercing or sub-caliber shells.

In Game T30 can behave like a heavy tank (initially it was one). If you're tired of sitting in the bushes, feel free to go to the battlefield. The main thing is not to get into trouble, cover your weak corps and show the enemies only your strong tower.

They have the same damage Object 704 And T95.

Level 10

F.V.215 b (183) (maximum damage 1313-2188 units)

There's nothing scarier than coming face to face with a charged F.V.215 b (183) . At the mention of this tank destroyer, even “Mouses” hide in their holes, because with one successful salvo the British monster is able to halve his health. Can you imagine what will happen to the rest of the tanks if they are hit by a shell from F.V.215 b (183) ?

“Premium” shells give out crazy damage (1313-2188 units), but if usually landmines have very low armor penetration, then special British HESH landmines penetrate from 206 to 344 mm of armor. You have to pay for this with disgusting accuracy and enormous reload time.

Generally, FV215b (183) is very different from its classmates not only in damage, but also appearance. This tank destroyer has a “slipper” shape, that is, the turret is located at the rear of the hull, and in order to carefully look around the corner, you will have to show the enemy your entire huge bulk. The so-called “Reverse Diamond” will not help much here, on the sides FV215b (183) only 50 mm of armor.

You need to get used to this PT and learn not only to competently drive around the corner, but also roll back in time for a long reload. Try not to ride alone; it is best to take a thick-skinned and rebounding partner into your platoon, who can distract opponents while you reload.

Before starting the game, each player faces a painful choice: which tank is better to choose? Yes, the choice is not easy, because your victory directly depends on it. To win, you need to choose a good tank. But how to choose it and which tank is the best in the game? Which tank will lead you to victory?

The player is presented with a huge arsenal of military equipment, from which you must find the most suitable one. Tanks vary in size, power, and type, so it’s not so easy to compare them with each other. As they say: “As many people as there are, so many opinions,” so the tank that is the best for one person will not be anything special for another. We will not argue with you; it is, of course, up to you to decide. But still…

Still, we want to introduce you to our Top 10 rating the best tanks World of Tanks. Even though it is difficult for us to compare tanks with each other, because sometimes they are completely different from each other, but still, our rating will be very useful for someone. If you still cannot make a choice in favor of one tank or another, then perhaps you will listen to our advice and make the right choice that will bring you the coveted victory in a tank battle.

10. FV215b (183)

The crown of the British artillery is a deadly weapon in the hands of a skilled player, because 1750 damage from one shell will be enough to destroy any level 9 tank. But the greatest efficiency is achieved exclusively when using gold shells, so people who do not have a couple of farm tanks in their hangar should not recommend this unit.

9.

Artillery is also in ninth place in the World of Tanks ranking of the best tanks, but it is made in France. Distinctive features from its classmates are high accuracy and speed of aiming, as well as a drum for 4 shells. However, it is worth remembering that when playing the Art Sau, you should constantly change your own deployment so as not to become an easy prey for your opponent, but, fortunately, maneuverability and a powerful engine allow you to do this.

8.

The best of the Soviet medium tanks in the game allows you to use tactics similar to the tactics of tank battles of the Great Patriotic War. Thanks to your speed and flexibility, you can attack your opponent from cover with lightning speed, spin him around and destroy him. But a head-on collision or stopping for even a couple of seconds will be fatal for you - the tank is extremely poorly armored.

7. KV-1

We placed the best heavyweight of the fifth level on the seventh line of the ranking of the best WoT tanks due to his ability to literally execute his classmates, most of whom are simply unable to break through him. If we talk about cars more low levels, then he snaps them like seeds, moreover, he is able to defeat even level 6-7 tanks, but only with a high-quality position and the support of his allies.

6.

One of the best anti-tank self-propelled guns in the game. Many consider it unbalanced and constantly demand a deterioration in its characteristics. There is some rationalism in this thought, because inflicting 750 damage per shot, it remains practically invisible, but it is worth remembering that the maneuverability of this unit is practically zero - considering that even a heavy tank can spin it, comments are unnecessary. It is also worth noting the weak armor of the sides and roof, but the frontal sheet is not only extremely dense, but also provides a large number of ricochets.

5.

Perhaps every player was “ignited” after this unit appeared literally out of nowhere, and then destroyed your tank in just a few shots. Yes, a vehicle from the list of the most powerful tanks in World of Tanks can cause a lot of trouble, because it is a tank destroyer, which has a rotating turret and excellent maneuverability, which allows it to change its deployment point with lightning speed. Artillery has no chance at all against it, even being at the bottom of the list, the “kitty” creates significant problems for its opponents, playing in the style of a light tank with a high-explosive gun.

4.

We sincerely wanted to avoid metaphors, but it’s impossible to describe this vehicle in any other way: imagine a mixture of a racing car with a turret equipped with a powerful weapon with six charges in the drum, capable of turning any combat unit into ashes (level 10 tanks are no exception). However, a tank tank acquires this appearance only in skillful hands, because it cannot be hidden in the bushes due to its impressive size, and even a third-tier tank can inflict critical damage on it.

3.

The vehicle, equipped with a drum, was able to climb so high in the ranking - the fastest and most powerful tanks in World of Tanks - only thanks to its own magic tower. Despite the extremely weak armor, shells from enemy vehicles fly off from it like a tennis ball from a wall, only scratching the lining. And add to this a rotating turret, 4 shells that deal a total of 1600 damage, fast aiming, and you obviously don’t want to have such a unit among your opponents.

2.

We declare with confidence that the frontal armor of this tank is almost impossible to penetrate, and in response it fires you 3 shots of 750 damage each from its drum, after which it calmly rolls back into cover, joyfully watching the burnt out hull of your tank. Even inexperienced players can achieve significant success with this unit, but it is worth keeping a distance of 200-300 meters so that attackers cannot target the thin hatch above the gun.

1. KV-1S

In addition to high-quality characteristics and a convenient gaming style, this machine receives gold in the rating and the title - the best tank World of Tanks also because it is extremely fun to drive. Judge for yourself: rational angles of inclination allow you to reflect most projectiles, an excellent engine provides the ability to quickly move around the battlefield, always ending up in the right place, a gun that destroys almost any tank below the sixth level with one shot - is anything else needed for a comfortable game?

Almost every player asked himself the question: which tank is best at its level and how it is divided into

It all depends on what parameter this rating is based on. Therefore, before rating cars, let’s figure out what parameters exist and what they influence. And, having mastered this information, we will find out, for example, in Wot which premium tier 8 tank is better.

Main parameters of combat vehicles:

No matter how different the tanks may seem, they were produced according to the same principles, which is why they have standard set parameters, differing only in values. Combat vehicles in the WoT game were made with the same set of parameters.
The main parameters include:
Number of strength units. This parameter directly affects the survivability indicator. After all, if you have a lot of HP, this means that you can withstand more hits with penetration and not die;
Hull armor. This value influences the important point of how enemies will be able to penetrate if they hit a certain part of the hull, or whether your armor will withstand a blow without being penetrated;
Tower armor. Similar in nature to the task of hull armor;
Speed. This indicator is responsible for the speed of movement of a combat vehicle on the map and the ability to quickly respond to changing situations, as well as timely provide support where necessary;
Penetration of a gun. Perhaps the most important indicator, which is responsible for the tank’s ability to inflict damage on enemies;
Damage. This parameter is responsible for how many units of durability the gun will remove with one hit with penetration;
Recharge. Affects how many rounds per minute the tank can fire if it fires immediately after reloading, and this affects how often you will deal damage to enemies;
Review. This indicator indicates how far the combat vehicle can see and at what maximum distance the enemy will be detected;
Specific power. This element indicates how quickly the combat vehicle can change its speed mode and reach maximum speed.
This is a list of the main performance characteristics of tanks presented in the WordofTanks game.

:


Knowing the above data, you can make a rating of the best medium tanks of tier 8 according to various parameters.
The strength units are Panthermit 8.8 cmL /71, T26E4 Super Pershing, T95E2. These cars have 1500 points.
The highest damage per shot is achieved by: Chinese T-34-3 and French M4A1 Revalorise and it is equal to 390 units.
The fastest tank is the AMX Chasseur de Chars, its speed is 57 km/h.
The most far-sighted vehicles turned out to be: the representative of the American school of tank building T - 69, the Chinese premium tank 59 - Patton and again the American T95E2, their visibility is 400 meters.


The main criterion for premium vehicles in the Word of Tanks game is its profitability, and this, in turn, directly depends on the damage caused. Therefore, the best machines for this parameter will be listed below, depending on the type of equipment.
Among tank destroyers, the German Rheinmetall Skorpion G stands out for this indicator; in one shot, this tank takes away 490 units of strength from the enemy.
One-time damage of 440 units among heavy tanks was given to representatives of the USSR called: Object 252U and.
But among medium tanks, the Chinese T-34-3 and the French M4A1 Revalorise stand out and their one-time damage is 390 units.


If in the case of high-level vehicles everything is less clear, then with tanks of the fifth and sixth levels not everything is so clear. Because at these levels, not everything depends on performance characteristics, but a lot depends on the overall impression of the car as a whole. Therefore, we will compile a Wot rating of the best tanks of 5-6 levels, based on reviews of tankers and general statistics on tanks.
Medium tanks:
Among the representatives of medium tanks, two combat vehicles stand out. The first of them is the Soviet T 34-85. This tank can be called a universal fighter, since due to good camouflage it can shoot enemies from the bushes with almost impunity. Rational armor angles allow you to frequently deflect enemy shells, and the comfortable and accurate gun successfully finds vulnerable spots and penetrates them even in high-level combat vehicles.
The second car should be a Briton named Cromwell. This tank has good visibility and excellent speed, which allows it, if necessary, to play the role of a light tank, and an accurate gun with a penetration of 145 mm and a good rate of fire successfully inflicts damage on enemies.
Tank destroyer:
Among anti-tank self-propelled guns, it is necessary to highlight the Soviet SU-100 and the American Hellcat.
Heavy tanks:
Among the heavies, three vehicles stand out: the Soviet KV - 85 and KV - 2, as well as the American M 6.
The KV-2 with a top-end high-explosive gun is capable of sending any lightly armored vehicle, even of a high level, into the hangar with one shot. The KV -85 also has an excellent weapon with one-time damage of 390 units, which is one of the best indicators for its level. The American M 6 is equipped with excellent frontal armor and an accurate, rapid-fire gun.
Light tanks:
Among the light tanks, the MT-25 from the Soviet research branch and the American T-37 stand out.
Self-propelled guns:
In the ranks of artillery, the following stand out: the British FV304, the American M44, the Soviet SU-8 and the German Hummel.

Greetings, dear reader of our site! Many tankers have long been interested in the question of the best heavy tanks in World of Tanks. The game features a lot of heavy equipment, but not all of it has clear advantages; some tanks are difficult to play, others have a number of disadvantages, etc. In this article, we would like to compile a list of truly comfortable and “flexible” TTs that will give their owner real pleasure from the game. This top is based on reviews from experienced gamers and the opinions of leading WoT players.

First, let's discuss the Soviet branch of heavy tanks, which, by the way, is very good. The characteristics of the TT are as balanced as possible; the vehicle has impressive armor and damage. I would especially like to highlight the KV-1 tank (which was lowered by 1 level and was replaced by the KV-85), this is one of the best tanks in the game in principle, it is very comfortable, has decent armor and a powerful gun, at first (in stock) play this TT will not be very comfortable (slow and clumsy), but by leveling it up, you will get a truly formidable monster, capable of penetrating vehicles of higher levels.

also in Soviet branch I would like to highlight the IS-4 tank, it has thick armor on the sides, has a very powerful gun, which is also very fast-firing and penetrating. The IS-4 is perfect for players who like to play from armor on leisurely TTs.

If you want to have speed in addition to armor, then you should upgrade the IS-7 tank, it is mobile and maneuverable, has strong armor front part and a good gun.

Both of these vehicles are level 10, so you'll have to play quite a few fights to unlock these tanks, but they're worth it.

I would like to highlight “ younger brother» hundredth "E" - E-75. In stock, the car is difficult to play: slow, weak armor, poor penetration, but after upgrading this technique, you will immediately feel the difference, it will become much more comfortable to play, the main thing is not to expose the sides and lower armor plate for attacks (these are the weak points of this TT).

The “Royal Tiger” is another good representative of the German “heavies”; it has a very powerful weapon and excellent hitting, a large supply of HP and the “ability” to quickly spin in one place. The tank's turret copes excellently with enemy shells, and the power of the gun allows it to easily damage tanks of the ninth and tenth levels.

In the American branch of heavy tanks, first of all, I would like to highlight the T57 Heavy, the equipment is specific and requires skill, so it is more suitable for tankers who have already played more than one thousand battles. The “features” of this combat vehicle are a rapid-fire drum and fast reloading, and the weapon is also very accurate. The tank's armor is not thick, which can cause some inconvenience at the beginning of the game. Is not strong point and the speed of this TT is extremely low, so the T57 is not suitable for rapid trips around the map. However, in experienced hands, thanks to an excellent weapon, real miracles can be done with this level 10 tank!

The American T110E5 is another good representative of the TT class; the equipment is quite maneuverable, has a thick “forehead”, a strong turret and comfortable vertical aiming angles. The turret style of play is best suited for this tank (but it has a weak spot in the form of a large hatch). One of the main advantages of the T110E5 is the very fast reloading of the gun; by installing the necessary modules and upgrading several perks, reloading will take less than 8 seconds, which is very good, considering the impressive damage of the gun.

French heavy tanks are unique in their own way, but they are not suitable for all gamers. Distinctive feature This branch is “cardboard”, but this drawback is offset by the drum charge.

The AMX 50b tank is the best TT of the French, the car has practically no armor (a coma of the armor sheet on the bottom), but has an excellent speed of 60 km/h, only some LT can drive that fast! Add to this a drum with four charges, which can inflict up to 1600 points of damage and a very accurate weapon (one of the most accurate among the 10th level TTs), and you get a deadly weapon that can suddenly appear behind enemy lines, inflict damage on opponents, and disappear just as quickly. The variety of tactics on the AMX 50b is off the charts.

The AMX 50-100 is an excellent tier 8 TT, although it has the same drawback as its older brother - a small amount of armor, but a multi-charge drum for six shells with one-time damage - 300 and high penetration, corrects the situation. By successfully firing a drum at an opponent, you are almost guaranteed to destroy him (a level 8 tank for sure). Wide visibility and good maneuverability allow the AMX 50-100 to successfully use tactics unusual for a TT.

The British branch of “heavy trucks” is very ambiguous, it is certainly not recommended for beginners to go there, the cars are mostly “cardboard”, have little damage, and in terms of their characteristics they are more similar to ST than to TT.

But you can still choose one worthy representative, this is the FV 215b (10th level). The vehicle has a rear-mounted turret, so playing this tank takes some getting used to. The TT stands out for its very fast reloading and phenomenal accuracy, and its good maneuverability leaves a lot of freedom of action in battle. The small silhouette makes the tank unnoticeable, this important quality, because The vehicle's armor is very weak.

The Chinese TT branch is often criticized by players for the lack of innovations and complete copying of USSR equipment, but this is not entirely true. Yes, Chinese TTs borrowed a lot from Soviet tanks, but they still brought their own “zest”.

The IS-2 will delight fans of fast and maneuverable TTs; the vehicle has an impressive cannon that allows it to penetrate higher-level vehicles, causing considerable damage. The body features make the IS-2 ricochet; shells often “bounce” off the vehicle, saving it from damage. Overall, playing this TT is very pleasant and comfortable.

This is our list of the best heavy tanks in World of Tanks. We hope that you choose the appropriate option for yourself, each technique has its own advantages, you just need to use them correctly.

    The best first level tanks in World of tanks

    Among tanks of the first level it is difficult to select favorites, but at high ranks you can distinguish excellent vehicles such as the IS-3, T-54, T-29 and others, but first things first.

    British Matilda tank

    This combat vehicle is protected better than heavy tanks of the fourth level. Being at the top Matilda capable of deciding the outcome of a battle, even remaining against several enemies. Of course, you have to pay for good armor with poor mobility. When getting into battles with opponents of the fifth and sixth levels, Matilda is not so good, but can still be useful due to a good top weapon.

    Hetzer anti-tank self-propelled gun

    The German tank destroyer is a nightmare for many fourth-tier tanks, because they cannot penetrate this vehicle head-on, while the Hetzer easily destroys them with one or two shots. Playing against senior level opponents for armor Self-propelled gun Hetzer you can’t count on it, but this machine will still be able to hit enemies from ambushes.

    The best tanks of the fifth level in World of tanks

    Among the cars of the fifth level we can distinguish Soviet heavy tank KV-1. Which, with proper play, remains impenetrable for many same-level opponents. The poor mobility of the KV-1 tank requires careful selection of the direction of attack, because returning across half the map in order to break the capture will not work. Among the advantages of the KV-1 tank, one can note the availability of several good guns - the rapid-fire Project 413, the universal F-30 85mm, and the high-explosive U-11 122mm.

    American tank destroyer T49

    An anti-tank self-propelled gun with a turret that allows this vehicle to be used, including as a medium or light tank. The T49 self-propelled gun is equipped with an excellent top-end weapon. Good mobility of this T49 tank destroyer sometimes used incorrectly by players, you should not go alone to the enemy base, where the T49 will quickly be destroyed.

    M-24 Chaffee

    American Chaffee tank- an excellent firefly, which can also attack enemies with a good, fast-firing weapon. After the introduction of new light tanks, Chaffee’s top gun was taken away, now this one is not so good, but it doesn’t even reach the tenth levels now.


    The best tanks of the sixth level in World of tanks

    At the sixth level, the KV-1S tank with an excellent D2-5T gun stood out, but it was divided into two combat vehicles - the KV-1 of the fifth level, and the KV-85 of the sixth level, which have not so impressive characteristics. .

    Hellcat in World of tanks

    American Hellcat tank destroyer has excellent dynamics and speed. Its top gun is capable of inflicting 240 units of damage, penetrating 160mm. There is practically no armor on the Helket; it is worth noting only the well-protected gun mantlet, which, together with good vertical aiming angles and a movable turret, allows you to shoot from behind hills and shelters without fear of a retaliatory hit.

    FV304 - new generation self-propelled guns

    On the sixth level, the favorite of many players is also located self-propelled art. FV304 installation With high mobility and a fast-firing gun, this vehicle shows good results.

    T 34-85 in WoT

    According to our readers, the T 34-85 should be included in the list of the best tanks in World of tanks in 2016. Indeed, we undeservedly ignored this combat vehicle. T 34-85 is a universal fighter, without pronounced weak characteristics and when used skillfully, it can change the outcome of a battle.

    The best tanks of the seventh level in Wot

    There are quite a few good combat vehicles located on the seventh level, but the American T-29 and the German tank destroyer E-25 are worth special mention.

    T-29 - play from the tower

    Tank T-29 at correct use can be considered the best heavy tank of its level. A powerful top-end gun, good vertical aiming angles and a thick turret forehead - these are best sides American TT that need to be used.

    American heavy tank T-29

    • ✔ Good weapon
    • ✔ Thick frontal armor

    The main thing when playing a T-29 is to hide the weakly protected hull, showing only the turret to the enemy. The T-29 performs well in hilly terrain, when shooting from cover, and can compete with Soviet vehicles (which are good in cities) in battles in urban areas. .



    Unavailable E-25

    Premium tank destroyer E-25 has a bonus when balancing teams - it does not fall on level nine tanks. This makes playing on it more comfortable, but it cannot be said that it is unbalanced. The only problem is that the E-25 was removed from sale.

    The best tanks of the eighth level in World of tanks

    At level eight, one of the most dangerous opponents is German tank destroyer Rheinmetall-Borsig Waffenträger. The low silhouette and excellent top and stock guns make this vehicle one of the best in the game. It is worth noting that for a good game on Rhm. Borsig, it is advisable to place it under the control of an experienced crew with good visibility and camouflage; in addition, you need to choose the right position, because weak armor will not leave you a chance if detected. If you think that the main thing in a combat vehicle is the weapon, then Rhm. Borsig for you.

    Armored KV-4 World of tanks

    Our readers consider the KV-4 to be one of the best tier eight tanks. Good armor and a penetrating top gun are excellent qualities for entering the top of the best tanks in WoT.


    Pike nose - IS-3

    Soviet IS-3 may not have any outstanding data, but based on the totality of characteristics it deserves to be noted on this list. Good armor, powerful weapon, good mobility. What else is needed for a good tank? The IS-3 has it all.

    Heavy tank IS-3

    • ✔ Good weapon
    • ✔ Durable armor
    • ✔ Ricochet silhouette

    The best tanks of the ninth level in World of tanks

    Among the machines of the ninth level we can highlight Soviet medium tank T-54, characterized by a low ricochet silhouette, good mobility and a good weapon. T-54 tanks are especially dangerous in a group, so find yourself an assistant in a random battle or play a T-54 in a platoon.

    Medium tank T-54

    • ✔ Good weapon
    • ✔ Ricochet silhouette
    • ✔ Good mobility

    Object 704 - BL-10 carrier

    In addition, I would highlight the Soviet PT-SAU Object 704, equipped with the famous BL-10 gun in the game (several years ago this gun was the most powerful among its analogues on tank destroyers and tanks). Also, Object 704 is well protected from the front; its armor plates are located at rational angles, which gives hope for a ricochet or non-penetration. The combination of these characteristics makes it possible to act on the second line of attack, being in the thick of things.

    Tank ST-1 at the ninth level

    In 2016, our readers consider the Soviet ST-1 to be one of the best at the ninth level. This tank can be equipped with a weapon that is used in WoT on the IS-4. At the ninth level it is very strong, and allows ST-1 to break into the rank of the best.


    There are quite a few good Tier 10 vehicles, these are the American T57 Heavy and T110E5, the Soviet T-62A and Object 263, the German JagdPanzer E100 and Waffentrager E-100, the French Bat Chatillon 25t, and the British FV215B. The style of play on these tanks is different and it is difficult to single out the best vehicle.

    The best tanks in WoT in 2017 - players' opinions

    Many WoT fans named their favorites in the comments. Let's see which tanks we underestimated. Among the best tanks in 2017, players most often named: medium T-34-85 and T-34, heavy ST1, KV2, KV4.


    The mentioned tanks are really very good, the T-34 and T-34-85 are universal fighters that have good mobility and a lethal weapon for the ST. They are capable of providing worthy resistance to any enemy, and in skillful hands they become machines for destruction. These Soviet STs have long been valued by players, but in 2017 the situation has not changed.

    The Soviet KV-2 has a 152 mm caliber gun, unique for a Tier 6 TT, which makes it a very strong opponent, but only with skillful shooting from a large-caliber gun.

    The KV-4 and ST-1 are distinguished by good armor and good armament, which allows them to be included among the best.

    We looked at a lot of tanks, many candidates for the list of the best were suggested by our readers, but not all vehicles in WoT are good, there are others that we identified in.
