Which tank to buy level 6. American tank destroyer T49

You all know that WG keeps statistics for each tank, and I will rely on these data. This will give you the opportunity to choose a technique for the game, which, according to average statistics, is slightly better than its counterparts at the same level. If I'm interested in you, then, perhaps, let's get started.
As you can see from the name, today we will consider tanks of the 6th level. Let's start, as usual, with the most armored tanks.

Heavy tanks

As we can see, the leader of this group was Kvass, which with update 9.3 will become a thing of the past and remain a pleasant memory. The second place was taken by a fun machine, which does not lose popularity among fans of “bend over” randomly. And this is understandable, damage of 700 units can upset any enemy. In third place, the tank in capable hands is still capable of dragging.

medium tanks

Let's see what we have with medium tanks. Who to give preference to and who can influence the outcome of the battle.

One of the favorites of the players remains the tank legend, but the undisputed leader in our statistics is still Cromwell, pushing the Soviet imba to second place. Closes the top three with a minimum gap good old Sherman who is able to take care of himself. It is impossible not to say a word about A-43, which stands out from the crowd in terms of the overall percentage of wins.

Light tanks

Let's move on to the class of light tanks, the so-called "fireflies", on the action of which the outcome of the battle largely depends. Playing this type of tank requires high concentration and the ability to make correct and timely decisions.

I don't think we saw any special surprises. Of course, MT-25 with a maximum speed of 72 km / h, it is capable of slipping in front of the enemy’s nose, while he is unlikely to even be able to react and come down. But still, I won’t dare to name special winners, since, judging by the statistics, they all go nose to nose.

PT-Sau

The next class of amateurs to shoot from the bushes is tank destroyers. There are a lot of interesting cars at this level and let's start looking at the statistics.

It's just that Hellcat's number of victories is off scale, and he is the leader of this level. No wonder the developers in patch 9.3 tried to slightly align its statistics with other PTs. But more concretely will be seen only next month. In the meantime, he is our winner, with which we congratulate him. No less popular holds just as confidently its position in our chat. A very good choice for raising statistics.

ACS

Well, here we imperceptibly approached the god of war -. Someone loves them, someone hates them, but it is an integral part of our game. How things are, let's see.

I think we did not expect a different result. Of course, the British one does not leave any chances for the same-level vehicles to bypass it in terms of percentage of victories. Speed, reloading, imbue accuracy... all these terms give a good chance to make a feasible contribution to the treasury of victory.

That's all for me. Let me remind you that we considered level 6 vehicles and the data at the time of publication of the article may change slightly. I will be glad to hear your opinion on the idea of ​​creating a similar topic. Write what levels you would like to see in the next release.

Thank you for your attention and good luck on the battlefields.

In this article, we will look at one of the most interesting and unlike any tank samples of German armored vehicles - the medium tank of the sixth level "VK3601(H)". This tank is not premium, but it can bring you a lot of money. This is one of the best tanks for earning credits and just having fun.

VK3601(H) - heavyweight among ST

Who or what is this strange, angular, but so powerful and interesting tank “VK3601(H)”? This is a tier 6 medium tank that has the most health of all medium tanks (of this tier) and one of the most powerful armor schemes that allows this tank to withstand a flurry of enemy fire, with the power of its frontal armor making attacks at long distances for tanks rivals are almost always useless. "VK3601(H)" is often called by players "little "Tiger"" because it has some visual similarity (angular shape, location of armor plates at right angles) and similarity in technical parameters (some sluggishness, average speed, poor acceleration dynamics as for medium tank and at the same time heavy-duty armor and health), which makes it more like heavy tanks.

Figure 1. Stock VK3601(H) with gun 7.5 cm KwK 40 L/48

Some players hate this tank, and without understanding its strengths, they pump it as quickly as possible and forget it like a nightmare. Others, on the contrary, having understood the whole essence of this powerful combat vehicle, regretfully accept the fact that the time of pumping "VK3601(H)" has flown by so unnoticed and it's time to buy a new car. "VK3601(H)" is an assault, breakthrough and defense tank at the same time, it can methodically push through the defense, it can come out from behind cover, get up and take aim, fire a volley and then, hiding behind powerful frontal armor, almost always retreat back with impunity (which not a single tank of its level can afford, and only the KV-13 and Panther can operate at a level higher, and even then with restrictions). "VK3601 (H)" is perhaps the only tank of its level among medium tanks, which, albeit with difficulty, can emerge victorious from a one-on-one battle with the "nasty Chinese" - "T-59". You won’t believe it, but “Types” often cannot penetrate our strong man in the forehead and climb into close combat, trying to go from the flanks and rear, and at the same time, opening their vulnerable sides, and if two “VK3601 (H)” meet with two “ T-59 "in such a situation, it is not yet a fact who will win. In any case, in a battle with a skilled tanker on the VK3601(H), the victory will come at a heavy cost to the Chinese. In general, the tank is very, very interesting, I think you will like it, just give yourself time to figure it out. And then we will look at the history of the creation of the prototype, tactics, opponents and general application, in general, everything is as in previous articles.

History reference

VK 3601(H)- this is a German, experienced, 36 ton, heavy tank from the Second World War of the Henschel company, further development of the project VK 3001(H). The project became one of the stages in the development of the Tiger tank, - the prototype became the development of this project VK 4501(H), which went into the series as Panzerkampfwagen VI "Tiger I". Many technical solutions were worked out on the prototype, which became the basis for the designs of German heavy tanks in World War II. A total of 6 chassis and 1 prototype were built.

Figure 2. Undercarriage VK3601(H) in testing

Technical and tactical features of the tank

Gun, cost of shells, twisting performance characteristics and more

So, we are dealing with a prototype, in reality this tank never took part in the hostilities, preference was given to the more powerful and more expensive Tiger. It is possible that if the Germans had decided on an additional release of this tank, as an alternative to the Pz-4, then perhaps the confrontation in WWII would have dragged on for an indefinite period. After all, an effective combat-ready medium tank is much cheaper and not so much inferior to heavy tanks, and, therefore, allows you to fill the army with a large number of combat-ready armored vehicles. Unlike real events, we have a unique opportunity in the game to control this unique combat unit. And the word "uniqueness" is not accidental here, you will not find such a different ST tank in any of the branches (the stunted "quick-spitting" French do not count). Already in the stock state, having a certain amount of free experience, we can install a conical gun on the tank, which, although it does little damage, hits quickly and well penetrates even thick armor. If you buy sub-calibers for this gun, then you will completely shock your opponents and make penetrations where they are not expected and to such tanks that, a priori, you would not have penetrated. This, of course, has a very distant relation to reality, since a sub-caliber projectile carried approximately the same charge power as a regular one (even less), in general, the power of the gun in terms of damage should have corresponded to 110-120 units (and not 165), similar to the line of German 75 mm guns.

Figure 3. Conical tool

But as they say - whoever pays, he leads the round dance, let's leave it on the conscience of the developers, because the love of money is the scourge of our century (it's good that the projectile has not yet been made controllable, otherwise the shelters would not have helped us fight with the "sub-caliber fans" J) . What is good for a major with "golds" just infuriates most players who do not use "cheat" shells, it is true, without "golds" there would be fewer paranormal situations in the game. I remember that it was back in the days of patch 0,6,6, only I bought myself a Yagpanther, I was very happy that I already had this beautiful (it's true) and in reality the most powerful self-propelled gun. But it turned out that in the game it was cut down to the point of impossibility, you already want to spit - the armor is weak, despite the rational angle of inclination of the frontal - the ricochets are rare, which is a lie in its purest form, the gun is "average" - the top gun has more damage by 100 units than from a less powerful counterpart, and the projectile costs four times more. Probably, they were cast from gold - in general, the notorious system of pumping money from the population from the “most popular” game from the legendary Wargaming is again in operation ... I understand this is a business, but why is it worse than Ferdinant, because in terms of combat effectiveness, Yaga ” really was much superior to the Fedya (in general, the Ferdinant is an assault gun, not a PT). Actually, then for the first time I thought, why cut equipment like that and why such a crazy inflation in shells? It’s clear with the first one - they mutilated a cool anti-tank gun in order to put the Ferdinant, which is far from being so effective in reality, at a higher level (honestly, it would be better if they made the Jagpanther premium, then it wouldn’t be so sick of this blatant lie and twisting real performance characteristics with far-fetched ones for the usual equipment not paid for with real money).

With shells, it also soon became clear that the higher the costs - the less money we have, therefore we will have to go buy at least a premium package, and in order to feel like a king in general - gold shells. As a result, we get more income and less costs due to the use of "gold" (for vehicles from the seventh level, almost all units, and especially PT and TT, the cost of a shot is equal to or slightly more than 1000 credits). But you and I are incredibly lucky here, the top gun of the VK 3601 (H) (8.8 KwK 36 L / 56) allows you to effectively hit most of the targets that we will encounter, even head-on and even from long distances - good The accuracy of the gun is excellent. The damage here is also decent, so farming on this tank will be easy, and given the ridiculous cost of repairs for its HP and armor power, the cost of maintaining the tank will be quite reasonable (in general, this tank, its younger brother "VK 3001 (H)", " M4A3E8" and "T-34-85" are some of the best tanks to farm and don't require any real financial outlay from you).

Figure 4. Comparative characteristics of tools

Having installed a conical gun, we get a more or less defensive vehicle, although it’s still too early for us to go on the attack - the stock chassis and engine do not give us any chances for a dynamic offensive movement. On the contrary, by the time we get to the collision site, everything will most likely be decided there. Therefore, we stand and defend the sharpest directions, since the powerful frontal and high armor penetration of the conical gun give us a chance to delay the enemy for a long time. Even if the team merges, you will get good experience and profit for the damage done to the enemy.

Figure 5. VK3601(H) with 75mm gun (KwK 42 L/70)

Having accumulated the necessary experience, install the top chassis, then, if desired, change the “conic” to the “ubershturmpushken” - “7.5 cm KwK L / 70”. Then you can put a new tower, although the top tower does not give us much more than an increase in HP. Having traveled a little more, you can put yourself an 88mm gun, but this is not for everyone. It is certainly more powerful, but the accuracy is lower, the rate of fire is lower, and the armor penetration is also somewhat lower (slightly, but sometimes it makes itself felt). In general, the L / 70 is often underestimated and for some reason they prefer to forget that they built the KV and T1 on the Pz-4 with this gun. And, in general, in vain, for the “leave, shoot and hide” tactics, it may not be as good as the 88-mm girlfriend (due to lower damage), but for rushing, “spinning” and “swinging” this gun is even better. The top gun, however, is supported by more damage and the fact that the VK 3601(H) looks just as intimidating with it.

Figure 6. Terrible view of VK3601(H) with top turret and cannon

In addition, with the top gun, we can use the “short strike” tactic, which means that we leave the cover, make a shot (deal a decent one-time damage) and immediately hide back, avoiding return fire. That is, at a time we deal almost the same damage with this gun (88 mm) as the “7.5 cm KwK L / 70” for 2 shots, but at the same time we risk less, as we quickly leave the line of fire. If you still score "golds" for the top gun, then you can even play a kind of young "Sneaker" - we left for ourselves, became a rhombus - we fired back and wait for reloading. If you use your “VK 3601(H)” like this, then the game will bring you a lot of pleasure and mountains of game silver, and don’t believe the negative reviews about the tank from the players who skated on it, just these people:

a) They hurried and did not really understand this tank;

b) He did not suit them psychologically. There are "attack people", as I call them, they are excellent fighters, but they simply cannot stand ambushes, waiting, and even the average speed of a tank, they need to move forward all the time - attack, destroy, overthrow. Therefore, "VK 3601 (H)", most likely, did not suit them due to its some slowness;

c) They didn't like the angular "VK 3601(H)" visually. As they say - "the soul does not lie." And without love, any undertaking is a burden and the "tank" is not to blame

I recommend - spend at least 100 battles on this tank and you will have a completely different look at it. To be honest, I was even a little sorry to sell it ... just a cool car (although initially I didn’t like this tank visually - but with experience you understand that the picture is not as important as the real quality, which is not to be occupied by this car).

Armor

I will not describe in detail the characteristics of the armor of this tank, you can read it on the official website of the game, but it is important for you to remember that we just have excellent frontal armor of 100 mm, both on the turret and on the hull, and this should be used as much as possible more often. That is, to go to the enemy not sideways, not backwards, but from the front, you can also use a small “tuck” (turn around a little sideways to the enemy) - this is how shells will ricochet from the side armor (the projectile meets the armor at an acute angle - less accentuated pressure on the armor - more sliding force, resulting in a high risk of rebound and a lower chance of penetration), and the frontal will be even more useful - so it will not only take a hit on itself, but also more often give out ricochets. In general, our armor is “capricious” and it is often not penetrated by tanks 2-3 levels higher. To be honest, after buying the Tiger and testing it in the field, I was once again convinced that the VK 3601 (H) has much more reliable frontal armor (only the frontal armor of the turret is very well armored in the Tiger).

Figure 7. Excellent health and armor indicators of the tank

They pierce us mainly into the lower armor plate, the very place that is covered by our caterpillar (the same problem was inherited by the Tiger). Therefore, we try to hide it behind the folds of the terrain, under fire it is necessary to “dance” more often, that is, wag the hull so that the projectile ricochets or at least becomes a rhombus (for the same purposes). In other words, you need to partially use the “Sneaker” tactics, our barrel, of course, is not so formidable, but the level of armor for our bar is very high. And then we have pretty good hull armor - 60mm on the side and back, and turrets - 80mm on the side and back, and add to that a health reserve of 850 HP. And this gives us a chance to strike repeatedly on equal and weaker opponents, even substituting (forcibly) under the blow of the side. What can I say, “VK 3601(H)” has such a high level of victories often because he is able to put almost any “peer” one on one on the shoulder blades due to high resistance to knockout.

Engines

We have at our disposal as many as three engines for "VK 3601 (H)":

1. Stock "Maybah HL 174" - 610 horsepower;
2. Intermediate "Maybah HL 210 P30" - 650 horsepower;
3. Top "Maybah HL 230 P45" - 750 horsepower

We start with a stock engine and it's a little depressing - the speed is quite low. With the installation of the second engine, the situation improves somewhat, and then it becomes more fun to fight, it becomes possible to quickly change positions and enter the enemy from the flank. With the installation of a top-end engine, our car almost starts to fly in a straight line, with turns the situation is worse than that of the VK 3001 (H), but clearly better than that of the KV-3. Now, in addition to powerful armor, we get excellent speed and good maneuverability. This gives us a whole range of tactical options - for example, we can “fidget” a heavy weapon, such as the KV-3, which has powerful armor and a cannon, but low speed, shoots infrequently and inaccurately. You drive up a short distance, hit him on the sides and make a "swing" (move back and forth), as a result, he often misses, and you, thanks to an accurate and fast gun, often hit and pierce (from a short distance on the side of the "KV-3" breaks through well). We have a fairly high fire probability - 20% for all types of engines, so save your feed and take fire extinguishers - a slap in the engine at such a distance is a sufficient incentive to ignite.

Take Our Poll

Up to the sixth level, the game is played relatively quickly and easily. But at the sixth level, difficulties begin to arise associated with various modifications of tanks. A variety of models of tanks leaves its mark on the game. Some tanks are better suited for mountainous terrain, some for flat terrain, some for ranged and close combat, some designed to break through the rest of the forces. By evaluating all these parameters, we can determine the best of them.

Best Heavy Tank Tier 6

The main function of heavy tanks is twofold. On the one hand, they must participate in breaking through the enemy formation, and on the other hand, they must restrain such enemy attempts. Therefore, the main thing for heavy tanks will be the thickness of the front armor and the effectiveness of the gun. The undoubted leader in these indicators is the KV-85 tank. The tank has 122 mm, but it is better to put a gun in 85 mm. This weapon is capable of penetrating armor of tanks and a level higher, and its rate of fire and accuracy will allow you to disable enemy tank modules. And armoring the front and turret of the tank will make it possible to contain the enemy's advance.

The best medium tank tier 6

The main function of medium tanks is to support the offensive, the enemy from the flanks and to detect the enemy. The main indicators for a medium tank will be maneuverability and the ability to conduct aimed fire while moving. All medium tanks are equipped with guns with low penetration, so gun accuracy is important here. The ability of a medium tank to knock out an enemy caterpillar in time and immobilize it comes to the fore. According to such indicators, the best tank is the British Cromwell tank. Its amazing speed of 62 km/h with excellent maneuverability allows it to freely flank the enemy and disable tank destroyers and heavy tank modules.

Best light tank tier 6

The function of light tanks is to detect the enemy. The tank may not have a good gun, have weak armor, but it must have excellent visibility and speed. Having detected the enemy at early approaches, the light tank makes it possible for artillery to engage in battle and significantly reduce the strength of the enemy. The American T-37 tank has such speed and visibility at the sixth level. Having a small mass and excellent maneuverability, the tank can easily sneak behind enemy lines and detect its artillery. The discovery of artillery and its destruction at the early stages of the development of a battle sometimes decides its outcome.

AT game world of Tanks the most important thing is tanks. Here are real-life combat vehicles, each of which has its own unique history. This is partly why this game is so popular in the world. Each player finds a good tank for himself in World of Tanks and calls it ideal. But in this review, we will look at the most attractive cars that are fun to play and fight for the victory of your team.

It is quite difficult to select the top 10 World of Tanks tanks. After all, every car is good in its own way. Some tank will be very fast, some will be powerful, and some will combine both high speed and power. And by what criteria to determine the effectiveness of the unit? However, each level has its own most successful combat vehicles, which we will try to highlight.

We note right away that we will start the review of good tanks in World of Tanks immediately from the fifth level, since below this level, frivolous combat vehicles are used. They can hardly be called effective and interesting. In the WOT game, serious battles begin from the fifth level and above.

Level 5

To summarize, there are only 3 best tanks in World of Tanks level 5. The first of them is the Soviet KV-1 unit. This is a fairly well-known Soviet machine, which was a great success on the battlefields against Nazi Germany. This tank has a solid historical component, powerful all-round armor and diverse weapons. All this made the tank a serious reputation in the game. Almost every gamer of the older generation considers it his duty to buy this tank and pump it to the maximum.

The second best tank in World of Tanks 2017 is also the Soviet T-34. She also has a rich history. It is believed that the T-34 combat vehicles changed the course of the war. In the game, this tank is valued for its high maneuverability, as well as for the 57 mm ZiS-4 gun, which easily penetrates armor but does little damage. The WOT game has two popular development branches for medium and heavy tanks. At the fifth level, gamers have the opportunity to purchase such combat vehicles.

There is also a cool one, but it's hard to get it. In the game, users call him "imba", that is, a car that does not match the balance. Has circular armor. It can hardly be penetrated by a level 5 cannon. Even "sixes" often cannot damage the armor of the KV-220 tank.

Level 5 Bonus

A bonus on the fifth level is the T67 combat vehicle - an American anti-tank self-propelled gun with high movement speed, stealth, low silhouette, and most importantly - high armor penetration. The unit easily destroys tanks of its level with one shot.

Level 6

At the sixth level, the best tanks in World of Tanks are represented by one Soviet and two British combat vehicles. It’s worth starting with the legendary T-34-85, monuments to which are in many Russian cities.

T-34-85 is a medium tank of the USSR, which has maneuverability and a good gun that can penetrate strong armor. High accuracy, rate of fire, maneuverability make the unit popular. Also, his demand is explained by a rich military history, but this does not play a role in his fighting qualities, which are at their best. With well-chosen tactics, positions and shells, many experienced players on this tier 6 vehicle won against more powerful tier 8 tanks.

The second good tank in World of Tanks tier 6 is the English Cromwell. The car is good for extras. Unlike the Soviet T-34-85, the British "Cromwell" has no armor at all, which is why the car received a huge speed of movement and a high-speed gun. All this gives a significant advantage to the player who, without any problems, "shines" enemy tanks for his team.

The third level tank is the Sherman Firefly. This combat vehicle has a cool OQF 17-pdr Gun Mk. VII, which allows you to effectively fight even against older tanks of the 8th level.

Level 6 Bonus

The bonus at this level is the Soviet KV-2 tank with very powerful armor and a 152 mm M-10 cannon. This machine is capable of fighting even with units of the 10th level, not to mention the combat vehicles of its level. However, getting this tank is quite difficult. Therefore, it is extremely rare in the game, which cannot be said about the T-34-85. This is one of the most popular models, which is in the arsenal of almost every player.

Level 7

According to many gamers, the seventh level of the game is the most balanced. Consequently, it is difficult to single out equipment that would have significant advantages over other combat vehicles.

The first good tank in World of Tanks of the seventh level is the IS or IS-2. Both machines are almost identical to each other. So let's add them to this list. The IS is one of the most popular tanks in the game and is quite famous for its powerful cannon, mobility and armored turret. If such a tank of the seventh level gets into battle with equal vehicles and tanks of a lower level, then the allied team has an easy time - the IS always goes ahead in battle. And often it ends well. If the IS gets into combat with higher level tanks, then sniping is a good tactic that also pays off.

The second unit is the Tiger I. This German heavy tank took part in World War II. It also has a rich history, and in the yoke, its implementation is simply amazing. The vehicle has 1500 hit points and is equipped with a Kw.K. 43L/71. It is pleasant and fun to play on such a tank. But if the vehicle gets into battle with tanks of a higher level, then tactics need to be built, as for anti-tank artillery.

The third best vehicle is the T29 heavy tank with powerful armor, which sometimes even Tier 9 vehicles cannot penetrate. Of course, it has its advantages, but there are also weaknesses. A good balance between armor, mobility and damage makes this vehicle almost universal and easy to use on the battlefield, which explains the popularity of the tank.

Tier 7 Premium Tank

At level 7, the best premium tank in World of Tanks is the so-called "Gatling machine gun", or "flea" - this is the German E-25 anti-tank self-propelled gun. This is a very small car that is hard to get into. It causes a lot of problems for clumsy and "blind" vehicles like Soviet TT tanks. The E-25 deals little damage. However, the rate of fire and accuracy infuriate opponents who fall under the scope of this "flea". Unfortunately, this machine has become so popular that it is no longer even on sale. However, there are no fewer of them on the battlefield, because those players who managed to buy it or win it for completing tasks actively use it to "farm" money.

The seventh level is so rich in cool tanks that the following vehicles are worth highlighting separately:

1. T-34-1.
2. Spähpanzer SP I C.
3. LTTB.
4. M41 Walker Bulldog.

All of these models should also be on this list.

Level 8

At this level, there are already quite serious tanks that take part in company battles, global maps, and fortified areas.

In the World of Tanks is the best level 8 tank is IS-3. Such a vehicle is ideal for all the battle modes listed above due to its frontal armor of the turret and hull, high-quality gun, low silhouette and mobility. All this makes such a tank successful on the battlefield.

In second place is the FCM 50t, a very difficult machine to play and one that newbies will constantly lose on. This is a slow and large tank without armor, which is easy to destroy. However, experienced players set records on this tank again and again. As an analogue, we can offer AMX Chasseur de chars. In this car, the armor is even weaker. However, this tank has a high camouflage factor, making it difficult to spot. Also, the model has a very high speed, which is guaranteed by the Maybach HL 295 F engine with a capacity of 1200 horsepower. Among the best medium tanks in World of Tanks, AMX Chasseur de chars deserves attention in the first place. But you need to be able to play on it, and a beginner cannot recommend such a machine for combat.

The AMX 50100 is the next best tier 8 tank that is often found in company battles and fortified areas. Such a combat vehicle is capable of destroying any tank of its class in 1-2 shots and quickly "escape" from the scene of the crime. This is how most players try to use the machine. The tank's biggest drawback is its long reload time, lasting 50 seconds. During this time, the tank is "meat" for the enemy. The second weak point is the lack of armor. However, this is typical of many French cars.

Level 8 Bonus

Tier 8 bonus tanks are the English-made Charioteer tank destroyers and the Japanese STA 1 medium tank. These are hidden combat vehicles that are perfectly camouflaged. Therefore, it is appropriate to use them as support for allied tanks that are fighting on the main battlefield.

9th level

The improved tank VK 45.02 (P) Ausf is an imba (that is, an unbalanced vehicle), which, with new strong armor, represents one of the best tanks in the later levels. The technique perfectly restrains the onslaught of the enemy and can be at the forefront of the attack. However, it is important for her not to "shine". After all, the sides of the tank are very weak, and a projectile hit from the side will be fraught with bad consequences. But mobility partly solves this problem.

The second model is the medium German tank E 50. This is a universal vehicle that can suddenly open on an unexpected part of the map, entering from behind enemy lines. It can also be used as a heavy tank for frontal attack. Thanks to high mobility and a powerful accurate cannon, playing the "epis" (as this model is called by the players) is a lot of fun. This machine gives the player many options for combat, and he decides which tactics to choose. For an experienced gamer, this opens up great opportunities, but it will be quite pleasant for a beginner to ride this tank. However, if a player has reached level 9, then he can hardly be called a beginner.

M103 is the third best tier 9 heavy tank. This American example has high armor in front, which can withstand hits from large calibers. Therefore, it is appropriate to use it in battle as the main penetrating force. And if the map allows, then due to good mobility, the tank allows you to play "cat and mouse" with enemies.

Level 9 Bonus

The bonus vehicle at level 9 is the Soviet medium tank T-54. The developers worsened this car several times, reducing the thickness of the hull armor. However, such a tank is still very popular and a worthy contender for the title of the best. High speed, low silhouette and mobility are the advantages of the machine.

10th level

At the last, 10th, level, there are the best tanks, which are to some extent the result of the technical development of each nation. All cars of this level have their own "chips" and have good characteristics. Naturally, there are even imbs like ART-SAU, PT 10 and Waffenträger auf, which should be replaced.

In general, the best tank world of Tanks level 10 is almost impossible to single out. After all, it is always about extremes. There are huge "cast-iron walls" that are difficult to break through, there are powerful drum heavy vehicles, as well as diverse medium tanks. Therefore, the player will have to make a choice and determine for himself which tank is better in World of Tanks. After all, the excellent balancing of the game does not allow us to single out the best car that would be superior to others in all (or at least half) parameters. Therefore, among the "dozens" it is impossible to single out any one tank.

Conclusion

Each player determines the best combat vehicle for himself to the best of his abilities and playing style.

The best tanks of the fifth level in World of tanks

Among the machines of the fifth level, one can distinguish Soviet heavy tank KV-1. Which, with a competent game, remains impenetrable for many rivals of the same level. The poor mobility of the KV-1 tank requires a careful choice of the direction of attack, because it is impossible to return through the floor of the map in order to break the capture.

Hellcat in World of tanks

American Tank destroyer Hellcat has excellent dynamics and speed. Its top gun is capable of dealing 240 damage, penetrating 160mm. Armor on the Helket is practically absent, it is worth noting only a well-protected gun mantlet, which, together with good vertical aiming angles and a mobile turret, allows you to shoot from behind hills and shelters without fear of a return hit.

FV304 - new generation self-propelled guns

On the sixth level, there is also a favorite by many players self-propelled art. installation FV304, with high mobility and a quick-firing gun, this machine 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 disregarded this combat vehicle. T 34-85 is a universal fighter, without pronounced weak characteristics and with skillful use it is able to turn the outcome of the battle.

Best Tier 7 Tanks in Wot

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

T-29 - play from the tower

Tank T-29 when used correctly, it can be considered the best heavy tank of its level. A powerful top gun, good vertical aiming angles and a thick forehead of the tower - that's the best sides American TT to be used.

American heavy tank T-29

• ✔ Good weapon
• ✔ Thick frontal armor

The main thing when playing on the T-29 is to hide a weakly protected hull, showing the enemy only a tower. 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. .

Inaccessible E-25

Premium Tank Destroyer E-25 has a bonus when balancing teams - it does not get to the tanks of the ninth level. This makes the game more comfortable on it, but it cannot be said that it is unbalanced. The only problem is that the E-25 was removed from the sale.

The best tanks of the eighth level in World of tanks

At the eighth level, 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 should be noted that for a good game on Rhm. Borsig is desirable to give her 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 in case of detection. If you think that the main thing in a combat vehicle is a weapon, then Rhm. Borsig is for you.

Armored KV-4 World of tanks

Our readers consider the KV-4 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

Medium tank T-54

• ✔ Good weapon

Object 704 - carrier BL-10

In addition, I would single out the Soviet Tank Destroyer Object 704, equipped with the famous BL-10 gun in the game (a few years ago, this gun was the most powerful among its counterparts on tank destroyers and tanks). Also, the 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 will let you 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 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 CT-1 to break into the ranks of the best.

There are quite a few good vehicles of the tenth level, 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, the British FV215B. The style of play on these tanks is different and it is difficult to single out the best vehicle.
