The coolest tank in the world of tanks. Tips for beginners: which tank is better in World of tanks, and how to buy it

Hello, dear friends. In the world of online games, all kinds of simulators have long occupied a significant place, but, perhaps, no simulator of driving a car, train, plane or ship can compare with a tank simulator. Because it’s one thing to just plow roads, seas or clouds, and quite another thing to also take some serious hits. Our thoughts today are intended to establish the best tank in World of Tanks, since it was this brainchild of Belarusian developers that received the most attention and love from fans of online toys: there are more than a million subscribers in RuNet alone.

From this article you will learn:

Where to run, what to look at?

“World of Tanks” is a whole world because the number of models in the game is slightly less than five hundred. In other words, the question of choice can confuse an experienced player, and a beginner can even lose consciousness for several days. It’s good that there is such an invention of mankind as classification, and equipment in WoT is grouped, firstly, by nations (Soviet, German, British, American, French, Chinese and Japanese), and secondly, by type of weapons and armor (light, medium, heavy, tank destroyers and self-propelled guns). You can also divide all the tanks available in the game according to the method the player receives them into regular (which are purchased for game currency), premium (here, of course, you can’t do without investing real money) and gift or promotional (free tanks given for completing certain tasks or participation in promotions).

The question about the “best” tank is, perhaps, incorrect - tanks are still different types, and arguing about what is better to play on - heavy or PT - is the same as comparing a table with a cabinet. Different models are designed for different tasks, so we will look at several machines that can be considered the best in their group.

What to strive for?

It's easy to say that development should be based on the player's preferences. Which, in general, is quite logical - some people like to act as a “firefly”, others like to sit in ambush. But you can also shine and hide in different ways, so the question of which tank to buy so as not to be disappointed in the future is a very personal question. Of course, you can read guides (which is absolutely necessary if you don’t want to constantly lose), but in order to choose the right development branch, you must first decide what you want to get in the end. Therefore, we will start from the end and make a short review of the most popular and effective Tier 10 tanks.

Heavy tanks

The main task of heavy tanks is to “squeeze out” the front. And for this they must be very thick in armor and quite serious in damage. In short, heavy tanks “tank”, that is, they push right through. Of course, it’s better not to expose yourself to attack, because even the strongest armor can be found with a projectile that will penetrate it very well. And yet, it is heavy tanks that are best suited for those who like an aggressive playing style. You can tank in different ways - from the tower, from the side, in a diamond, reverse diamond, etc. Which tactic to choose depends on many things. For example, the German “Tiger” is better, let’s say, in the second line, because its heavy armor is quite average, but it hits well. On the other hand, the Tiger can quite successfully tank in the first line, if the opponents are mainly his classmates.

So which ones should you download? We settled on two models, and we can’t choose which one is better, so we’ll tell you about both.

IS-7. Soviet. Once upon a time it was just a super-heavy tank, at the moment the developers have nerfed it a little (editor's note, lowered the performance), but it is still among the top best heavy tanks. very cool, runs pretty fast. The armor, however, is mediocre, but due to the angles of the armor it often ricochets, and even if they aim at you from the side, they can hit the bulwark. If you are riding an IS-7, try not to turn your rear towards the enemy - such a hit will cause the tank to burn with a clear flame.

E-100. This is a serious German heavy, with very cool armor and, accordingly, rather weak damage. You are given a choice of two guns, which differ in terms of rate of fire, armor-piercing and damage. Large and slow, so it is a good target for artillery, but due to its size it can, for example, penetrate the same IS-7 head-on. A terrible tank, in general. They are afraid of him. In addition, he has as much as 2700, and if you place the tank in a diamond shape, then ricochets and non-penetration often occur even in the NLD (editor's note, lower frontal part).

Medium tanks

They are not designed to hold damage. Their job is to enter from the rear or flank, inflict constant (albeit small) damage and, if possible, work with lamps. Medium tanks do not have as much armor as heavy tanks, but they are much more mobile, and due to the constant opportunity to shoot, they often deal more damage overall during the battle than heavy tanks.

The living embodiment of everything said about the “middle peasants” above is the T-62A tank. The main advantage of the T-62A is the accuracy and rate of fire of the gun, especially if the crew is well-trained. In skillful hands, this tank allows you to keep the enemy’s vehicle on the gullet for the entire battle, and what’s more, you can stop three noobs around the corner (especially if they don’t realize that they can attack at the same time, they crawl out one by one, and you give them splashes, because the speed recharging allows).

Plus, in its development branch there are models that are easy to master even for a beginner (for example, the legendary T-34, T-34-85 and A-44).

Light tanks

Let's say right away that if you are a beginner player, your first tank (as part of your aspiration and development) should in no case be easy. It's very difficult. Firstly, their armor is naturally made of paper (with the exception of the French sand armor, which ricochets strongly, but crawls like turtles). Secondly, single damage. It would seem, why are they needed at all?

We need it, we need it! Light tanks also have plenty of goodies. Firstly, they are the most maneuverable in the game, hence the conclusion - “first catch up, then beat them.” So if you turn your head 360 degrees and reel in on time, success is guaranteed. Secondly, light tanks have the best camouflage, they are the most difficult to notice, but they, in fact, are designed to highlight enemy vehicles. There is one more feature - the battle balancer deliberately assigns light tanks to battles of a higher level. For some this is not very good (because it’s a loss), for others it’s the opposite (experience). However, everything is quite logical - only players with straight arms can constantly play on a light tank. And there are also plenty of inept brakes in WoT, believe me.

If we talk about the best lightweight model, then in our opinion it is the Chinese WZ-132. Why is it good - even in stock, it already brings full assistance to the team, and the elite WZ-132, and even in capable hands, is created not to expose itself to a one-shot, but to quietly shine light, and, if desired, shoot from shelters.

Anti-tank self-propelled artillery mount

She is a tank destroyer or simply a “pet”. The PT's camouflage is very good; its purpose is to inflict serious damage at a long distance, helping to hold the enemy's flanks and breakthrough lines. They are well armored in front, but unfortunately, they are made of cardboard on the sides and back. Their one-time damage is much greater than the damage of heavy tanks, but in most cases, aligning the sight takes an unacceptably long time.

Beginners can start with American PTs - unlike most other models, Americans have turrets, which allows them to adapt faster. If we talk about the coolest anti-tank gun in the game, then in our opinion it is the French AMX 50 Foch (155). Penetration is 5, the gun has a drum for three shells. Quite maneuverable, and the frontal armor often ricochets. Can destroy any tank in literally seconds.

Self-propelled artillery installation

She is a self-propelled gun or just art. It has no armor at all, but it hits powerfully and from afar. The art has a special battle mode - you will see the battle map on top. If you are a beginner player, it is better to pay attention to the British and French branches. Of course, the Soviet Object 261 is considered one of the best self-propelled guns, but getting to it is not so easy. Therefore, in this review we will highlight Bat as the best art. -Chatillon 155 58. French machine, less damage than its classmates, but the drum has 4 shells.

In addition, it is small and maneuverable, therefore unnoticeable, and as soon as it happens you can run, and you’ll catch up. Ideally, you can change position while reloading - both for the benefit of the battle and time well spent.

And now about the levels

As you know, there are ten levels of development in the game. Moreover, practice shows that the very last levels are not as popular as the penultimate ones (according to statistics, it is the eighth level that is the most playable and popular among players). Now we will explain why.

The first four (or even five) levels among players are somewhat derisively called “sandbox”. Well, in fact, if you have a level 2 tank, nothing special is required to play. This is a bit of a trial run, people are just exploring the environment and deciding what style of play suits them best.

Levels 5 to 7 are a kind of “profitable” period. Farm, farm and farm again. Because the further you go, the more expensive the battles become.

Levels 8, 9 and 10 – that’s it, the ceiling. Terribly increases self-esteem and allows you to command incompetent teammates in voice chat. In addition, you need a lot of money for participating in battles at these levels, very expensive shells and repairs.

And so, having reviewed the top, we returned to the beginning - what should a beginner do and which development branch to choose?

In the sandbox, the difference between tank classes is not so noticeable (except that the features of artillery are clear). Choosing a playing style is also difficult, because you can level up to level 4 without much effort in a couple of hours. Therefore, a novice player first of all needs to choose a branch through which he can understand as many aspects of the game as possible. Plus, a beginner should not attempt too complex things, which means that:

• The tank must have high gun accuracy and good DPM;
• The armor must also be sufficient to withstand beginner mistakes;
• Maneuverability is important;
• The development branch should contain machines that are easy to master and meet the above requirements.

In our opinion, the first thing a newcomer should attend to is to pay tribute to patriotism. Moreover, it is good for gaming health.

This refers to the branch of Soviet heavyweights leading to the IS-7. Why it’s good - already from level 5 you will have to ride almost perfect heavy tanks (well, with some minor deviations). In addition, in addition to the IS-7, there are two more tanks in this branch that become leaders in battles of different modes - the IS-3 and KV-1.

But if you only have one tank in your hangar, it's boring. In addition, there are often cases when you are beaten long before the end of the battle. So you can replenish the hangar and simultaneously master other types of equipment.

To get started, three branches will be enough. You already have one, we offer two more:

• a branch of medium tanks made in Soviet, which leads to the T-62A;
• branch of tank destroyers made in France, leading to the AMX 50 Foch (155).

And in conclusion let's say

Straight hands rule. With straight arms, any tank is the best.

However, it wasn’t us who said it, but Captain Obvious. :)

On the other hand, straight-handedness comes in the process of playing on a single tank. So try it. In the end, you will find your style and beat everyone, and even better if you find your team made up of your friends. Read our blog with them and show your opponents who you are and what you are capable of! That's all for today, see you again and have a good game.

As you all know, there are several types of vehicles in World of Tanks, and each type has its own characteristics, some have stronger armor, some have less light, and some have excellent mobility. Naturally, light tanks, or as they are commonly called, fireflies, are rightfully considered the most mobile type of equipment. Yes, most of them have rather mediocre weapons, and there’s nothing to talk about armor, but all these shortcomings are compensated by one of the most important characteristics of the game - speed. So let's talk about the most mobile tanks in World of Tanks, highlight 5 favorites among them and find out which tank is the fastest.

Top 5 fast tanks

So, the fact that light tanks are the fastest and most mobile in the game is undeniable. However, speed is not the only feature that I want to talk about. Let's make the top 5 tanks, the main parameter of which will be maximum speed, but we will also pay attention to other features of the vehicles that are no less important in battle.

Among the five under consideration, let us pay attention to the following fireflies:
RU 251;
T-54 lightweight;
Pz. 1 C;
AMX ELC bis;
59-16.

Each of the tanks listed has excellent mobility indicators, they are indeed very fast, but what else is special about them and what maximum speed they can develop, let's talk in more detail.

This light tank, located at the eighth level in the German development tree, is not in vain in first place on our list. The fact is that it is capable of reaching a maximum speed when moving forward up to 80 km/h. No one has a higher figure than this. The specific engine power of this firefly is almost 20 horsepower per ton, and it weighs only 25.7 tons in the top configuration.

One of the notable things about this tank is also worth noting the gun, it is simply magnificent, because its damage per minute is 2323 units and this is the best indicator at the level among light tanks. Penetration here is also okay, the gun is capable of penetrating armor 190 mm thick, and if we load gold shells, then we won’t even care about a metal thickness of 250 mm.

Otherwise, all that remains to be said is that with camouflage this firefly is doing just fine, visibility of 400 meters without taking into account equipment is enough for the eyes, but in maneuverability it loses to the other eight, that is, the chassis of the RU 251 rotates at a speed of 38 degrees per second.

The Pz.Kpfv takes second place in the World of Tanks racer rankings. 1 Ausf. C, or simply Pz. 1 C. What does a tier 3 tank do on this list, you ask. The thing is that this German firefly accelerates to 79 km/h, and this figure is the second among all vehicles in the game.

Otherwise, it is worth noting that this machine is a lot of fun, because in addition to its speed, it received not a cannon, but an entire machine gun, spitting out shells one after another at breakneck speed. Yes, the damage of each shot is small, but the rate of fire in this case decides a lot, especially if you are shooting at an enemy of your level.

This is where the fun and pleasant aspects of this machine end, because it throws it into battles of the 3rd, 4th and 5th levels, and the penetration of 33 mm is not enough against large opponents, so all that remains is to use the enormous speed, driving into the enemy stern, shine and hunt artillery.

T-54 lightweight

And again we return to a serious conversation, because now in front of you is a light tank of the 8th level of the USSR - the T-54 lightweight. Many will call this car the best firefly, and in some ways they will be right. The tank is capable of reaching a speed of 69 km/h. The indicator, of course, does not reach the top value, but the maneuverability of the T-54 region. significantly higher than the RU 251, as much as 48 degrees per second, the rotation speed of the chassis. This means that it will be much easier to spin the enemy, sharply change the direction of movement, practically without slowing down, which is very important for a real firefly.

This vehicle's camouflage is also very good, but the gun and visibility are a little less than perfect, the latter figure being 390 meters.

By the way, from the features and advantages, the T-54 region. got a very well armored firefly turret. The frontal armor of the turret is 160 mm, and this allows you to sometimes catch ricochets even from medium and heavy tanks of the 8th level.

AMX ELC bis

Another bright representative of the light tank class, but from the French research tree, located at the fifth level. Yes, this car can reach a speed of 65 km/h, there are higher figures, but the AMX ELC bis, or just a Christmas tree, made it to this top not only because of its speed, the car is truly unique.

The visibility of the tree is 360 meters, the rotation speed of the chassis is 38 degrees per second, even the turret does not rotate, so what is special about this tank? And it’s all about incredible camouflage and a brilliant top gun, the average one-time damage of which is as much as 240 units, when penetrating 170 mm with a standard shell and 248 with a gold one.

Remembering camouflage, if you install a camouflage net on a tank and stand somewhere in the bushes, then you can shine without fear of being discovered, even if they approach you almost closely, just don’t even think about shooting. Thus, taking into account the indicators of speed, acceleration, camouflage and lethal weapon, we can safely say that the Christmas tree deservedly takes 4th place in this top.

And the last firefly in our top proudly wears the flag of China on its body. The sixth tier light tank called 59-16 is not very popular, like this entire branch of Chinese light vehicles, but there is something to see here. The fact is that this vehicle has a maximum speed of 60 km/h, it picks it up quite quickly, but the main criterion for quality is the maneuverability of the tank, since the turning speed of the 59-16 chassis is as much as 52 degrees per second. This figure is almost a record among all the equipment in the game, and this inspires respect.

Otherwise, the vehicle is not the best; the armament installed here is rather mediocre, while the top gun is worse than the pre-top gun in terms of penetration and accuracy. But there is one more plus - camouflage, which the fast Chinese can also boast of.

We draw a conclusion

To summarize, I would like to say that the fastest tank in terms of maximum speed is the RU-251; this vehicle is really very interesting and comfortable in battle if you learn to take advantage of its advantages. However, each tank from our five has its own outstanding characteristics and features, so fans of fast driving and the light tank class are recommended to try out all of these vehicles; it will not be surprising if some of them remain in your hangar forever.

In this article you will find out which tank is the heaviest, which is the fastest, which vehicle has the strongest rear and much more. All vehicles in the game take part in this competition, including rare premium and promotional tanks.

Only tanks that are undergoing testing will not be taken into account. All characteristics are taken into account with a 100% upgraded crew and top modules, without equipment and consumables.

What is the heaviest tank in WoT?

The maximum weight, taking into account all modules in the game, is for the heavy tank of the tenth level Maus. This monster weighs almost 190 tons, that's like a 24 ELC AMX or like a 29 MC-1. However, it is not the slowest car in the game. Only this tank can ram anyone indiscriminately, because its weight and armor will allow it to emerge victorious in any ramming.

The easiest

The winner in this category is the French tank destroyer of the third level Renault UE 57. This baby weighs only 2,800 kg. Interestingly, its chassis is designed to weigh 7800 kg. Its engine power is only 48 horsepower.

The most expensive according to experience

The longest you'll have to wait is for the new German Rheinmetall Panzerwagen. The cost of upgrading it is 298,000 experience points. This is the most expensive tank to research. In terms of credits, it is no different from its classmates and costs the standard 6,100,000 credits, which is the price all tanks of the tenth level have.

Which tank in WoT spins around the fastest?

In addition to movement speed, the game has a turn speed indicator, which is different for each vehicle. First on this list is the German Tier 1 Leichttraktor tank. Its turning speed is 66 degrees per second, but the famous Mouse has a turning speed of only 15 degrees per second.

Which tank turns around the slowest?

The slowest tank to turn is the French second-tier artillery Renault FT 75 BS. It only has 14 degrees per second, which is very slow.

Which tank has the lowest durability?

The Soviet self-propelled gun of the second level SU-18 has the lowest number of hit points. To kill her, it is enough to deal 70 damage to her. This amount of HP is 43 times less than that of the “fattest” tank in the game, Mouse, who has 3000 hit points.

Which tank in WoT accelerates the fastest?

Acceleration depends on specific power, it is calculated by dividing the tank's mass by the engine power. There is also a variable in the form of soil resistance, but it can be missed. The highest specific power in the game is the Soviet light tank of the tenth level T-100 LT. Weighing 18 tons, it has a 720 hp engine, its specific power is 48 hp/t. This is a huge figure; the same ELC AMX has only 26.6 hp/t.

Which tank has the highest maximum speed?

The maximum speed in the game is for the third level German light tank Pz.Kpfw. I Ausf. C. It can accelerate to 79 km/h. However, its specific power is very small and it will not be able to reach such speed instantly.

Which tank has the slowest top speed?

If the long-suffering T95 immediately came to mind, then you are wrong. After “serious” processing, she flutters across the field like a butterfly at a speed of 20 km/h. The unfortunate winner of this category only dreams of this. The British tank destroyer of the fifth level Archer has a maximum speed of only 13 km/h.

The slowest

The French light tank of the second level D1 has the lowest specific power, its specific power is only 6.09 hp/t. At the same time, the maximum speed of 28 km/h looks like a mockery, because it can only achieve it from a hill.

Which tank has the best gun depression angles?

How tired many players are of uneven maps, where many tanks can only look up, and to shoot you have to completely roll over an obstacle. The Japanese light tank of the first level Renault Otsu has the largest negative gun depression angles. Its gun moves down 22 degrees.

Which tank has the highest damage per minute?

If you think that one of the new STs will win this nomination, then this is a big misconception. The British Tier 9 tank destroyer Tortoise has the highest damage per minute. Its top weapon can generate 3380 damage per minute, this figure is 37 damage more than the top Swedish tank destroyer Strv 103B. As mentioned above, this is damage per minute without additional equipment on a top-end configuration with a 100% upgraded crew without perks.

Which tank has the longest reload time?

As you may have guessed, this is artillery. The first place in this parameter is occupied by the Soviet level seven self-propelled gun SU-14-1; its top gun takes 53.2 seconds to reload, which is 1.2 seconds more than the Bat.-Châtillon 155 58 cassette gun.

Which tank in WoT has the largest caliber gun?

The largest gun is the American tier ten T92 HMC self-propelled gun. The barrel caliber is 240mm, which is 7mm more than that of the second contender for the British tier ten self-propelled gun Conqueror GC.

Which tank has the fastest firing gun?

If we exclude cluster tanks, then the fastest gun reload is on the Swedish light tank of the third level Strv m/40L. Without modules, perks, or consumables, his top gun takes exactly 2 seconds to reload.

Which tank has the fastest aiming?

Here the German premium third-tier medium tank Pz.Kpfw comes out on top. S35 739(f). Its gun is brought down in 1.14 seconds. This is the highest figure among all vehicles in WoT. His not very high movement speed also helps keep his stabilization level.

The first place in this parameter is held by two tanks at once. These are American and Soviet fifth-level self-propelled guns - M41 HMC and SU-122A. Their top guns take as much as 7 seconds to close, which is practically an eternity, given the small horizontal aiming angles.

The most accurate

Until a certain time, developers did not produce equipment with an accuracy higher than 0.3 per 100m. But there’s a first time for everything, first the beloved “Waffle E100” appeared, and then it was replaced by the Grille 15 with a gun accuracy of 0.27 at 100m. This is an unprecedented figure; second place is shared by a dozen tanks that have a gun accuracy of 0.3 per 100m.

Which tank has the greatest spread?

As you may have guessed, artillery takes first place. The biggest spread in the game is the British level ten self-propelled gun Conqueror GC. Its gun has a dispersion of 1.08 m for every hundred meters of distance traveled by the projectile.

Which tank has the maximum penetration?

It’s not difficult to guess that tank destroyers will be in the top here; they are characterized by high indicators of this parameter. Two tanks have the greatest penetration with a basic shell; they use the same gun: the British Tier 10 tank destroyers FV215b (183) and FV4005 Stage II. The armor-piercing shell of these guns penetrates 310mm of armor.

The Soviet tank destroyer of the tenth level, object 268, has the greatest gold penetration; its cumulative shells are capable of penetrating 420mm of armor.

• Sturmpanzer I Bison
• FV215b (183)
• FV4005 Stage II

Despite such a modest indicator, it is not possible to use them all up in every battle, because reloading fully corresponds to the ammunition load.

Which tank has the most ammunition?

The American light tank of the second level T7 Combat Car wins this category. It was issued for the New Year many years ago, but now there is no way to get it. Its ammunition load is 1350 rounds. He shoots them quite quickly, at the same time 50 shells are loaded into the drum, which are fired in short bursts of 5 pieces.

In the World of Tanks game, the most important thing is the tanks. Here are real-life combat vehicles presented, each of which has its own unique history. This is partly why this game is so popular in the world. Every 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 10 best World of Tanks tanks. After all, each car is good in its own way. Some tanks will be very fast, some will be powerful, and some will combine both high speed and power. And what criteria are used to determine the efficiency of the unit? However, each level has its own most successful combat vehicles, which we will try to highlight.

Let us immediately note that we will begin our review of good tanks in World of Tanks right 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 at level 5. The first of them is the Soviet KV-1 unit. This is a fairly well-known Soviet machine, which had great success on the battlefields against Nazi Germany. This tank has a solid historical component, powerful all-round armor and versatile weapons. All this gave the tank a serious reputation in the game. Almost every older generation gamer considers it their duty to buy this tank and upgrade it to the maximum.

The second best tank in World of Tanks 2017 is also the Soviet T-34. It 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 its 57 mm ZiS-4 gun, which easily penetrates armor but causes little damage. In the WOT game there are two popular development branches for medium and heavy tanks. At the fifth level, gamers have the opportunity to purchase similar combat vehicles.

There is also a cool one, but it’s quite difficult to get. In the game, users call it an “imba,” that is, a machine that is out of balance. Has all-round armor. It can barely be penetrated by a level 5 cannon. Even “sixes” often cannot damage the armor of the KV-220 tank.

Level 5 Bonus

A bonus at the fifth level is the T67 combat vehicle - this is an American anti-tank self-propelled gun with high speed of movement, 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.

The T-34-85 is a Soviet medium tank that has maneuverability and a good gun that can penetrate tough armor. High accuracy, rate of fire, and maneuverability make the unit popular. His demand is also explained by his rich combat history, but this does not play a role in his fighting qualities, which are at their best. With the right tactics, positioning, and ammo, many experienced players have won victories in this Tier 6 tank against more powerful Tier 8 tanks.

The second good tank in World of Tanks at level 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 vehicle has enormous speed 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 tank of the level 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 an M-10 152 mm cannon. This vehicle is capable of fighting even with level 10 units, not to mention combat vehicles of its own 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 at level seven is the IS or IS-2. Both cars are almost identical to each other. Therefore, we will add them to this list. The IS is one of the most popular tanks in the game and is quite famous due to its powerful gun, mobility and armored turret. If such a tank of the seventh level finds itself in a battle with equal vehicles and tanks of a lower level, then the allied team has an easy time - the IS always goes straight into battle. And often this ends well. If the IS gets into battle with tanks of a higher level, then shooting from cover is a good tactic that also brings results.

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-game its execution is simply stunning. The vehicle has 1500 hit points and is equipped with a Kw.K gun. 43 L/71. Playing on such a tank is pleasant and fun. But if a vehicle gets into battle with tanks of a higher level, then tactics need to be developed as for anti-tank artillery.

The third best vehicle is the T29 heavy tank with powerful armor that sometimes even level 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 convenient for use on the battlefield, which explains the popularity of the tank.

Premium tank level 7

At level 7, the best premium tank in World of Tanks is the so-called “Gatling gun”, or “flea” - this is the German E-25 anti-tank self-propelled gun. It's a very small car and hard to get into. It causes a lot of problems for clumsy and “blind” vehicles such as Soviet TT tanks. The E-25 does little damage. However, the rate of fire and accuracy infuriate opponents who fall under the gun of this “flea.” Unfortunately, this car 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 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 World of Tanks, the best Tier 8 tank is the IS-3. This vehicle is ideal for all of the above battle modes due to its frontal armor on 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 on which beginners will constantly lose. It is a slow and large tank with no armor that is easy to destroy. However, experienced players set records with this tank again and again. As an analogue, we can offer AMX Chasseur de chars. This car has even weaker armor. However, the camouflage factor of this tank is high, making it difficult to detect. The model also has a very high speed, which is guaranteed by the Maybach HL 295 F engine with 1200 horsepower. Among the best medium tanks in World of Tanks, the AMX Chasseur de chars deserves attention first of all. You just need to know how to play it, and such a machine cannot be recommended for combat to a beginner.

The AMX 50100 is the next best Tier 8 tank and 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 “escaping” from the scene of the crime. This is exactly how most players try to use the machine. The biggest drawback of the tank 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 for many French cars.

Level 8 Bonus

Bonus tanks of the eighth level are the British-made Charioteer tank destroyer and the Japanese medium tank STA 1. 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.

Level 9

The improved tank VK 45.02 (P) Ausf is an imba (that is, an unbalanced vehicle), which, with its new durable armor, represents one of the best tanks at later levels. The technique perfectly holds back the enemy’s onslaught 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 shell hit from the side will be fraught with bad consequences. But mobility partly solves this problem.

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

M103 is the third best heavy tank of tier 9. This American example has high armor at the 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 its 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 deteriorated this vehicle several times, reducing the thickness of the hull armor. However, this tank is still very popular and a worthy contender for the title of best. High speed, low silhouette and mobility - these are the advantages of the car.

Level 10

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 imbats such as ART-SAU, PT 10 and Waffenträger auf which must be replaced.

In general, it is almost impossible to single out the best World of Tanks tier 10 tank. After all, we are always talking 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. Consequently, 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 identify the best car, which would be superior to others in all (or at least half) of the parameters. Therefore, among the “dozens” it is impossible to single out just one tank.

Conclusion

Each player determines the best combat vehicle for himself to the best of his abilities and playing style. Some people like to butt heads with heavy tanks, while others prefer to quickly move around the map in order to find targets for their team. The developers very carefully worked out the characteristics of all combat vehicles in the game and eliminated situations where most players choose the same unit, forgetting about the others.

Real historical facts, skillfully intertwined with fiction, often become the basis for the plot of exciting books, films, and, of course, game projects. Thus, in the world of the gaming industry, one of the most popular multiplayer online games today can confidently be called World of Tanks. The gaming project, which attracts more than one million people to their PC monitors every day, is dedicated to tank battles of the historical period of World War II.

Having joined the army of virtual tankers, every gamer strives to shoot as many frags as possible, inflict the maximum amount of damage on enemy vehicles, earn credits and commemorative medals. WoT presents more than 300 tanks of various classes and nations, so many players are interested in the question - what is the coolest tank in the world of tanks? It is difficult to answer unequivocally. But still, let’s try to rank the best combat vehicles, taking into account the opinions of experienced players.

The best fighting vehicles VoT

In WoT, tanks from various nations are presented for upgrade: USSR, Japan, Germany, USA, Britain, China, Czech Republic. In each development branch, armored vehicles are classified into:
lungs (LT);
average (ST);
heavy (TT);
anti-tank self-propelled guns (tank destroyers);
ART-SAU (artillery).

Each individual vehicle in the World of Tanks, in addition to its unique history, received its own advantages, disadvantages, and performance characteristics. Depending on the class, armored vehicles have their own purpose on the battlefield. TTs provide defense, breakthrough of flanks, light tanks are the eyes of the team, STs are support vehicles, tank destroyers and artillery destroyers are the firepower of the allied team.

All armored vehicles presented in WoT are divided into 10 levels. Moreover, each level has its own “heroes” and favorites. Depending on personal preferences and playing style, gamers choose the most comfortable class of gaming equipment for a particular nation. Some prefer to go into battle on fast, maneuverable tanks, while others prefer well-armored tanks. Another category of virtual tankers enjoys playing artillery, anti-tank self-propelled guns, and working to spot the players of the allied team.

Conventionally, the combat vehicles of the World of Tanks can also be classified into tanks:

• for farming (earning) silver and experience;
• for battles in team battles, fortified areas, companies, and playing on the Global Map;
• to increase personal rating (efficiency).

Despite the fact that there are constant changes in balance in WoT, at each level there is a category of really worthy combat vehicles that have a greater influence on the outcome and effectiveness of the battle. As for fancy armored vehicles, we’ll start the review with low-level equipment, with equipment for bending in the “sandbox”.

The best armored vehicles of tier 3

Since the first two levels differ little in their characteristics and most often players complete them for free experience, we will begin our review with tanks located on the third level. At this level, more interesting armored vehicles are presented, which not only allow you to gain experience for playing high-level vehicles, but are also ideal for “bending down” and comfortable play. As a rule, Tier 3 combat vehicles are represented by light and medium tanks. The exception is the Japanese TT development branch, which is opened by Type 91.

At the third level, the tank of Soviet tank construction definitely deserves attention - BT-7, which, thanks to its excellent visibility, good maneuverability and speed, can simultaneously serve as a “reconnaissance” and a support tank. The Soviet light tank T-46, which received a fairly accurate weapon, good speed and dynamics, can also be classified as imbecile vehicles.

A popular tank of the third level can be called the premium LT tank T-127, which has fairly good armor, excellent dynamics and speed. Suitable for reconnaissance, detection, support, and breakthrough on the flanks.

The best Tier 3 armored vehicle can also be called the German Pz.Kpfw. I Ausf. C, which boasts good (for low levels) armor, an accurate gun, good dynamics, good maneuverability, and maneuverability.

Fourth level

At this level you can see a lot of different machines that are interesting in terms of gameplay, by playing which you can gain experience and prepare for battles with high-level vehicles. Level 4 armored vehicles are also considered “passable”, they can be completed using free experience or experience gained in battles.

The best Tier 4 tank, according to players, is the German Hetzer tank tank and the American T-40. The armored vehicles received accurate guns with good armor penetration, decent maneuverability, and a large viewing radius. Suitable for effective, comfortable play, farming silver, gaining experience and statistics.

In the ranking of the best Tier 4 vehicles, we can note the French heavy tank B2, the Soviet Valentine II, and Matilda. The tanks are well balanced and feel quite confident in battles against high-level combat vehicles. Weaknesses include low speed and lack of dynamics.

Beginners who plan to upgrade the Soviet development branch can choose the T-28 medium tank, Su-85-B tank destroyer for the game. Armored vehicles are quite mobile, maneuverable, and have good weapons. The downside is the almost complete absence of armor, which implies a careful, thoughtful game in battles against stronger and more experienced opponents.

Fifth level

At the fifth level, Soviet tank-building vehicles deserve special attention - the legendary heavy tank KV-1, which can confidently be called the best tank of World War II, the main combat unit of the team on the virtual battlefields, as well as the T-34 medium tank. The KV-1 received impressive armor parameters and excellent weapons. In addition to being comfortable. confident play, KV-1 is ideal for raising your personal rating, earning credits and experience.

Another vehicle that many players consider to be a real level seven "imba" is the premium E-25 anti-tank vehicle. The weak level of armor is fully compensated by an accurate, rapid-fire gun, excellent dynamics, speed, and impressive viewing radius parameters. The low silhouette makes the car almost invisible. Having upgraded the “camouflage” of the crew, installing the “Camouflage Net”, the “Stereo Tube” can be successfully exposed, repeatedly causing damage from well-chosen shelters to the enemy team’s tanks, while remaining invisible to the enemy.

Eighth level

Military equipment of the eighth level, as well as armored vehicles presented at the sixth level, take part in team battles, battles on the Global Map, and in Champion companies. The undisputed leader among all Tier 8 armored vehicles is the heavy tank of the Soviet tank industry IS-3, which, thanks to its excellent performance characteristics, can confidently be called universal. Good armor, a ricochet silhouette (“pike nose”), a comfortable gun with good penetration, comfortable angle-of-range guns, and mobility completely compensate for the minor shortcomings of this vehicle (weak field of view, long aiming). The IS-3 is in demand in company games, fortified areas, team battles, and in main gun battles.

Among the medium tanks, one can note the Soviet ST-Shku T-44. Among the tank destroyers, the most popular among players is the ISU-152 (USSR), the German tank destroyer from Rheinmetall-Borsig Waffenträger. The Soviet tank destroyer is known for its powerful gun (BL-10), the German tank destroyer is known for its accurate gun and low silhouette.

Thanks to its excellent armor and powerful weapons, the Japanese heavy O-HO is popular among players. Despite its sluggishness, lack of dynamics, and specific gameplay, this armored vehicle at its level can be called a real “mastodon.”

Ninth level

The best armored vehicles of the 9th level include the medium Soviet tank T-54, the main advantages of which include a low silhouette, good maneuverability, dynamics, maneuverability, speed, and a fairly good accurate gun. A group of several T-54s poses a particular danger to the enemy team, but playing with cumulative shells allows you to feel confident in confrontations with level 10 vehicles. The overall win rate across servers for this tank is 49.8%. which is a pretty good indicator.

You cannot ignore the heavy tank of German tank production E-75. The armored vehicle received an accurate cannon with good alpha, strong ricochet armor, and good maneuverability. The American heavyweight M103 also has decent characteristics. Like all US equipment, the M103 is famous for its strong ricochet turret, good frontal armor, and powerful weapons. Ideal for breaking through and defending flanks.

Tenth level of armored vehicles

At level ten it is quite difficult to determine the best armored vehicle, since each tank, regardless of class, has its own unique features, features and advantages. Among the dozens there are vehicles with a drum loading mechanism, well-armored vehicles, slow steel monsters such as the E-100 and Mouse, fast ST-shki, ART-SAUs, which, when accurately hit with one shot, send the enemy to the hangar. Therefore, each player has the opportunity to choose the most based on personal preferences and playing style.

To get to the top of the line equipment, you will not only have to spend a lot of time, but also save up a fairly substantial amount of silver to purchase. In addition, playing at high levels requires experience, concentration, correct tactics and strategy.

According to experienced players, the best, most impressive tanks of level 10 include: T-62, Object-140, E-100, IS-7, T110E5, FV215b 183, T57 Heavy Tank, Bat Chatillon 155, JagdPz E-100, AMX 50 B. Among the artillery self-propelled guns, we can highlight the American T-92, the British artillery gun Conqueror Gun Carriage, the penetration of which is 2200 units, and the Soviet Object-261.

Bottom line

After reading our review, perhaps not all tankers will agree with the presented rating of the “best armored vehicles.” Each class of armored vehicles in World of Tanks has its own unique technical parameters, specialization, and functions, so it is quite difficult to determine the best tank in the game. To find tanks for an effective, comfortable game, you need to conduct at least several battles in a random room or on a test server using one or another vehicle.

In addition, developers periodically delight gamers with new nations and combat vehicles. Thus, heavy tanks from Japan and armored vehicles from the Czech Republic were recently introduced into the game, among which there are vehicles with excellent performance characteristics.
