The main thing in the game is, obviously, the tanks. Historical, which existed and fought on different continents of the world, reliable paper models and bits of projects that have already been completed and thought out by the developers, each individual vehicle in the World of Tanks has its own, special and unique history. And, as they say, for every product there is a merchant, so in our game for every tank there is someone who can call it his favorite!
Well, I think it’s clear here that each player decides for himself which one is the best for him in the game, but we will try to tell you which ones are the most attractive, which are very pleasant to play, and easier/more accessible to play.
As you know, in our game there are X levels of equipment and at each level there are/are different heroes. In parallel with how bending tanks will be covered, we will also talk about the vehicles that are most popular on the World of Tanks servers. At each level we will highlight 3 cars (there will be exceptions) that stand out the most + a bonus that seems the most fun, as the players call it.
Although there are 10 levels in the game, we will start the review with tanks of the 5th level, since up to this level there are still frivolous vehicles, a sandbox, as most players like to call levels up to the 5th.
Level 5
At level V, there are several contenders for the title of best tank, and they are all Soviet.
Firstly, let's note the most popular for the game, not counting the first levels - this is the Soviet power of the KV-1. All-round armor, versatile guns, and of course, the historical component, gave this tank such a reputation! Every player, especially the older generation, considers it their duty to pump out this car.
Secondly, this is the T-34 - with no less rich history, compared to the KV-1, one of the best tanks of the war, which changed its course. What makes it so popular? Its hole-piercing guns are 57 mm ZiS-4, with high penetration but low damage. The two most popular branches in the game are the Soviet ST and TT, and through them, two great tanks are located at 5 levels: the T-34 and the KV-1.
And the third, only for the elite KV-220. It has excellent all-round armor, which is extremely difficult for level 5 guns to take, and even some sixes feel the problem of penetrating this vehicle, plus its preferential battle level! All this makes this tank a real gem, but it is very difficult to obtain.
The bonus on the 5s is the T67 - an American tank destroyer that does not feel like a tank destroyer. Excellent speed, stealth, high penetration and low silhouette allow you to bend over your classmates, and in battles at the bottom of the list, with the help of gold, not to feel suffering!
Level 6
At level VI, the three tanks have all three STs - one Soviet and two British.
Let's start with a legend that everyone, young and old, knows; almost every city has a monument to this significant T-34-85 tank.
The average USSR is a universal fighter on the battlefield; its excellent weapon with good AP penetration and comfortable gold for combat against 8-kilometers, accuracy and mobility make this tank popular. Of course, we should not forget that this tank is being pumped up because of its huge combat history, and the fact that it comes next after the T-34, but this does not make it any less excellent.
The second is the British Cromwell, a technique for real extras. Unlike the 34-85, the Cromwell does not have armor, but at the same time its maximum speed and cannon, coupled with stealth, allow it to achieve excellent results that will surprise even the driver himself.
And the third, new to World of Tanks - Sherman Firefly. One of the most successful models of British tank building, with the legendary OQF 17-pdr Gun Mk. VII, in which you can fight without gold even at the bottom of the list, even against 8 levels.
The bonus on 6s is the legend of the broads - KV-2. It is both for bending and for fun. His duda 152 mm M-10 with an alpha high explosive of 900 points allows him to fight even with X levels (!!!), where one shot at a Waffenträger auf E 100, or other cardboard machines, can deprive half of the HP.
Level 7
Level 7, according to players, is the most balanced, so choosing the top three here is very difficult.
The first, or rather the first ones, are IS/IS-2/IS-2. It is impossible to single out one of these machines, because they are almost identical, so we will add all three units to this list. The IS is the most famous tank, one of the 10 most popular tanks in World of Tanks. Its advantages are the D-25T with alpha from 390, mobility, turret armor. In the TOP, these vehicles do battle, distributing “Soviet henchmen”, and at the bottom of the list we play PT, imagining that you are an SU-122-44, which is also fighting with 9 levels with the same weapon.
The second unit is the German Tiger I. The German TT, which fought in World War II and has a rich history, is implemented superbly in the game. 1500 hit points, 8.8 cm Kw.K gun. 43 L/71 with 203mm breakdown, 240 alpha and with a DPM of 2000 points per minute, which is comfortable, pleasant and interesting to play. At the top of the list, the Tiger is a thunderstorm of enemies, punching through everyone, dismantling anyone with DPM, and at the bottom of the list we play PT, alternating BB with gold.
The third vehicle is the American heavy T29. If the 29 is from the mound, then even the 9th level will not be able to break through it the first time. The tank has strengths, but also has pain points. Its balance and application on the battlefield make it a great machine that you'll want to play again and again.
The bonus is the unit hated by everyone - a flea, a bug, a mosquito, a Gatling gun - this is a German tank destroyer E-25. An inconspicuous cart that causes a lot of problems for opponents, especially blind ones like Soviet TTs. Mosquito bites of 150 points in 3 seconds kill anyone who falls in the sights of this machine. Well, if you end up in an E-shek platoon, if you are in a field without cover and they are targeting you, expect trouble. The enormous popularity of the vehicle contributed to its withdrawal from sale, but there were no fewer of them in battles.
Tier 7 is so diverse that I would like to mention at least five more vehicles - these are the T-34-1, T71, M41 Walker Bulldog, LTTB and Spähpanzer SP I C. We won’t talk about them, we’ll just note that they are also worthy be on this list.
Level 8
We're getting to the top. Level VIII is no longer a sandbox. At these levels there is a global map, fortified areas and company battles.
The first tank at level 8 will be the IS-3. A vehicle that is suitable for all of the above battles, and also fills the random pool. Frontal armor of the hull and turret, the presence of bulwarks, a good gun, mobility and a low silhouette are the key to the success of the vehicle.
The second one is FCM 50t. The vehicle is not for everyone, as the huge hull and lack of armor make playing on the tank very difficult for beginners, but experienced players show excellent results on the tank, setting damage records over and over again. Tanks with a preferential combat level and an excellent 212 penetration gun, so suffering on this vehicle is excluded. An analogue of this car can be offered by another Frenchman - AMX Chasseur de chars. An even less armored vehicle, which bursts from land mines and does not have a preferential level, but has a high camouflage coefficient and the highest maximum speed at level VII among STs due to the Maybach HL 295 F engine of 1200 horsepower.
The third is another Frenchman, also a frequent guest in fortifications, companies and on the main battery - AMX 50100. A machine that can pick up any classmate in one drum and quickly escape from the scene of a crime - that’s its feature. The high penetration and alpha of 300 for each bullet is what sets the drum against all its enemies. But the most difficult thing is to change the CD of the drum at 50 seconds, when it becomes defenseless meat for the enemy. Another weak point is the lack of armor, but this is typical for all vehicles from the French branch.
Bonus for VIII, we note two vehicles - the British tank destroyer Charioteer and the Japanese medium STA 1. Both tanks are secretive samurai who conduct their battle from the shadows, supporting their butting allies. High CTA penetration and the excellent Chariothir 105 mm AT Gun L7 with 268 mm are the swords of these tanks, with which they pierce their opponents, even playing at the bottom of the list.
Another contender is the IS-6. Tanks that have become one of the most popular premium tanks in the game, having the same D-25T tank, armor and preferential combat level.
Level 9
A level 9 imba is considered to be an upgraded VK 45.02 (P) Ausf. B, or alpha sneaker, which was brought back to life the last couple of patches ago, increasing the thickness of the armor. Now VK 45.02 (P) Ausf. B tanks even X-tier tank destroyers, sometimes even their gold shells. To push the direction, or to restrain it, to be the first at the forefront of the attack - this is the real calling for this tank! Of course, it still has weak sides and enemy artillery, but these are small disadvantages compared to its advantage. Plus, the sneaker is also mobile, considering its weight.
The second copy is the German medium E 50. Another universal fighter who can tank at the right time and go to another part of the map. Having on board a cannon with German precision and high penetration, playing the epis, as it is called, becomes a pleasure. The E 50 can travel with allied STs, or be a second-line tank, moving with allied TTs. Who to be in battle is a choice only for the player, but with huge potential, like on the E 50, you definitely won’t have to suffer.
The third machine is M103. All American TTs are famous for their turret heads, and the 103 is no exception. Tanking even TOP guns with huge penetrations? It's very easy! An American can hold back even against multiple allies, or play cat and mouse with other opponents if the map allows. It is perfectly balanced, so you won't have to suffer on the M103.
The bonus on IX is the Soviet ST T-54. No matter how its turret was nerfed, no matter how its hull armor was changed, the 54 remains an excellent CT, one of the most popular at its level. Speed, mobility, low silhouette and the fact that the tank can forgive due to the armor provided - all this makes the vehicle so popular.
Level 10
The Xth level is the crown of each branch, the result of each nation. Each tank at this level has its own features, its own directions. Each has good characteristics. Of course, there are guns like the Waffenträger auf E 100, which will soon be replaced, or an ART-SAU, which does not allow you to relax normally in battle, as well as the presence of PT 10 with huge broads.
10s are the level of extremes. There are also drum TTs, there are also slow cast-iron walls such as Maus and E-100, and there are also versatile STs. Therefore, each player must choose for himself which tanks are interesting to him and to single out one of the others would not be correct, at least.
So, dear friends. This was only the opinion of one person, and not the crowd, because, as mentioned earlier, it depends on taste and color. But, undoubtedly, those provided in this list can bend, can become the best, but only in the hands of the right player.
And that is all! Go to World of Tanks and choose your own, the best in the game, and prove that it is truly the best! Good luck on the battlefields of the World of Tanks!
As in any multiplayer game, World of Tanks has a rating system, distributed among the top players. Thanks to this, you can see who the best player in World of Tanks is. In the game this is referred to as the "Hall of Fame".
In order to get into it, you need to play several dozen fights over the course of one to four weeks. This rating is then formed in several periods: All time - this is the period when you need to complete 1000 fights from the moment you created your account. In a month - you need to conduct no more than 100 fights, in a week - at least 20 fights, in one day no more than five fights per day.
You should pay attention to the personal rating, as the most detailed information is taken into account there
Win percentage, damage you dealt, average damage per battle and experience, and survival percentage. Personal rating statistics are updated after each battle. The rating is divided into 14 categories; to see where you or other players rank, just click on the category. The list of categories also depends on the formation of the rating. That is, if you have played a fairly small number of battles, few categories will be displayed.
There is also such a thing as a dynamics index, with the help of which you can determine the growth of your positions in the game; if it is green, then this is a positive result, if it is red, then it is a bad result.
The dynamics index is calculated using a formula and then rounded to the nearest hundred or thousand
If the index exceeds 10,000, it is rounded to the nearest hundred, and instead of zeros the letter “K” appears, which means a thousand. If rounding goes to hundreds of thousands, and this is already millions of positions, it is replaced by the letter “M”, for example, “1M” positions means 1 million positions.
If you don’t want to participate in the ranking, but just want to see who the best player in World of Tanks is. To do this, you need to enter the player's name in the search bar in the hall of fame. The first thing you should pay attention to is the player’s position, whether the marker is red or green. If this player is not included in the ranking, he will be displayed in a separate list.
You can also see the rating of your friends from a team or clan. To do this, you just need to enter the name of the clan (team) in the search. Moreover, such ratings are distributed across tabs. All ratings data is recorded in history, which can be viewed over a week, several weeks, or even a month. You just need to select the date you need and the current rating will be presented to you.
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, which 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 Tier 5 heavy on the seventh line of the ranking of the best WoT tanks because of his ability to literally execute his classmates, most of whom are simply unable to penetrate him. If we talk about vehicles of lower levels, he clicks them like seeds, moreover, he is able to defeat even tanks of levels 6-7, 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 weapon.
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?
