Who are the best tanks? The coolest tank in World of Tanks

There are a huge variety of heavy tanks: from slow, heavily armored mastodons that can tank enemy shells for a long time, to fast drummers that deal high concentrated damage in a short period of time. But they are all united by a large margin of safety and an impressive caliber of guns.

When playing heavy tanks, don't think that you are invulnerable. Like any fighting vehicle, heavy tanks have their weaknesses. Going to the center of the map with the confidence that your armor, no matter how thick it is, will withstand any projectile is stupid. Soberly assess your strengths and the capabilities of your tank.

We have studied absolutely all the heavy tanks currently presented (beginning of May 2016) in World of Tanks and are now ready to tell you which of them are the best.

Level V - KV-1 (USSR)

"Klim Voroshilov" on the 5th level. If you are a beginner, a fan of “sand bending”, or just want to “farm” (yes, despite the low level, the KV-1 is capable of generating income without any problems), then this tank is for you. 75 mm all-round armor allows you to “tank” classmates’ shells, and a decent F-30 gun can inflict stable damage of 160 units every 4 seconds. It is also possible to install a U-11 howitzer. With this weapon and a full load of cumulative ammunition (one-time damage of which is 370 and penetration is 160 mm), the KV-1 turns into an annihilator, capable of ruining the lives of even the 6th and 7th levels. But in this case you will have to forget about “farming” silver.

Advantages:

• excellent booking among classmates,
• good selection of weapons,
• easy to learn.

Flaws:

• insufficient dynamics,
• ineffective in stock configuration.

Level VI - KV-2 (USSR)

S - “stability”. One word can fully describe the KV-2. In fact, we have a hull from the KV-1, a level 5 tank, with a “birdhouse” instead of the turret we are used to. But this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the M-10 howitzer. 152 mm at level 6! With this caliber there is not much need to think about the choice of ammunition. Landmines are our everything. The damage of each projectile is 910 units upon penetration (hello “Borschts”!). But even if we don’t penetrate the enemy vehicle, we will inflict damage on it in the region of 390 units, which is a serious argument even at levels 7-8. True, we pay for this with a reload of 24 seconds, which, to put it mildly, is long.

Advantages:

• large one-time damage,
• a good alternative 107 mm gun,
• stable “damage” when playing on M-10,
• Teaches calm and reasonable play.

Flaws:

• dynamics are even worse than those of the KV-1;
• very long recharge;
• insufficient armor at level 6.

Level VII - T29 (USA)

One of the most popular tanks at level 7 is the American Herald of Democracy T29. “Cheburashka”, as the players dubbed it, having a practically impenetrable turret (279 mm in the frontal projection), received a rather loose body with 102 mm armor in the forehead without any special slopes. And at level 7 such reservations are no longer enough. It immediately becomes clear that you need to try to hide the hull, showing off your strong turret, which, by the way, houses an incredibly powerful weapon. With 189mm penetration and 320 damage, you won't feel underpowered when playing on T29.

Advantages:

• beautiful tower armor,
• high armor penetration,
• good accuracy and convergence,
• wide gun elevation angles.

Flaws:

• large dimensions and high silhouette of the car,
• low mobility.

Level VIII - IS-3 (USSR)

The tank that marched at the victory parade in Berlin, frightening the “allies” countries - IS-3. He has it all: dynamics that allow him to be at the forefront of the battle; the top BL-9 cannon with the usual damage for Soviet heavy weapons of 390 units and with increased armor penetration to 225 mm, which can slap even vehicles at a higher level; There is armor both in the turret (249 mm from the front) and in the hull with the famous “pike nose” and “cheeto screens”. The only thing that can upset us is the frequent “crits” and explosions of the ammunition rack, since it is located in the forehead of the IS-3.

Advantages:

• the strongest weapon BL-9,
• maneuverability,
• low silhouette of a tank,
• shielded sides,
• "pike nose"

Flaws:

• narrow horizontal aiming angles,
• frequently criticized ammunition rack,
• small review at level 8.

Level IX - E 75 (Germany)

At level 7, an improved version of the "Royal Tiger" E75. As is typical for many German heavy tanks, the E 75 is quite well armored and has a powerful gun. But, in addition to this, it is more dynamic than its predecessors. This Teutonic knight, with a decent mass of 88 tons and good speed for a heavy tank, is capable of successfully ramming most of its enemies. "Eshka" is one of the most versatile heavy tanks.

Advantages:

• decent dynamics for a heavy tank,
• strong armor,
• powerful and penetrating weapon,
• one of the best tanks for ramming.

Flaws:

• quite a big silhouette
• not the smallest commander's cupola (bad for point-blank combat).

Level X - IS-7 (USSR)

And at level 10 the Soviet IS-7. No matter how many years have passed, no matter how many tanks with “uber laser guns” have been introduced, the IS-7 has always stood apart and has not lost its relevance. It has practically no weak points in its armor: the monolithic turret has 240 mm in the forehead, the “pike nose” consists of 150 mm plates at a good angle... Only the LLD (lower frontal part) is a weakness, but if you hide it behind a small stone you can contain even the most powerful projectiles. The 130 mm gun, although it has very mediocre aim and dispersion, can inflict quite good damage of 490 units. But the IS-7 pays for such armor and guns with mobility. Having a maximum speed of 59 km/h, the tank can reach it only from a hill. But despite this, the IS-7 remains loved by many players.

Advantages:

• almost ultimate booking,
• high one-time damage,
• sides with screens,
• does not require special skills to master.

Flaws:

• rather weak dynamics,
• not the best penetration of armor-piercing shells.

Surely, any “tanker”’s heart skips a beat when the barrel of such an enemy’s gun is turned in his direction. And more than once a chill ran down my spine at the sound of a shot from it. After all, each such salvo could be the last.

In previous articles, we compiled ratings and... This time will be presented rating of armor-piercing tanks in World of Tanks, as well as self-propelled guns from levels 1 to 10. Using the most powerful weapons for each model. The criterion for selection will be only the maximum damage from a shot (Alpha). All other characteristics will not be taken into account.

1st level.

Vickers Medium Mk I
This colossus stands out among its fellows due to its huge dimensions and amazing slowness. Despite this, he is almost devoid of adequate armor. It can be punched almost anywhere, especially since it is very difficult to miss.
The best weapon is the QF 6-pdr 8cwt Mk. II.
Shells - two types of armor-piercing and high-explosive fragmentation.
Maximum damage – 71-119 units.
Now and in the future, damage from high-explosive shells is indicated. Let this tank have only 29 mm penetration. Although at this level the MS-1 has the thickest armor – 18 mm.

2nd level.

T18
The safety margin of this tank destroyer is of course very small, but it has the best frontal armor. In addition, the machine is quite nimble.
The best weapon is the 75 mm Howitzer M1A1.
Projectiles - high-explosive and cumulative.
Maximum damage – 131-219 units.
This damage is enough to destroy a tank one level older, unless you shoot it head-on. HEAT shells have better penetration.

Sturmpanzer I Bison
Even though this self-propelled gun does not have a frightening appearance, it has a stern disposition.
The best weapon is also the only one.
Projectiles - regular and cumulative.
Maximum damage – 225-375 units.
The penetration of its cumulative projectile is 171-285 mm. With this indicator, even a level 5 tank will suffer, but they are really very expensive.

3rd level.

Cruiser MK II
The tank cannot boast of practically anything. The protection is weak, even on the frontal part, maneuverability and mobility are also zero, the gun takes a long time to bring down and does not hit accurately. It also has a very long projectile flight time. But it does the most damage.
The best gun is the 3.7-inch Howitzer.
Maximum damage – 278-463 units.
Cumulative ones penetrate armor better, but they destroy less and he needs to buy them for gold.

Lorraine 39 Lam
The self-propelled gun takes a long time to reload the gun and takes a long time to close down, but the player’s patience will be rewarded. In addition, its shells are already flying overhead. The enemy will no longer be able to sit quietly behind cover.
The best weapon is level 5.
The projectiles are cumulative and high-explosive fragmentation.
The M37 and Wespe have the same damage.

4th level.

Hetzer
The tank destroyer moves quite quickly, although it has good armor. Successful angles of inclination cause projectiles to ricochet.
The best gun is the 10.5 cm StuH 42 L/28.
Maximum damage – 308-513 units.
Somua SAu-40 and T40 have the same damage.

Grille
It is not for nothing that German artillery enjoys well-deserved popularity. It has the longest shot range at its level. Although of course the impression is spoiled by the horizontal aiming angles. Do not move the mouse at this moment and do not rush to shoot.
The best weapon is the standard one.
The projectiles are high-explosive and cumulative.
Maximum damage – 510-850 units.
For some reason, this self-propelled gun has the same damage from different shells, but the purpose of the shells is different.

Level 5.

KV-1
It rightfully takes first place at its level. The remarkable turret armor has made the tank a favorite of many gamers.
The best gun is the 122 mm U-11.
Shells – Only high-explosive and cumulative shells are suitable for this weapon.
Maximum damage – 338-563 units.
When hit by this cannon, light tanks will shatter into pieces the first time.
The SU-85 has the same damage.

M41
Arta boasts excellent horizontal aiming angles and a high maximum speed (56 km/h). True, it takes her a long time to type it. Very good reload time.
The best weapon is the 155 mm Gun M1918M1.
Shells – two types of high-explosive fragmentation shells (gold ones have better penetration and a greater dispersion of fragments).
The Hummel and AMX 13 F3 AM have the same damage.

Level 6.

KV-2
The tank became slightly larger than its younger brother, and the accuracy of the gun began to limp. It is recommended to fight in urban environments, as there will be an opportunity to hide the tank after firing for reloading.
The best gun is the 152 mm M-10.
Shells - high-explosive, armor-piercing and cumulative.

S-51
This self-propelled gun is jokingly called “Pinocchio”. Unlike its counterpart SU-14, which has the same damage, the S-51 has greater mobility. Therefore, she can quickly change position in battle.
The best gun is the 203 mm B-4.
The shells are high explosive.
Maximum damage – 1388-2313 units.

Level 7.

SU-152
As in the case of the KV-2, when choosing high-explosive shells, the gun sags in accuracy. For this reason, the tank will have to go to meet the enemy. And it’s best to come from the stern - that’s when the damage will happen!
The best gun is the 152 mm ML-20.
Shells - armor-piercing, cumulative and high-explosive fragmentation.
Maximum damage – 683-1138 units.

GW Tiger
Since this self-propelled gun has a long gun reload time and almost no mobility, it would be wise not to be distracted by small equipment. You need to hunt first of all for “fat” very heavy tanks. And if one shell doesn’t penetrate, another one will arrive.
The best weapon is the standard one.
The shells are high-explosive and armor-piercing.
Maximum damage – 1500-2500 units.

Level 8.

ISU-152
This Soviet tank destroyer may no longer use shells purchased for gold. Ordinary ammunition will penetrate any enemy without them. The tolerable accuracy of the gun will allow the tank not to get close and support the brothers with fire from a longer distance.
The shells are high-explosive and armor-piercing.
Maximum damage – 713-1188 units.

T92
Self-propelled guns are disliked for several reasons. Let's start with the fact that by the time it recharges, the battle will end. In addition, its elevation angles do not have negative values. It must be said that the damage and radius of scattering of fragments is, of course, the largest, but fragments can catch allies (11 meters).
The best weapon is the standard one.
Shells - regular and premium high-explosive fragmentation.
Maximum damage – 1688-2813 units.

Level 9.

T30
It has a very solid turret, but the hull armor is a bit let down, so it’s not really worth the risk. Although you can go closer to the battle site. By the way, the turret turns perfectly, although the gun takes a long time to reload. It’s more enjoyable to play when you have armor-piercing shells in your arsenal.
The best gun is the 152 mm BL-10.
Shells - armor-piercing, sub-caliber and high-explosive.
Maximum damage – 713-1188 units.

Level 10.

FV215b(183)
This English monster is a tank destroyer. When using special land mines, armor penetration increases to 206-344 mm of armor. But it has poor accuracy and reloads very slowly. In appearance, the car is similar to a “slipper” - the turret is located at the rear. It is recommended not to ride alone, but to take someone with you as a distraction. The armor on the sides of the tank destroyer is only 50 mm.
The best weapon is the standard one.
Shells - regular and premium.
The maximum damage from a HESH landmine is 1313-2188 units.

Now, top 10 most armor-piercing tanks in World of Tanks, compiled, but based on changes in the balance from patch to patch, some tanks may lose their positions or more worthy competitors will appear.

Hi everybody! In this article we will tell all World of Tanks fans and players about the best heavy tanks in the game. In general, it has a very large number of heavy tanks, which are famous for their particular characteristics. However, we must not forget that each tank must be selected for a specific player. Some people like to tank with good armor, some like a powerful gun with high damage per shot, some like a DPN tank, and some are only interested in heavy tanks with a high rate of fire. Today we will try to talk about the best heavy tanks at our level, assessing the situation in the game and the preferences of all players.

Let's start with the fifth level, which is basic, because it is here that you can really see how the character of heavy tanks, their level of armor and power manifests itself. The most prestigious and favorite heavy tank at the fifth level among all players is the KV-1, and it can rightfully be considered the best of its kind, both at its level and in its category. Yes, of course, Japanese tanks have been gaining popularity lately, but this is solely due to their novelty, which also happened after the introduction of other new tanks into the game.

The sixth level of World Of Tanks tanks

As for the sixth level, here it is necessary to note two tanks, which are undoubtedly the best at their level. These include the Japanese O-i and the Soviet KV-85 tank. They are not only the best at their level in terms of armor, but also in terms of their gun, which differs from others not only in its greater penetration, but also in damage per shot.

The best heavy tank of the seventh level has long been considered to be such tanks as Tiger I and AMX M4 45. As for the first of them, after it was upgraded, it became simply a god at its level. In addition to 1500 units of durability, which makes him a tank at his level, with the highest amount of hit points, he also has a cannon that can easily penetrate tanks of the eighth level, which is not only nice, but also very convenient when playing with the highest levels. He also has armor that can not only be used to tank while playing with tanks of your own levels, but also with lighter tanks. As for the second tank, it also has a very good gun with high penetration and good DPM. True, his armor is not as good as that of a tiger, but in skillful hands he can easily tank with armor and not have to worry about anything.

The eighth level of World Of Tanks tanks

Now let’s move on to the eighth level, where the most exciting thing awaits players, because after the sixth level the eighth level is considered the reference level, since this is the level at which you can not only play comfortably, but also not go into the red, which is something that people don’t like so much lately players. Everyone has long considered tanks such as the IS-3 and Tiger II to be the best heavy tanks of the eighth level. These tanks have good armor at their level and just a wonderful gun, which can punish all enemies with ease. The main thing here is to save strength points and live as long as possible, then these tanks do the most damage and are more effective than others.

Let's move on to the nines, which gamers really like for the simple reason that there is very little left until the 10th top level and everyone is in a hurry to pump out their long-awaited tank as soon as possible. So, at level 9 the best heavy tanks are rightfully considered to be tanks such as the E-75, VK4502B and ST-1. These tanks have the best armor at their level, which sometimes terrifies even level ten tanks when they try to penetrate you. In addition to excellent armor, there are also good guns that cannot be complained about, which is why they are the best tanks of their type at level nine.

Tenth level of World Of Tanks tanks

Well, finally we have come to the sweetest, tenth level. There are a very large number of heavy tanks that are truly worthy of attention, so it is quite difficult to make a choice. However, the opinions of players differ in such a way that tanks such as the IS-7 are considered to be the best tanks of the tenth level. E100 and T57 Heavy. Despite the fact that they are very different from each other, players have loved them very much throughout the history of the game and have not changed their choice even now, when so many other tanks have appeared. The main thing for these tanks, as for others in their category, is excellent armor. The latter, however, is an order of magnitude weaker, but this is perfectly compensated by the drum cannon, which has its advantages during the game.

The best tanks in World of Tanks: classification of tanks in WOT + 6 ways to get a tank in the game + TOP 3 large-caliber/armored/high-accuracy tanks in the game + TOP 3 best tanks in World of Tanks for farming and e-sports.

Tanks in World of Tanks are the main tool for conducting battles. The developers tried to recreate the vehicle with maximum accuracy, taking into account most of the engineering features and physics of the behavior of armored vehicles.

The project even includes tanks that could not be realized earlier, but were recreated in the game according to the drawings of those times.

Today we will analyze the best tanks in World of Tanks and highlight the top three in various categories.

Classification of tanks and methods of obtaining them in World of Tanks

The primary classification is divided into only two branches - tanks for direct combat And auxiliary armored vehicles, which is used as a complementary element in improving combat tactics in WOT.

Classification of vehicles in World of Tanks by type:

Light tanks.

Created for tactical ploys, as their main advantage is speed. The armor and firepower of such armored vehicles are below average, with the exception of some premium vehicles.

Due to their maneuverability, tankers in light vehicles can easily spot the enemy’s best tanks and provide information to their comrades so that they can carry out targeted artillery raids precisely on the target.

Medium tanks.

Most of them have miniature sizes and a high level of maneuverability to attack heavy equipment from the rear and sides. The level of armor is better than that of light ones, but with precise hits from powerful weapons they fall almost instantly.
They are used at key moments in battles to capture an enemy base, or to neutralize the danger from artillery or anti-tank missiles.

Heavy tanks.

The forefront of the team's offensive actions, who act as shields for medium and light vehicles in the game. Powerful guns can penetrate almost any armor - for a light tank, one accurate hit is enough to disable even top-end equipment.

The loss of heavy tanks is most noticeable for the team, as the level of protection is significantly reduced.

Vehicles with high stealth characteristics that can conduct targeted fire from key tactical points and at the same time hide from the enemy’s gaze.

PTs have different sets of characteristics; it is impossible to clearly identify a predominant feature. Some have better armor, while others have more penetrating power. It all depends on the country of origin of the equipment and its design.

The main combat power of the team. It has an insignificant level of defense, but its attacking ability is head and shoulders above the rest. Always located in the rear and camouflaged as much as possible. Conducts targeted fire from long distances against the best enemy tanks.

Losing artillery in battle reduces the probability of victory by 20-40%, depending on skill and replacement tactics in critical situations.

Another division of equipment in World of Tanks is based on the type of acquisition. Highlight basic And premium tanks. The latter have characteristics that are many times better than their basic counterparts.

How to get the best tanks in World of Tanks:

Buy for silver (credits).

Available to absolutely all WOT players. Silver is earned in the process of fighting, and the speed of pumping up the tank and its crew depends only on you.
To acquire the best tanks located at the end of the vehicle tree, you will have to conduct research on previous armored vehicles and their key modules.

1. Buy in the Premium Store — https://ru.wargaming.net/shop/wot/vehicles. For those who want to speed up the pace of development and are not against pouring real money into the game. Here you can get the best tanks, both in terms of firepower and silver farming with experience in World of Tanks.

Win the competition.

You can get the best tanks by participating in competitions and quizzes on the official website or group in Wargaming VK.

The best tanks in World of Tanks by category

The official World of Tanks website has a section dedicated to descriptions of absolutely all tanks http://wotbase.net/ru/tanks/all. Here you can choose the best tanks based on your own preferences and desires regarding the characteristics of armored vehicles.

We decided to compile mini-reviews of the best tanks in various specializations and areas. The lists of the best will include both basic and premium tanks.

a) The best tanks among large-caliber ones.

We decided to start with large-caliber equipment, because this is where the firepower of the team lies. You can take the enemy off the map with just one targeted shot, and if the enemy survives, he will remain afraid of your gun until the end of the battle.

No. 1. T92 HMC

The key feature is the high level of separation of the enemy from a single salvo, which provides the best performance in destroying enemy tanks among similar weapons.

It is not suitable for close combat, since even light armored vehicles can penetrate its protection, and given the position of the gun, in 90% of cases the enemy tank will be inaccessible to the T92 NMS barrel.

Advantages:

• best in terms of damage among self-propelled guns;
• maximum fragment scattering area in World of Tanks;
• above average camouflage + high-quality UGN.

The disadvantages include the length of time it takes to reload armored vehicles and the difficulty of hitting them. Learning to shoot accurately at an enemy can take weeks of practice.

Without taking into account the negative aspects of this handsome man, having learned to skillfully manage aimed shooting, you will appreciate the high class of his penetrating art power.

No. 2. O-I

A Japanese tank with great penetrating power and decent protection (the frontal part consists of 1.5 cm of high-strength steel). And all this at the 6th level of technology development! The large slope of the turret allows most small projectiles to rebound, which significantly increases the survivability of the vehicle on the battlefield.

In addition to protection, the tank has two cannons - one has a high rate of fire, but low accuracy, the other produces crazy figures of one-time damage - more than 900 units.

Advantages:

• one of the best UVN;
• high levels of mass damage + penetrating ability of the gun;
• compared to other self-propelled guns, it has one of the highest reserves of armor;
• excellent viewing opportunities.

The downside of the tank is its dimensions, which reduce mobility and the ability to protect against more serious equipment. The side sides are the most penetrated part of an armored vehicle. Thin armor + ammo that is vulnerable to the enemy can cause a lot of problems for the player.

To increase the safety of the vehicle, it is usually assigned an “escort”, which increases the survivability and overall damage figures of the team in battle.

No. 3. FV215B

It is very difficult to master, but if you learn all the intricacies of its control, you can become the main fighting force of the team in World of Tanks battles. High aiming and low dispersion allow targeted fire even at high speed.

In addition to accuracy, you also get range, which makes it possible to carry out fire attacks even on barely visible parts of tanks at long distances. All the described advantages make this armored vehicle an excellent sniper with high performance and potential in combat.

Advantages:

• has the highest rate of fire and accuracy among heavy vehicles in World of Tanks;
• high tank armor;
• overview over 400 meters;
• It’s much easier to shoot on the move than its tier 10 counterparts.

The disadvantages include low maneuverability and weak armor of the lower part of the hull and sides. The one-time damage is not great, but such characteristics are quite enough for sniper fire.

You should especially beware of cover from enemy self-propelled guns, since the top and side parts of the armor do not exceed 0.4 cm.

Large vehicles with great penetrating/covering power allow the team to increase its chances of winning, and make you a key party player in World of Tanks.

b) The best tanks in World of Tanks among farming equipment.

Gold is only an auxiliary currency in World of Tanks. Players can download and buy tanks and modules with crews for silver and experience, which is given after each battle. Farming tanks increase the growth of these indicators and increase the overall profitability of each battle.

Now we will analyze the best representatives of this direction, which will allow the tanker to receive maximum benefits.

No. 1. FCM 50 T

In terms of combat operations in World of Tanks, this is a strong middling weapon with fairly high armor strength. The highlight of the tank is its cannon with high penetration and aiming accuracy. Having adapted to the peculiarities of shooting, a tanker can shoot accurately at the enemy without sparing ammunition, since it is not very expensive.

Advantages:

• dynamic and maneuverable;
• a wide selection of cheap shells during battle;
• viewing range and communication are among the best among analogues.

Considering the fact that we are talking about a heavy tank, the level of armor for such armored vehicles is clearly too low. Control problems may also arise due to the fact that the machine body has an elongated shape.

This tank is a premium one - the purchase will cost almost 12,000 gold, but it will more than recoup the investment due to the increase in resources from the battle.

No. 2. SU-122-44

A premium tank costs 6,750 units of gold, which means the player will not need to pump in modules. It cannot boast of any special characteristics; it is used for breakthrough attacks together with heavy equipment, and the key location during the battle is the middle line, behind the backs of heavy vehicles.

Mobility allows you to conduct targeted fire at the middle tanks of the enemy and quickly disappear from their field of view.

Advantages:

• within 60 seconds it has the strongest damage indicator in World of Tanks;
• low landing + thick gun mask;
• good mobility combined with the correct angles for drawing the armor.

The disadvantages include convergence and accuracy, primarily due to viewing angles and low landing of the equipment.

Due to its characteristics, it is rational to use the vehicle in World of Tanks for farming - such tanks are not sent to be shot at the beginning of the battle, so you can calmly play tricks on the enemy, contributing damage to the overall score and earning additional resources.

No. 3. LÖWE

Another premium tank worth 12,500 gold units has one of the highest rates of silver and experience gains in World of Tanks during battles. In battles, it is a support vehicle - its high landing position is very vulnerable and in close combat it has no chance against more maneuverable opponents, especially from weak sides.

Advantages:

• powerful gun with high armor-piercing rates + projectile speed;
• armor is one of the best in World of Tanks;
• has a large supply of shells.

This tank does not have a high speed - 20-24 km/h. The 1 cm thick side armor allows it to withstand direct hits from medium tanks and survive them due to its long range and accuracy.

Its low speed makes it a frequent victim of artillery attacks, so you should conduct combat operations with this tank very carefully so as not to fall into enemy traps.

Almost all tanks for farming are available in the premium store. With such a piece of equipment, you can significantly speed up the process of earning game currency and, accordingly, leveling up in World of Tanks.

c) The best armored tanks in World of Tanks.

These tanks are aimed at absorbing the main damage and can bring a lot of trouble to the enemy. Using artillery and finding weak points are vital measures if you want to survive a fight with such an opponent.

No. 1. MAUS

A very heavy tank (over 190 tons), which is used as a shield, both in attack and in terms of base defense. But give priority to his participation in attacking actions.

By removing such a heavyweight back, you will be able to protect a key point, but the front line will become much weaker, and after the main forces of the allies are defeated, the heavyweight will be put on his shoulder due to numerical superiority.

Advantages:

• the best armor in World of Tanks;
• good supply of shells;
• good stabilization of the gun, both when standing and on the move;
• Average damage over 60 seconds is above average.

It is most rational to use this tank as a shield in the urban landscape - when forming a chain and conducting aimed fire from behind the back of the mouse.

Previously, this tactic was one of the best, but after the release of level 10 self-propelled guns in World of Tanks, Mouse faded into the background. However, one should not completely discount it.

No. 2. ST-I

Tactical purpose - breaking through enemy positions. This decision is due to thick armor that can withstand direct hits from a distance of 220-240 meters without noticeable consequences for the tank. The cannon hits the enemy with precision, making it an excellent breakthrough element in any battle.

Advantages:

• high quality armor around the perimeter of the vehicle;
• the gun turret is one of the best in World of Tanks, thanks to its protection and aiming angles;
• maneuverability of the tank.

Although the armored vehicle is quite good, you should not rely on a single breakthrough. There should always be 2-3 allies in support, then you will be able to defeat even more famous tanks of levels 9-10.

Having a lot of weight, the tank has good mobility, which makes offensive actions not only more effective, but also speeds up breakthroughs, and this is especially important on the flanks.

No. 3. IS-6

The tank is premium and costs 11,800 gold. The average speed is 33 km/h, but the car picks it up quite quickly, which allows us to call the IS-6 one of the most mobile heavyweights in World of Tanks.

Due to the bevel, the front armor of 1 cm allows it to withstand even direct hits from middling tanks and some heavy tanks.

Advantages:

• perimeter armor is above average;
• shielding + low landing;
• one-time figures of damage caused are 390 units.

The low landing of the equipment makes it possible to easily hide from artillery shelling and get close to the enemy. Given the short firing range, the tank will only be useful in close combat.

Thanks to the large numbers of one-time damage, even a couple of volleys at the enemy can significantly damage his equipment, and such vehicles are never superfluous in battle.

d) The best tanks in World of Tanks for eSports.

Tournaments and team battles are commonplace in World of Tanks. The question arises: which equipment will be useful, and which will simply become ballast? We have selected three tanks that are most often used in events of this kind.

No. 1. LTTB

One of the top light tanks in World of Tanks, worth 2,400,000 silver. An excellent weapon makes it possible to gut the weak points of enemy heavy tanks, and high speed and maneuverability ensure evasion of most of the enemy’s guns.

The armor ricochets attacks from light and medium tanks well, and visibility of almost 400 meters and camouflage help you hide from the enemy’s field of view in a couple of seconds.

Advantages:

• dynamics;
• an optimized weapon that has everything necessary (speed, penetration, accuracy);
• armor + disguise.

Tactical purpose - breakthrough to the enemy base and assistance in capture. Here, use the light of enemy tanks and tactically retreat, and after the allied artillery strike, repeat the raid.

It is good to use the advantages of the vehicle towards the end of the battle, when the defense has weakened - breaking through to the enemy’s artillery in such cases will not pose any problems for the LTTB.

No. 2. M41 WALKER BULLDOG

Used for breakthroughs and exposure of enemy tanks. Speed ​​and maneuverability provide protection from heavy, slow-moving vehicles, and radio communications, reaching 350 meters, will notify the allies of the completed task and give the green light for artillery shelling.

Advantages:

• guns with excellent vertical aiming angles;
• DPM guns;
• dynamics and speed of movement on the battlefield.

The disadvantages include weak armor around the perimeter and, moreover, their prices are unreasonably inflated.

Although the tank has a breakthrough tactical nature, its large dimensions can affect the completion of the mission. But if you make the right choice of gun, this problem will be eliminated by itself (two types of guns are available in the study).

No. 3. AMX 50 100

The pioneer of France in heavy tanks with drums, in terms of game tactics, is very similar to his lighter colleagues from the middle category. Thanks to the most powerful cannon, the tank becomes a prime target for the enemy, and thin protection only makes it easier for enemy artillery to destroy it.

Tactical application is very wide - catching an opponent while reloading, conducting targeted fire from an ambush, finishing off half-dead enemy tanks with 1-2 salvos, and so on.

Advantages:

• high armor penetration;
• high-speed and maneuverable tank;
• gun damage – 1800 units.

Although the vehicle has a high speed rating, it is not worth competing with average vehicles - the elongated body reduces maneuverability and it becomes easy to come under artillery fire.

Take your armored vehicles to cover in time to reload and keep an eye on your opponent’s artillery – only then will the profit from your actions be the greatest.

In eSports, tanks play an important role as they can decide the outcome of a battle. Priority is given to light vehicles with high speed and penetrating power, which allows them to successfully expose the enemy and destroy enemy artillery.

e) The most accurate tanks in World of Tanks.

Accuracy is one of the key elements in World of Tanks. What's the point of having strong armor or penetration power if you rely on luck when shooting?

We have selected the three most accurate representatives, when using which it will be enough to lock on the target and simply press the mouse button.

No. 1. OBJECT 263

The basic vehicle of the USSR, which combines the best qualities of many tanks in the WOT world. Frontal armor shows itself especially advantageously at a distance of 250+ meters, since at close range the chance of hitting the vehicle’s vulnerable spots increases.

The key tactical goal is to conduct targeted fire at enemy tanks from behind cover. The invisibility of the equipment is also ensured by the low landing.

Advantages:

• optimization in terms of dynamism and agility;
• rear travel speed is the highest in World of Tanks;
• strongest forehead armor + low tank silhouette;
• gun with the best accuracy and high firing rate.

The disadvantages include poor armor on the sides and the elongation of the tank, and the engine in the front of the hull can become easy prey for mobile vehicles at a short distance.

No. 2. GRILLE 15

A vehicle with an impressive cannon that can scare the enemy just by its appearance. The armor is below average, so the main task of the vehicle is to conduct targeted fire at the enemy from cover, and you should always keep 1-2 tanks nearby in support of this armored vehicle.

Advantages:

• high-precision massive weapon;
• high speed of mixing;
• dynamic and mobile.

The disadvantages include a mediocre ammunition rack and an open wheelhouse. They make PTs an easy target for high-speed light tanks, which are sent to enemy bases to spot enemy vehicles and destroy key fire forces.

Did you not have enough information about top tanks from the article?

An expert talks about 5 more imbov cars in the video:

No. 3. AT 15A

A universal vehicle used both to defend positions and to break through to enemy bases.

The armor and rate of fire are perfect for taking out enemy tanks in narrow openings, where hiding from sight is most problematic. Thanks to horizontal aiming, conducting targeted attacks from behind cover will not be any problem.

Advantages:

• accuracy and rate of fire;
• high reserve of armor;
• high-quality shells with good penetrating power;
• horizontal aiming has been optimized.

The disadvantages include a small supply of one-time damage to enemy targets and the inactivity of the vehicle. Although the armor of the vehicle is above average, there are still problem areas in the defense, and if you take into account the poor visibility, these two factors make the tank an easy prey for enemy artillery.

To avoid problems, launch armored vehicles accompanied by 2-3 tanks, which will provide protection and make it possible to conduct targeted fire without thinking about protecting problem areas.

World of Tanks is not a game where the tank decides everything. Combat skill and tactical subtleties can give a significant advantage to even weak armored vehicles.

Each piece of equipment in the game has both strengths and weaknesses. By taking them into account and covering them with the help of your teammates, you can become a truly good tanker with leadership abilities that can be useful in real life.

We have compiled several mini-reviews where we tried to look at the best tanks in World of Tanks with various tactical purposes in battle. We hope that the information will be useful to you and that choosing the right tank will become much easier.

Which tanks in WOT do you consider to be the best?

Like most multiplayer computer games, World of Tanks depends a lot on your individual skill. If you know how to drive your vehicle, know its pros and cons, and know how to use and hide them, then you will be able to defeat a more powerful tank, and even several opponents at the same time. It is also worth noting that team actions usually decide a lot, since in this game there are usually two teams fighting for different sides of the participants in the Second World War. Accordingly, if you go on the attack alone, you can be eliminated very quickly, and you will not be able to benefit your team, but will only harm it, leaving your partners in the minority. However, with all this, it is worth noting that there are still cars in the game that cause awe in all gamers, because in certain characteristics, as well as in average indicators, they are superior to their own kind. And if such a tank is in the right hands, it can achieve a lot. In this article you will learn not only what the best tank is in World of Tanks, but also the top ten from which you can choose your dream car.

Tenth place - FV215b (183)

It’s worth noting right away that the game features not only tanks - anti-tank self-propelled guns are also extremely popular in WoT, which are used mainly as self-propelled artillery guns, although there are also models that cope much better with the enemy in close combat. Naturally, if we are talking about what is the best tank in World of Tanks, then we cannot do without anti-tank installations. One of them opens the hit parade, ending up in tenth place. This is the FV215b (183), a British tank destroyer that has won the respect of many players. Its most important advantage is the incredible damage it can inflict on the enemy. An accurate hit with maximum luck can destroy almost any tank model and cause very impressive damage even to ten-level vehicle models. However, it's worth noting that the problem with this art is its low accuracy and slow reload time, so you'll have to work hard to get the most out of it. Naturally, this is not the best tank in World of Tanks, but it’s still definitely worth paying attention to.

Ninth place - Bat Chatillon 155

In ninth place is another artillery - as you can see, this class of military equipment is very popular in this game. Naturally, the best tank in World of Tanks is unlikely to be an SPG, but these models are well represented in the top ten. This time the art belongs to the French line and has many impressive qualities, the first among which is speed. This combat vehicle can drive very quickly around the map, running away from dangerous opponents and moving to a convenient distance from which it can fire. Here it also has advantages, such as a drum with four charges to make several shots in a row, fast aiming speed and fairly fast reloading. However, the only drawback is that the damage is not the highest, so you will have to choose victims who do not have the thickest armor. With the right skill, you can easily defeat even the best light tank in World of Tanks.

Eighth place - T-62A

The best light tank in World of Tanks will not be revealed to you yet - in eighth place is a medium tank belonging to the Soviet branch. The T-62A is a rather difficult model to master, as it has very thin armor on the hull. It would seem, why is this tank in the top ten then? It's all about skill, which was already mentioned earlier. If the owner has steady hands and a sharp mind, he can easily find a way to use this model one hundred percent. For example, you need to choose advantageous positions in which the enemy can only normally aim at your tower. Various ditches, ditches and similar depressions are ideal for such a task, so you can use the features of the landscape to turn your disadvantage into an advantage. The thing is that this tank has very thick armor on the turret, so you don’t have to worry about it being penetrated, so you can carry out your maneuvers without problems. With the right skill, you can spin even the best heavy tank in World of Tanks, but you will still need support to destroy it.

Seventh place - KV-1

Another Soviet tank that is definitely worth checking out is the KV-1. If you are asked what is the best tank in World of Tanks at level 6, level 5 or lower, then you can safely point to this vehicle. Among the lower levels, the first Klim Voroshilov simply has no equal. You don’t have to hide, don’t stick to your partners, but just go forward and shoot your opponents who get in your way. Naturally, such tactics should be followed only if the enemy squad does not have tanks of a higher level. The fact is that the thick armor of the KV-1 is beyond the capabilities of only its classmates - at most one level higher. But if the tank meets a high-level enemy, an unpleasant situation may arise. Therefore, it is better not to break away from your partners, but to act together with them. In a team, the KV-1 is an ideal tank that can inflict quite a lot of damage and collect shots that will not cause much damage to it. A squad with a KV-1 can easily defeat an enemy who has, for example, the best Tier 7 tank in World of Tanks.

Sixth place - Object 268

After a short break, PTs are returning to the hit parade, without which it is difficult to imagine a full-fledged squad in the World of Tanks. You can endlessly answer questions about which light tank is the best in World of Tanks, but still artillery will play a key role in any battle, while light tanks are extremely highly specialized. That's why Object 268 is a very dangerous machine - it can destroy opponents of different levels and with different armor thicknesses. Powerful damage from the cannon and excellent camouflage, which leaves no chance for the enemy to be detected, make this tank extremely dangerous. You can hide in the bushes and shoot at illuminated enemies, causing chaos and destruction. If you are nevertheless noticed, then you can use other advantages of the Object - the thickness of its armor and quite good speed. You can either take the damage or try to get away from the battle in order to continue shelling from other bushes. And if you are asked which Tier 10 tank is the best in World of Tanks, then you can calmly answer that whatever it is, Object 268 will cope with it without problems - especially if it has competent partners who do not let opponents get too close to him.

Fifth place - M18 Hellcat

The M18 Hellcat model is another proof that tank destroyers are a class that decides a lot in World of Tanks. However, this particular model requires a very clear ability to control it, an understanding of the principles of its operation, as well as a sharp mind that will prompt you with solutions in difficult situations. It’s worth saying right away that the “Hell Cat” finds itself in difficult situations very often, but from almost every one of them, with quality management, it can emerge victorious, or at least alive. This is an extremely small PT that has one of the highest speeds in the game. In addition, it features a very high-quality cannon, large enough for such a baby, as well as correspondingly poor armor. Naturally, if you understand what you are doing, you can find the balance necessary for survival. The best heavy tank in World of Tanks, level 10, of course, in a one-on-one battle, can destroy this tank, grind it into dust, but to do this, you first need to catch it in your sights. And this is not easy to do - the M18 Hellcat can spin any heavy tank no worse than an LT, so it has enough advantages to get into the top five. If a tank destroyer can spin up close and shoot from afar the best tank in World of Tanks, level 10, then there is nothing to talk about - it deserves the highest marks.

Fourth place - Waffenträger auf E 100

The time has come to pay attention to the German branch, although it is still the PT that receives attention. If the best tank in World of Tanks at level 5 is the KV-1, then the Waffenträger auf E 100 can easily defeat it without even letting it get close to it. The fact is that this anti-tank installation is a full-fledged fortress on tracks. Of course, she won't be able to become a ninja tank like the previous model, but she doesn't need that. You can safely engage your opponents, since they are unlikely to be able to penetrate your armor, but much better is the fact that you yourself can destroy almost any tank with a direct hit. Few people can boast that even a level ten tank can be blown up with one salvo. Naturally, even the best heavy tank in World of Tanks, level 8 or higher, can fall in battle with the Waffenträger auf E 100. Please note that with all these characteristics, this tank can reach a fairly high speed. In general, this is a full-fledged death machine, which you should definitely be wary of if you meet it in open battle.

Third place - T57 Heavy Tank

The top three are opened by a rather interesting model - the T57 Heavy Tank, a heavy tank that does not have particularly thick armor. It would seem that such a tank was forgotten in the top three if the thickness of its armor is just over 120 millimeters? This is simply unacceptable for a heavy tank, but this particular model may well compensate for all the shortcomings of thin armor with its advantages. First of all, it is worth noting that this “cardboard” armor has one pleasant feature - shells very often ricochet off it due to its pleasant angle of inclination. This way, you can avoid a direct hit for a very long time - enough time to use your powerful weapon to destroy the enemy. Separately, it is worth talking about the weapon, which has a drum for four projectiles, each of which can inflict up to 400 units of damage. Imagine a heavy tank, from which all your shells fly off, although you thought that you would destroy it with one or two shots, and which, in response, pumps four charges into you at once in turn, causing a total damage of more than 1500 points - this is really frightening. As you can see, the best can be not only the one with the thickest armor and the most powerful gun.

Second place - AMX 50 Foch (155)

Another tank destroyer, but this time we will talk about exactly the type that was mentioned at the very beginning of the article - artillery that practically does not engage in artillery shelling. But first things first. First, it's worth mentioning the armor of this tank. The armor at the front is simply impenetrable, so you can safely go forward with this tank, but do not forget that the quality of the armor is limited by the frontal part. You will have to constantly make sure that no one gets to your flank or rear, as you will be demolished in one shot. Also keep an eye on your tower because it is the most vulnerable point. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do here - it all depends on the enemy’s accuracy. Time to move on to the gun, which is no less terrifying than the previous tank. With a three-shot drum, you can deal about two thousand damage, even if you just drive towards enemy tanks and fire all three charges at once, playing kamikaze. If you use the advantages of this tank wisely, you will be able to earn enough frags and deal a lot of damage - the main thing is not to engage in battles at close range and not to let anyone in from other sides except the front.

First place - KV-1S

Few doubted that a sample of domestic technology would come first. This heavy tank is called “Kvass” by many in the game because of the way its name is spelled. However, it is worth noting that it is simply magnificent in absolutely all respects. Start with the armor - it is strong on all sides, and not just on one side, like most top tanks. You can do any type of combat without worrying about the fact that on some side you have a hole that a clever enemy can target. What can we say about the gun, which is simply excellent for this model; it has high accuracy, good damage and fast aiming. You just need to jump out from around the corner, aim at the enemy and watch how his armor gives a hole, and the tank, if not killed, then becomes seriously crippled. Pleasant speed, good maneuverability of the tank and mobility of the turret - all this deservedly puts this model on the first line of the hit parade. It is unlikely that any other tank deserves first place like the Kvass. Naturally, if we consider specific classes separately, the results will be completely different - it is very difficult to choose the best from all the models, since they all have their own tasks that they need to cope with. For example, light tanks did not make it to the top because they cannot inflict high damage and do not have heavy armor, but they perform a very important role as scouts, revealing enemy tanks for their heavier partners and artillery fire.
