In World of Tanks, the most important thing is tanks. Real combat vehicles are presented here, each of which has its own unique history. This is partly why this game is so popular in the world. Each player for himself finds a good tank in World of Tanks and calls it ideal. But in this review we will consider the most attractive cars, which are nice to play and fight for the victory of your team.
It's pretty hard to pick out the top 10 World of Tanks tanks. After all, each car is good in its own way. Some tank will be very fast, some will be powerful, and some will combine both high speed and power. And by what criteria to determine the effectiveness of the unit? However, at each level there are its most successful combat vehicles, which we will try to highlight.
Just note that the review of good tanks in World of Tanks we will start immediately from the fifth level, as below this level are used frivolous fighting vehicles. They can hardly be called effective and interesting. In WOT, serious battles begin at level 5 or higher.
Level 5
To summarize, the best tanks in the World of Tanks level 5 are only 3. The first of them is the Soviet KV-1 unit. This is a fairly well-known Soviet machine, which was a great success on the battlefields against Nazi Germany. This tank has a solid historical component, powerful circular armor and diverse weapons. All this made the tank a serious reputation in the game. Almost every gamer of the older generation considers it his duty to buy this tank and pump it to the maximum.
The second best tank in World of Tanks 2017 is also the Soviet T-34. She also has a rich history. It is believed that T-34 combat vehicles changed the course of the war. In the game, this tank is appreciated for its high maneuverability, as well as for the 57 mm ZiS-4 gun, which easily penetrates armor, but does little damage. There are two popular development lines for the Soviet Union in the WOT game : medium and heavy tanks. At the fifth level, gamers have the opportunity to purchase such combat vehicles.
There is also a cool KV-220 tank, but getting it is pretty hard. In the game, users call it “imba,” that is, a machine that does not match the balance. It has a circular reservation. He is hardly punched by a 5th level gun. Even the Sixes often cannot damage the armor of the KV-220.
Level 5 Bonus
The bonus at the fifth level is the T67 combat vehicle - this is an American anti-tank self-propelled gun with high speed of movement, invisibility, low silhouette, and most importantly - high penetration of armor. The unit without any problems destroys tanks of its level with a single shot.
Level 6
At the sixth level, the best tanks in the World of Tanks are represented by one Soviet and two British combat vehicles. You should start with the legendary T-34-85, the monuments of which are in many Russian cities.
The T-34-85 is the medium tank of the USSR, which has maneuverability and a good weapon that can penetrate strong armor. High accuracy, rate of fire, maneuverability make the unit popular. Also, his relevance is explained by a rich fighting history, but this does not play a role in his fighting qualities, which are at their best. With well-chosen tactics, position and shells, many experienced players on this 6th-level machine won a victory against more powerful 8th-level tanks.
The second good tank in Level 6 World of Tanks is the English Cromwell. The car is good for extras. Unlike the Soviet T-34-85, the British Cromwell has no armor at all, which is why the car received tremendous speed and a high-speed gun. All this gives a significant advantage to the player who “shines” the enemy tanks for his team without any problems.
The third level tank is the Sherman Firefly. This combat vehicle has a cool OQF 17-pdr Gun Mk. VII, which allows you to effectively fight even against older tanks of the 8th level.
Level 6 Bonus
A bonus at this level is the Soviet KV-2 tank with very powerful armor and an M-10 caliber 152 mm cannon. This machine is able to fight even with units of the 10th level, not to mention the fighting vehicles of its level. However, getting this tank is quite difficult. Therefore, it is extremely rare in the game, which can not 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. Therefore, it is difficult to single out equipment that would have significant advantages over other combat vehicles.
The first good tank in Level 7 World of Tanks is an IS or IS-2. Both cars are almost identical to each other. Therefore, we will add them to this list. IS - one of the most popular tanks in the game, is quite famous because of its powerful gun, mobility and armored turret. If such a tank of the seventh level gets into a battle with equal vehicles and tanks of a lower level, then the allied team has it easy - the IS always goes ahead in battle. And often it ends well. If the IS gets into battle with higher-level tanks, then sheltering is a good tactic that also brings results.
The second unit is the Tiger I. This German heavy tank took part in the Second World War. He also has a rich history, and in the yoke its implementation is simply amazing. The machine has 1500 strength points, is equipped with a Kw.K gun. 43 L / 71. Playing on such a tank is pleasant and fun. But if the car enters battle with tanks of a higher level, then tactics need to be built, as for anti-tank artillery.
The third best vehicle is the T29 heavy tank with powerful armor, which sometimes even level 9 vehicles cannot penetrate. Of course, this model has its advantages, but weaknesses are also present. A good balance between armor, mobility and the damage done makes this machine almost universal and convenient for use on the battlefield, which explains the popularity of the tank.
Tier 7 Premium Tank
At 7th level, the best premium tank in World of Tanks is the so-called “Gatling machine gun,” or “flea,” the German anti-tank self-propelled gun E-25. This is a very small car, which is hard to get into. It causes a lot of problems to clumsy and “blind” vehicles like Soviet TT tanks. Damage E-25 does small. However, the rate of fire and accuracy infuriate opponents who fall under the sight of this "flea". Unfortunately, this car has become so popular that it is no longer even on sale. However, there weren’t 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:
- T-34-1.
- T71.
- Spähpanzer SP I C.
- LTTB.
- M41 Walker Bulldog.
All of these models should also be on this list.
Level 8
Already quite serious tanks are represented at this level, which take part in company battles, global maps, fortified areas.
In World of Tanks, the best tank of level 8 is the IS-3. Such a machine is ideally suited to all of the battle modes listed above due to its frontal armor of the tower and hull, high-quality guns, 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 with, on which beginners will constantly lose. It is a slow and large tank without armor, which is easy to destroy. However, experienced players set records on this tank again and again. As an analogue, you can offer the French tank AMX Chasseur de chars. In this car, the armor is even weaker. However, the camouflage coefficient of this tank is high, which makes it difficult to detect. The model also has a very high speed, which is guaranteed by the Maybach HL 295 F engine with a capacity of 1200 horsepower. Among the best medium tanks in the World of Tanks, the AMX Chasseur de chars deserves attention in the first place. That's just to play it you need to be able to, and a beginner can not recommend such a machine for battle.
The AMX 50100 is the next best tank of the 8th level, which is often found in company battles and fortified areas. Such a combat vehicle in 1-2 shots can destroy any tank of its class and quickly "escape" from the scene of the crime. That's exactly what most players try to use the car. The biggest drawback of the tank is its long reload time, lasting 50 seconds. During this time, the tank is the "meat" for the enemy. The second weak point is the lack of armor. However, this is typical of many French cars.
Level 8 Bonus
Bonus tanks of the eighth level are the tank destroyers of English production Charioteer and the Japanese medium tank STA 1. These are hidden combat vehicles that are perfectly masked. Therefore, it is appropriate to use them as support for allied tanks that are fighting on the main battlefield.
9th level
The improved tank VK 45.02 (P) Ausf is an imba (i.e., an unbalanced vehicle), which, with new strong armor, represents one of the best tanks at later levels. The technique perfectly restrains the onslaught of the enemy and can be at the forefront of attack. However, it’s important for her not to “glow”. 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 medium German tank E 50. This is a universal machine that can suddenly open on an unexpected section of the map, coming from the rear of the enemy. It can also be used as a heavy tank for a frontal attack. Thanks to its high mobility and powerful, precise cannon, playing the “bishop” (as this model is called by the players) gives a lot of pleasure. This machine gives the player a lot of combat options, and he decides what tactics to choose. For an experienced gamer, this opens up great opportunities, but it will also be quite pleasant for a beginner to ride this tank. However, if a player has reached level 9, it can hardly be called a beginner.
M103 is the third best heavy tank of the 9th level. This American instance has high front armor, which withstands large caliber hits. Therefore, it is appropriate to use it in battle as the main breakdown force. And if the card allows, then due to good mobility the tank allows you to play "cat and mouse" with enemies.
Level 9 Bonus
The 9th-level bonus vehicle is the Soviet T-54 medium tank. The developers worsened this car several times, reducing the thickness of the body armor. However, such a tank is still a very popular and worthy contender for the title of best. High speed, low silhouette and mobility - these are the advantages of the car.
10th level
At the last, 10th level are the best tanks, which are to some extent the result of the technical development of each nation. All cars of this level have their own "chips" and have good characteristics. Naturally, there are even imbs of the type ART-SPG, PT 10 and Waffenträger auf E 100, which should be replaced.
In general, the best tank of the World of Tanks level 10 is almost impossible to allocate. After all, we are always talking about extremes. There are huge "cast-iron walls" that are difficult to break through, there are powerful heavy drum machines, as well as diverse medium tanks. Therefore, the player will have to make a choice and determine for himself which tank is better in World of Tanks. Indeed, the excellent balancing of the game does not allow you to select the best car, which would be superior to others in all (or at least half) parameters. Therefore, among the "ten" to select any one tank is impossible.
Conclusion
Each player determines the best fighting vehicle for themselves to the best of their abilities and game style. Some people like to butt on heavy tanks, while others prefer fast movement on the map in order to find targets for their team. The developers very carefully worked out the characteristics of all the fighting vehicles in the game and excluded situations when most players choose the same unit, forgetting about the rest.
