In the World of Tanks game, the most important thing is the tanks. Here are presented real-life combat vehicles, 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 amazing. 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.

To answer this question, you need to take into account the complexity and nature of the gameplay of the models presented in the development tree. Therefore, if you are a beginner player, then you should pay attention to equipment that is easy to learn, but at the same time with good performance characteristics (tactical and technical characteristics) in order to feel confident on the battlefield.

Many players, having downloaded it to their computer, immediately begin to explore the technology of the USSR. This is understandable: a heroic past, pride in the Great Victory - these circumstances, among other things, turn novice players away from German tanks. But, let's get this straight, Tanks is just an arcade simulator that is simply aimed at bringing pleasure to the game. So, to the point, first, of course, let’s look at the technology of the USSR.

USSR technology

Studying the Soviet development branch at first is highly recommended! The T-34 medium tank will teach you how to properly use DPM (potential damage per minute) due to its rapid-fire gun, as well as how to maneuver on the battlefield due to its good dynamics; The KV-1 heavy tank, loved even by experienced players, will help you understand the principle of using armor in the game (tanking in a diamond pattern and through a turret). Further from KV-1, it is recommended to go through the upper branch, which contains the following tanks: KV-1S, KV-85, IS, IS-3, T-10, IS-7. This is a popular path due to its simplicity and effectiveness; in particular, it is worth highlighting the IS-3 tank, which is the favorite of all players due to its balance (armor, dynamics and firepower). From the T-34 it is better to go to study medium tanks through the T-34-85 (an excellent tier 6 medium tank) to the T-54.

If you want to try the gameplay of a tank with a rear turret, then you are welcome to join the alternative thread, in which it is worth mentioning the Ob-416 tank (players jokingly call it the “mad frying pan”). From the T-54 (level 9) it is proposed to research 3 tanks, they, in turn, are all good and in many ways similar to each other, so it doesn’t matter which level 10 tank you choose, but if you want advice, the most popular one is Among them is the Ob-140, it is a cross between the other two. It is worth mentioning Soviet light tanks. As each tanker gains experience, he should have a lightweight LTTB and T-54 in his hangar, this is a fun and at the same time more careful and dynamic gameplay. They will teach you how to play from sight and dynamics.

Equipment from Germany and other countries

The German PT branch, including Marder, Nashorn, Sturer Emil, Borscht and Grill 15, will teach you how to play from concealment and vision, using excellent weapons. Not all PTs have a rotating turret - it seems awkward at first, but as the number of battles increases, you will get used to it. For beginners, we also recommend a branch that leads to the German heavy tank E-100 - this is an excellent level 10 heavy tank, one of the best in the game. As you level up, you will get VK and Tiger tanks, they are also very good for their levels.

Thus, to understand the basic principles of the game at first, the listed development branches are sufficient. Once you have played 5-6 thousand battles (and some even less), you will have a complete understanding of the game and the technique that will be needed in the future. In the future, we advise you to pay attention to the American branches of tanks, namely: PT - T67, the recognized flagship of the game for its level. At first, you will spend several dozen battles, merging from one shot of high-explosive tanks or the discharge of a machine gun drum of light tanks on you, but after that you will understand that you need to play it from a distance and camouflage, destroying opponents one by one with the help of an excellent weapon. You will truly get into your game and appreciate its power!

It is also recommended to go through the branch of US heavy tanks, here you will experience the zen of bending over from an impenetrable turret and gun depression angles (T29, T110E5 - dominates at level 10, but, according to an interview with the game developers, is subject to nerf). The USA has an excellent branch of light tanks: Chaffee, T37, M41 Bulldog, T49. Each of these tanks has its own features that will pleasantly surprise you.

And finally, it is recommended to go through the light tank branch of France, namely the ELC AMX bis (small silhouette, dynamism, speed, gun, visibility) - this is one of the best tier 5 tanks that will bring you a lot of positive emotions; The AMX 13 90 is an excellent drum light tank, often used for team battles.

In conclusion, we can say that for a novice player it is important to get comfortable with the game and find his own type of gameplay that brings him pleasure, and there will always be technical options.

Very often, avid tank players think, because if you chase several types of equipment at once, then of course you can forget about any of them. Before selecting the desired branch of tanks, you need to decide which tactics you prefer. Which tanks suit you best? And accordingly, what position you will take in the game itself. After all, each technique has its own purpose. For a successful game, it is better to keep at least one tank of different types in the hangar for comparison. And despite the fact that, most likely, you will be killed before the end of the battle, and, not having any other equipment, you will just have to wait for the end of the game. Therefore, the main advice would be to upgrade two types of tanks, but no more, this will save a lot of your time.

To make it easier for you to choose the right tank, we have compiled a description for each vehicle branch.
Of course, this article about the roles and features of different classes in WoT is suitable only for beginners. An experienced player will not find anything useful in it.

Heavy tanks

Such tanks are designed to defend the base and hold positions. Of course, their weight does not allow them to develop sufficient speed, but the fire they produce significantly destroys the enemy’s strength. A heavy tank's armor will generally be able to protect you from most ST and LT rounds. However, there is golda.

A recommendation would be to upgrade the branch of Soviet tanks leading to the IS-7. This choice is due to the fact that after the 5th level of the tank, the branch is practically devoid of shortcomings. It plays comfortably right up to the top.

Medium tanks

They are more flexible in their management. But the armor is much less than that of its heavy counterparts. On the question of which tanks are best to download in world of tanks from this category you can opt for the T-62A. Due to its rate of fire, this branch of tanks is capable of destroying some types of enemy equipment. Moreover, their branch itself is easy to master.

Light Tanks

Such tanks have great speed and maneuverability. They are also able to quickly leave the battlefield and go to cover. However, these tanks are used to provide light and identify enemy tank positions. The first branch is best to download the Ru 251 or T49 branch.

Anti-tank self-propelled artillery unit. Tank destroyer.

The advantage of the installation is that it deals very high damage over a long distance. Soviet, American or German cars are recommended for leveling up this category. You need to decide what is important to you. High armor or camouflage. In addition, there is a third choice: low armor, low camouflage and high damage (Grill).

Self-propelled artillery installation. Self-propelled guns.

The first branch for a beginner, of course, will be the Soviet one. Its crown - object 261 will be the most comfortable. In addition, the art of the 9th level of the Americans is not bad.

Conclusion

When choosing a vehicle, carefully study the characteristics and take a responsible approach to which tanks are best to download in the world of tanks. After all, both your game and further available equipment will depend on this choice. During the game itself, the main thing is to clearly distribute the responsibilities that the technique itself includes, and follow a plan that will lead your team to victory.

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.

Which nation should I download? Who is better? We hear and see such questions very often. This could be yours

Which nation should I download in wot? Who is better in world of tanks? We hear and see such questions very often. This could be your friend who has just recently registered and is just getting to know tanks, or it could be a question asked in random.

We will try to find out what we can advise and how not to make mistakes in our tips. To do this we need to know:
1) How to choose the branch that is suitable for you
2) What will each nation give us?
3) What is required for a particular nation.

There are 6 nations in the World of Tanks game. These are England, China, USSR, France and the USA. So, in order to choose the right branch, you first need to understand the capabilities of some of them.

Probably, many people have a Soviet tank in their hangar, but when you bought it several thousand battles ago, you didn’t even think about what would happen after this or that tank? Some decided to download Soviet equipment only because he is a patriot, or has some kind of hatred for fascist technology. But then, having reached higher levels, they thoughtlessly sell their tank, then regret it and buy it again...
To prevent this from happening, you should first study this thread. We look at the USSR branch, study all the tanks, starting at least from the fifth level. If you, for example, liked the IS-7, this does not mean that this is the branch from which you will enjoy. After all, it will take a lot of time to get to level 10. View all tanks, study their armor, their guns, speed and dynamics.
If you are satisfied with everything, only then can you begin this branch of development.

Tanks USSR They are mainly distinguished by their good dynamics, including both heavy and medium tanks.
Medium tanks of the USSR have good armor for their class. The most striking example of this is the ST level 9 T-54. Perhaps one of the most armored tanks at its level, and the most among the tanks of other nations.

Having chosen the branch of medium tanks of the USSR, you must be prepared for the negative features of these tanks, such as poor dynamics of the TT (T-150, KV-3, KV-4, etc.), mediocre armor of the ST (T-34, T-43, T -62A), as well as positive ones, which are much easier to get used to, for example, BL-10 already at level 8 of the USSR ISu-152 tank destroyer. The worst thing about Soviet tanks is their gun depression, the same T-54 and T-44, they are quite bad, so be prepared for not the most comfortable game. Soviet heavy tanks are divided into two branches. If you are a fan of speed and dynamics rather than armor, then it would be better to choose tanks from the IS series. The second branch, along its entire length, has better armor, but the speed and dynamics are mediocre.

Do you like good damage and a penetrating gun? - in this case, tank destroyers of the USSR will please you with this.
In other words, when choosing one or another tank of the Soviet Union, know its advantages: speed and dynamics and good armor, and its disadvantages: poor air defense and mediocre penetration and accuracy of the gun.

American tanks, as it seems to me, are the least armored, since their lower armor sheet is very cardboard and is made from many guns. What sets this nation apart is their strong tower. American tank destroyers have a turret that turns with difficulty, but still turns.

French people, some of the most interesting tanks in the game. They are unique, they have everything except armor. You must be able to play very quickly, and know where and at whom to discharge your drum, without counting on a ricochet or not breaking through.

Germans owners of the best fluff. Most German TTs are often used for defense due to their armor. The guns are distinguished by their accuracy and good penetration (not counting the E-100 and some other tanks). But I, playing on the Tier 7 German TT Tigre, was disappointed in it, because this tank has only a cannon among the positive qualities, with a penetration of 203 mm and good alpha damage of 240 units, getting a penetration into the lower armor sheet, there is a risk of catching fire, and also break the engine or concuss the driver.
There is no armor at all, it even penetrates the edges of the tower from level 5-6 guns. But the tank is capable of dragging through battles.

One way or another, all nations in the game have distinctive features. Keep in mind that having made your choice, having reached large levels, it will be too late to change it, or rather stupid. Each branch is specific in its own way. And among evils there is a choice. When choosing what to download, consider everything! Good luck to you!
