On this moment More than 290 military vehicles of the past are available in World of Tanks. Each tank has its own strengths and weaknesses, but there are some vehicles that are extremely comfortable to play on; these tanks really bend over backwards. We have selected for you the best tanks at each level so that you know what exactly to buy in order to have the greatest influence on the outcome of the battle. In general, if you want to bend over, read the material!

Before we start, let me tell you about how the tanks for the material were selected. Server-wide statistics for each tank were taken as a basis. The highest win percentage was counted. However, some corrections were made, because there were situations when the equipment was new and had only been upgraded experienced players, which causes the tank win rate to be significantly higher for no reason. In addition, the material did not include such vehicles as, for example, the KV-220, the statistics of which are very high, but the tank is now impossible to get.

Some levels housed several tanks, because it was very difficult to choose the best one.

First level - MS-1 (49.08% wins on the server)

The undisputed leader comes from the USSR - MS-1. Thanks to its complex of characteristics, Moska mercilessly oppresses newcomers and faggots who have just entered the game and have tens of thousands of battles behind them.

The MS-1 does not have armor (at the first level no one has it), amazing dynamics or accuracy... But a 45mm gun can deprive the enemy of 47 HP, which is quite a lot. In addition, the tank is small in size, which reduces the likelihood of being hit.

Watch video about MS-1

Second level - PzKpfw 38H735 (f) (56.53% wins on the server)

Although I promised not to include in the article tanks that are impossible to obtain, I simply cannot help but talk about the Minimouse, since this unusually protected tank can simply brutally destroy random battles thanks to its luxurious armor.

Pay attention to the win percentage on the server - 56.53% is very, very high. And all because the PzKpfw 38H735 (f) has absolutely amazing 40mm thick all-round armor. Classmates by level break through Minimouse with great difficulty, and first-level machines may not even try to do this (unless the same MS-1 can try and it is unlikely to succeed).

In addition, this 40mm armor is located not only in the forehead and sides but also, attention, in the stern. Among the disadvantages of the PzKpfw 38H735 (f) it should be noted its low speed and not very high penetration. However, these shortcomings are easily compensated by the luxurious advantages of the car.

But enough choking on your saliva, let's move on to the machines that you can buy and on which you can bend no worse than the PzKpfw 38H735 (f).

T18 (50.43% wins on the server)

Do you want to bend at the second level? Please, there is nothing complicated about this, for this you will need straight arms and a small accessory in the form of an American T18 tank destroyer. Why is T18 better than its classmates? It's simple - thanks to the huge one-time damage, a tank destroyer can literally one-shot enemies, and thanks to its excellent speed, you can quickly react to the situation on the battlefield, which changes at lightning speed in the sandbox. It’s also worth mentioning the good 51mm armor of the tank destroyer, which can save you from being shot at Hard time.

Of course, it was not without its drawbacks. You should always remember that you are a tank destroyer, not a tank - the T18 does not have a turret, so an enemy that gets behind the lines can cause you a lot of problems. And the enemy can get used to the board, which is also not very pleasant.

And one more thing - to guarantee high damage, carry Serbogold with you, if, of course, you have enough silver.

View about T18

T2 Light Tank (53.95% win rate on server)

If T18 is created for those who like to one-shot the enemy, then T2 Light Tank will appeal to players who love fast rides. This is one of the fastest tanks in the game, so you can always hope that the tank's engine will help you out in difficult times. For example, when a base is captured, you can quickly return and knock down the capture.

In addition, in addition to speed, the T2 Light Tank boasts an unusual weapon - a machine gun that destroys 12 units of HP in one hit. If you know how to use these weapons correctly, you can work real miracles.

The tank also has disadvantages, for example, a complete lack of armor and not very high maneuverability, which will play a cruel joke on you more than once.

T2 Light Tank in all its glory, watch video

As you can see, at the second level you can choose between two tanks. Consider what style of play you like.

Third level - FCM36 Pak40 (59.02%)

A phenomenally high percentage of victories on this French tank destroyer FCM36 Pak40! This is not surprising - powerful weapons and good armor (machine guns are not scary) allow you to work real miracles.

In addition, the PT unit boasts phenomenal visibility at its level - as much as 400 meters! You see the enemy when the enemy does not even suspect that he is glowing like a Christmas tree. Properly using the visibility and power of the FCM36 Pak40 gun, it can carry through the toughest battles. And don’t be scared by the fact that the FCM36 Pak40 costs real money, the price is not very high, only 850 gold coins. Believe me, this is a small price to pay for bending.

The disadvantages include low speed and not very large horizontal aiming angles. The disadvantages are not very significant; the advantages outweigh them several times.

Level four - Hetzer (49.45% win rate on the server)

At the fourth level, it was quite difficult to choose the most bending tank, since almost all the vehicles are quite average in their characteristics. However, an interesting tank destroyer at this level is also called “Hetzer”. True, for comfortable and effective bending you will need a lot of silver. Fat frontal armor and an excellent land mine, capable of depriving an enemy of 350 HP, make Hetzer a real monster. Of course, for a comfortable game you need to shoot with serbogold in order to maximize your chances of inflicting those same 350 units of damage.

The vehicle is quite unique and in inept hands the Hetzer will infuriate the tank driver with its low speed.

Fifth level

KV-1 (49.1% win rate)

Don’t look at the fact that the KV-1 has such a low win rate on the server. This is due to the fact that the tank is extremely popular, and the statistics on it correspond most closely to the concept of “balance”. Excellent protection at its level, excellent weapons, but poor mobility and visibility - that’s key features this tank. Getting into the TOP, the KV-1 drags the battle and is the main combat unit of the team.

View about KV-1

S-35 CA (52.21% win rate on the server)

The second machine for bending at the fifth level is the S-35 CA, which has absolutely lethal weapons - a 105mm gun can upset the enemy by as many as 300 hit points, which is a record among its classmates. Huge number! If an evil VBR throws you to the top of the list, then you can be punished mercilessly.

The machine's disadvantages are standard - lack of armor, low speed and low strength. But believe me, these shortcomings are compensated by crazy damage. And the visibility of the S-35 CA is excellent - we can see as much as 400 meters. If you install an enlightenment and a pipe... Soviet blind tanks will suffer, suffer a lot;).

Open spoiler

AT 2 (52.23% win rate)

This tank destroyer is suitable only for those players who adore the sound of shells bouncing off them. Thanks to the record thickness of the armor, AT 2 survives where the rest of the team would have already merged. Just imagine, at the fifth level we have access to as much as 203mm of frontal armor! Damn, this is so cool that you can’t even ask for anything better.

The stern and sides, of course, are less armored, but 101mm is also very helpful.

What characteristics of the AT 2 were sacrificed for the Serb? Weapons and speed. We move with the speed of a turtle and bite the enemy with the strength of a mosquito. Which, however, does not prevent this tank destroyer from bending brutally, especially on city maps where there are many narrow passages.

Playing on AT 2 became even more comfortable after update 0.8.6, since the evil SU-26 imba was nerfed. Feel free to buy if you like armored tanks. A lot of emotions are guaranteed.

Sixth level

KV-1S (49.06%)

A recognized imba in World of Tanks. The most brutal one-time damage of 390 units, enemy tanks burst in two shots. In addition to an excellent gun, Kvass has good mobility, which is quite unexpected for a tank that deals such wild damage.

The advantages are compensated by not very good armor (but there are ricochets, and quite often) and a high probability of fire (perks will help you).

The most popular tank in the game - it’s not for nothing that the “quaskaktank” meme is alive and well. "Kwaskaktank, can it take a hit?"

Look

M18 Hellcat (51.31% win rate)

High speed and excellent weapons are a deadly combination, especially in the realities of the World of Tanks. The Cat from Hell M18 is capable of not only dragging out battles, but also giving the tanker completely new emotions, because it is in this tank destroyer that you will find speed and good gun. A weak penetration- it's not a problem.

M18 Hellcat is a chic alternative to Kvass.

Open video

Level seven - PzKpfw VI Tiger (P) (50.19% win rate)

The seventh level, like the fourth, is also difficult to choose a bending technique. Many, of course, will prefer the Soviet IS, but I choose the German PzKpfw VI Tiger (P), which I advise you to do too, because with correct use You will enjoy every fight with this wonderful machine.

Excellent armor penetration and good 200mm armor make the tank truly interesting. Of course, low mobility and low one-time damage should be taken into account. But even despite these disadvantages, the PzKpfw VI Tiger (P) can bend. And if you place the tank in a diamond shape, enemy shells will regularly bounce off the vehicle.

Watch the video

Eighth level - IS-3 (48.69%)

And again we have an undisputed leader at our level. Enough a rare event, but it is the IS-3 at level eight that is the best tank. It has everything - a great weapon, good armor, mobility... The disadvantages are very insignificant - poor visibility and long aiming times are easily offset by its advantages.

Feel free to buy if you are looking for the most bending tank at the eighth level. The IS-3 is especially transformed after purchasing the 122 mm BL-9 gun, which increases armor penetration to 225 mm.

Look

Ninth level

T54E1 (51.83% win rate)

Despite its weak armor, the T54E1 is still capable of firing randomly, using its loading drum, which is capable of delivering 1560 damage. In addition, the T54E1 also has good dynamics, allowing it to quickly respond to a changing situation on the battlefield.

Show video

T-54 (49.32% win rate)

Armament, armor, speed - the T-54 has no disadvantages, only advantages. An extremely nice tank in World of Tanks, which is capable of bending not only in straight hands.

Show

T57 Heavy Tank (51.66% win rate)

And again we have a relatively new guest American tank with loading drum. Powerful weapons, good dynamics and very fast reloading of the drum are compensated by weak armor and a small margin of safety.

However, if you don’t expose yourself to enemy shots, you can hit record numbers in the “damage” column. One of the most enjoyable tanks at the moment.

Open video spoiler

AMX 50 Foch (155) (53.54% win rate)

How can we do without Focha, who after patch 0.8.6 became especially popular due to the almost complete absence of artillery in battles. It has excellent armor, a loading drum for three shells and excellent dynamics. AMX 50 Foch (155) is perfect example how one car can have the most significant advantages.

The disadvantages are insignificant - the lack of armor in the stern and sides, as well as the low margin of safety, practically does not play a role in random battles. Foch 155 is now bending like never before.

Well, friends, that's all for me. Of course, not everyone will agree with this list of tanks, but I tried to collect the equipment taking into account all factors as much as possible - the percentage of wins on the server, player voting, as well as personal feelings and observations. But in the end I will say one thing - even the most disgusting tank can bend. It all depends on your hands, the characteristics of the car are in the background, they only complement your skill.

Good luck in your battles and quickly level up!

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 reflections today are intended to establish the most 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: in RuNet alone there are more than a million subscribers.

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 “self-improvement” of a tank is perhaps incorrect - tanks are still different types, and arguing about which 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 do short review the most popular and effective tanks Level 10.

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 it takes a lot of time to aim, well, it’s simply unacceptable for a 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.

World of Tanks all combat vehicles are divided into ten levels according to their combat characteristics and, as is the case with many online mechanic games, each new level unlocks more powerful machines. Since all tanks and their characteristics are copied from real samples or prototypes of tanks, each of them is assigned a class.

Light tanks drive fast but deal little damage, heavy tanks are more durable but slow, and they also deal the most damage, medium tanks are the golden mean (among them the legendary T-34). There are also two support classes - self-propelled howitzer artillery (Art-SAU) and anti-tank self-propelled guns(tank destroyer). Depending on the chosen class, the player can perform various tasks, and the level of the tank helps him choose opponents based on strength.

Tank level system World of Tanks existed from the very beginning of development, as a mandatory element of the game mechanics, but the role of the levels was reduced only to the opportunity to unlock a more powerful tank. Now the levels of tanks play an important role for the balance of the game, but even at the alpha testing stage there was practically no balance in the game and a real genocide of low-level tanks was taking place on the game servers. To balance the chances of different players at the beta testing stage, the so-called. balancer - a special system for distributing tanks into playable groups.
The balancer selects equivalent teams for a game session for any of the 3 modes, and this process takes into account the level of the tank, its balance weight and some other features, such as belonging to a platoon. Each mode has its own balanced queue (33 in total, since 11 battle levels * 3 game modes). This means that opposing teams cannot consist exclusively of heavy tanks or high-level tank destroyers while their opponents are entirely made up of light, low-level tanks. All players are distributed evenly. A light tank in a team is compensated by a heavy tank and a tank destroyer by howitzer artillery. It is also worth noting that the game at different levels of World of Tanks tanks is not the same. Levels 5-6, the so-called, are deservedly considered optimal for the game. “midlevel”. At this stage, you can play with most of the available tanks, all maps and game modes are open, teams consist of the maximum variety of combat vehicles. Low levels are a kind of training for beginners who are not accustomed to the mechanics of the game, and the ninth and tenth levels are completely populated by extras and real pros of the game. The balancer's tank level +2 allowance allows, for example, to play a level 4 tank in the same team with 6, but the opportunity to play with “tops” is not always a desirable match. Especially at the highest levels.
Thus, the balancer provides an interesting and tense game, in which the team with stronger players, but not the machines, wins.
Among 10 tank levels World of Tanks Only at levels 4 to 8 there are tanks of all 5 classes. And that is why the game at these levels is the most interesting and varied.

World of Tanks: first level tanks

Represented by the following tanks and combat vehicles: MS-1, T1 Cunningham, Vickers Medium Mk.1, Renault Otsu, Leichttraktor and Env_Artillery, Renault FT, Kolohousenka and Renault NC-31.

There is no absolute “imba” among them. Tanks are more or less balanced. All Renaults are almost exact clones of each other and there is not much difference when playing for them. The German Env_Artillery is the absolute leader in damage dealt and is therefore often chosen by beginners for the game.

World of Tanks: second level tanks

Includes the following tanks: T-26, BT-2 and AT-1 of the Soviet Union, T2 Medium, M2 Light and T18 USA, Pz.Kpfw. and II Pz.Kpfw. 35(t) Germany, D1 and Hotchkiss H35 France

As with first-tier tanks, there is no absolute leader or outright loser here. However, it is worth noting the American T2 Medium with good characteristics that allow it to compete with tanks of the 3rd and 4th levels, as well as the Hotchkiss of France. Experienced players create a massacre using the durable but clumsy H35 against newcomers.


World of Tanks: third level tanks

They are distinguished by a huge number of light German tanks and artillery of various armor and calibers. The third level is still a “sandbox” with inexperienced players, but it’s already a complex “mixture” due to large quantity various techniques. Often the third level becomes the most difficult in a player's gaming experience - if a beginner does not master it, he quits World of Tanks.

The Soviet T-127 and the American M2 Medium are deservedly considered the most popular and strongest tanks of the third tier. Experienced players quickly get used to the mechanics of movement and shooting of these machines and play on them up to the 5th level.

World of Tanks: fourth level tanks

This is where the serious machines begin. The most important acquisition of the 4th level may be the German Hetzer. Many players adore it not only for its good characteristics in terms of speed, rate of fire and combat power, but also for its characteristic appearance and low profile. The absence of a turret on a vehicle does not in any way prevent you from dominating your enemies.


World of Tanks: fifth level tanks

Represented by a huge number of truly diverse cars. Already at the fifth level, outright “imbs” and real unplayable “buckets” appear. All light tanks of the 5th level are playable and almost equal in strength. But among medium, heavy and artillery, the leaders in popularity are the KV-1, T67, M-4 and the legendary T-34. The latter can be considered an “imba”, because its speed, rate of fire and good armor allows you to destroy almost all level 5 tanks World of Tanks.


World of Tanks: sixth level tanks

Level 6 pleases with the most “adequate” selection of combat vehicles. All are comfortable to play and well balanced. IN World of Tanks The best tier 6 tank is undoubtedly the T-34-85. In terms of shooting mechanics and basic parameters, the tank is no different from its younger brother, however, it has a larger caliber gun. It allows you to open cans even some tanks are level 8, and with proper leveling it becomes best friend for many hundreds of battles. In addition to the legend T-34-85 World of Tanks Tier 6 tanks are represented by the worthy SU-100 (the best tank in terms of performance), and the British Cromwell, as a worthy replacement for the T-34-85.


World of Tanks: Tier 7 tanks

The seventh level is the most difficult for choosing the best tank. All the machines presented in this level are balanced, playable and extremely effective in the “direct” hands. Among tank destroyers, the leaders are the Soviet SU 152 and SU 122-44. In terms of armor penetration and damage, they are the undoubted leaders, and their low rate of fire and low profile help them effectively fire for a long time.

The class of heavy tanks is best represented by the IS and T29, but the German Tiger in the hands of an experienced player can be a worthy competitor to them. Medium tanks offer the T44 and T20 as the fastest and easiest to master vehicles.

World of Tanks: Tier 8 tanks

The “border” of playable levels is presented great variety tanks that real life were single copies or supplied to the army in small quantities. Perhaps it was this fact that affected the playability and variability of war chariots at this stage of the game.

The German Spähpanzer Ru 251 is the best tank in terms of game variability. A powerful, high-speed tank does a good job of “breaking the mold” of a clumsy tank destroyer and allows you to quickly occupy key points. Among the heavy tanks, the leader is the IS-3, which is powerful, well-armored and unusually fast for tanks in the highest weight category. We recommend purchasing it. The best art, according to players, is the Soviet ISU-152 and the American M40/M43 as the most variable.

World of Tanks: ninth level tanks

There are no light tanks at this level. Only heavyweights, only hardcore.

The leaders among medium tanks are the Škoda T 50 and Lorraine 40 t as the best in terms of basic indicators. Variable machines that, with a “competent” crew, can work wonders on open maps. Heavy tanks offer us the ST-1 as the tank with the highest armor and damage. The tank destroyer and art self-propelled gun represent Tortoise and Bat.-Châtillon 155 55 respectively. Despite the presence of leaders within the boundaries of their level, we advise you to try out each of the few tanks of the 9th level. All of them are worthy of attention and can show excellent statistics even after the first battle.


World of Tanks: level ten tanks

Powerful and heavy, clumsy and tenacious, fantastic tanks, not small part of which lived only on drawings and in the minds of the shadowy geniuses of Germany, constitute the 10th level of combat vehicles. At level 10 you should play with full dedication - extras and pro players will not forgive you even the slightest mistake and will punish you for the slightest mistake. The JagdPanzer E-100, a self-propelled gun with a 170mm cannon, leaves no stone unturned by its enemies. Durable all-round armor allows you to withstand multiple hits from “mosquito” guns and gives you enough time to cut down as many inexperienced enemies as possible. Another example of level 10 tanks in World of Tanks is FV215B (183) - also an experimental model of British armored vehicles.

IN World of Tanks The best tier 10 tanks are presented by the following vehicles:

Medium tanks are represented by the T-62A (Object 165), which can rightfully be called the fastest among all classes. The biggest advantage of this vehicle is the highest projectile speed among all classes, high maneuverability and good armor. Undoubtedly the leader in popularity and the crown of tank development is the T110e5. This American tank is a real bending stick, an elusive sniper with strong armor, maneuverable chassis and good review. Pro players and eSports players often choose the T110e5 for serious gaming.


At the end of the article, it’s also worth mentioning the cards on which you can “test” your equipment.

Low-level battles can take place on a limited number of maps. They are characterized by the simplicity of the landscape, are easy to remember and provide the opportunity to ride light and medium tanks without artillery support.

  • Secondlevel adds Karelia, Prokhorovka, Ensk to these maps.
  • Firstlevel: maps of Himmelsdorf, Winter Himmelsdorf, Rudniki, Province and Malinovka.
  • From 4 to 10 levels All other maps are available, except for the Province map (only for levels 1-3) and Widepark (available for play at levels 4-6).

Thanks to numerous patches, updates and fixes, tank levels in World of Tanks are not stable. Numerous nerfs to vehicles and rebalancing of cards make significant changes to the gameplay.

If you are playing World of Tanks for a long time, then you should know the current news of the game and follow the progress of balancing equipment for more successful battles. In any case, at whatever level of tanks in World of Tanks you haven't played, your gaming experience will be a fun time among the community of this wonderful game. We hope our information about tank levels in World of Tanks and the principle of operation of the balancer was useful for you.

Dear friends, I am glad to welcome you all again!

The most significant place in the world of online games has been firmly occupied by simulators - from trains, planes, military equipment, ships, cars.

But none of the games of this genre can be compared with World of Tanks.

Here you don’t just have to monotonously plow roads, air or sea spaces, here you can take part in truly realistic battles.

That is why many are interested in the best tanks in the game and their choice.

The attention and love of a multi-million army of gamers is understandable and justified, but how to make the right choice? After all, the list of tanks in World of Tanks is impressive!

Let's think thoroughly and decide which of them are actually the best.

From this article you will learn:

Diverse world of tanks

Having started playing an exciting simulator, many beginners, and not only others, often simply fall into a stupor. The list of tanks is so impressive that it’s easy to get confused – almost 500 types!

The task of choice, however, is made easier by classification by nation:

  1. Japanese.
  2. Soviet.
  3. Chinese.
  4. German.
  5. French.
  6. British.
  7. American.

In addition, you can choose from types of armor and weapons (self-propelled guns, heavy, medium, light, tank destroyers) and by methods of receipt (gift/promotional, regular, premium). Let's look at some of the types in more detail, describing their capabilities and characteristics.

Why only some? I decided to focus on the machines that can be recognized as the best in their groups, since it is simply impossible to choose one leader. It all depends on your playing style and preferences.

What goals should a player strive for?

It makes sense that each player has a different style. Some gamers like to sit in ambushes, others like to play the role of “fireflies”.

You can do this or that in different ways, it is important to choose the right tank that best suits you.

First, decide what goals you are striving for, what do you want to get from World of Tanks?

To make it easier for you, I made a review of the tenth level tanks - the most effective and popular among players.

The best heavy tanks

The main task of these tanks is to go ahead, so they have quite serious damage and thick armor.

But no matter how strong the armor is, it is better not to expose them to attacks. This type of technique is suitable for gamers who prefer aggressive combat.

You can tank different ways- from the sides, reverse diamonds, from the towers and so on. The correct tactics depend on several factors, so German Tigers can be successfully tanked in both the first and second lines.

Among the best models are the German E-100 and the Soviet IS-7. German tank World of Tanks has cool armor and two guns (to choose from). Quite serious, slow, huge, instilling fear in opponents.

The Soviet one has great damage and is very fast, though it often ricochets, but nevertheless remains the most popular.

The best medium tanks

The job of these combat vehicles is to enter from the flanks or rear and cause damage.

Tanks cannot boast of serious armor, but, unlike heavy ones, they are more mobile and deal more damage due to constant opportunities to shoot.

The best medium tank in World of Tanks can be called the T-62A. In the skillful hands of a gamer, it becomes an unsurpassed weapon, especially if the crew is upgraded.

In the development branch of this tank there are models that are easy for beginners to master: (for example, A-44, T-34).

The best light tanks

Although these machines are called “light”, inexperienced players should not choose them. Controlling such tanks is quite difficult.

They differ from others in maneuverability and better camouflage. Only experienced, “hands-on” players can play such models.

Best light tank in the game, in my opinion, there is a Chinese WZ-132. Even when stock, this vehicle can be indispensable in team battles.

The best tank destroyers

In other words, an anti-tank self-propelled artillery unit in World of Tanks. The purpose of a tank destroyer is to inflict significant damage over long distances.

They are distinguished by high one-time damage, but have the disadvantage of prolonged aiming.

The most advanced model is the French AMX 50 Foch, capable of smashing any enemy tank to smithereens in a few seconds.

The best self-propelled guns

They are self-propelled artillery units. Although they lack armor, they are ideal for hitting enemies from long distances.

They differ in battle modes - the entire battle map is visible from above. I advise beginners to pay attention to French or British self-propelled guns.

The leaders in the game are the French Chatillon 155 58 self-propelled artillery unit and the Soviet object 261.

Tank development levels

Online game World of Tanks has 10 levels of development.

The players called the first four or five levels a “sandbox”. This is, so to speak, “grinding in”, first attempts, inclinations, simply studying the situation and choosing the appropriate style.

Levels five to seven are just farming and nothing more. It can be classified as a “profitable stage”, since the further you go, the more expensive the battles become.

The last levels give the opportunity to command newbies and incompetents, and increase the gamer's self-esteem.

Here is a list of the best tanks in World of Tanks. What should you choose? You won’t get a definite answer from anyone, just choose a branch where you can understand all the nuances of the game to the maximum.

At the same time, don’t aim for something complicated, wait, it’s not time yet. The tank should initially be easy to control and master. And then everything is simple - experience will come, and you can try it on any tanks by doing best choice just for yourself.

Even better, gather a team by inviting friends from social networks. Don’t forget to subscribe to blog updates, together we are strong and can outshine all opponents!

Have a good game everyone, see you soon!

In the World of Tanks game, the most important thing is the tanks. Here are real-life combat vehicles presented, each of which has its own unique story. 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, the best tanks in World of Tanks level 5 in total 3. The first of these is the Soviet KV-1 unit. It's quite famous soviet car, which had great success on the battlefields against fascist 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.

T-34-85 is medium tank The USSR, which has maneuverability and a good weapon, capable of penetrating strong armor. High accuracy, rate of fire, 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, position and ammo, many experienced players on this level 6 machine have won against more powerful tanks Level 8.

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 received enormous speed movement and 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 a very powerful armor and an M-10 cannon of 152 mm caliber. This vehicle is capable of fighting even with level 10 units, not to mention combat vehicles of its own level. However, getting this tank is quite difficult. Therefore, it is extremely rare in the game, which cannot be said about the T-34-85. This is one of the most popular models, which is in the arsenal of almost every player.

Level 7

According to many gamers, the seventh level of the game is the most balanced. Consequently, it is difficult to single out equipment that would have significant advantages over other combat vehicles.

The first good tank in World of Tanks at level seven is the IS or IS-2. Both cars are almost identical to each other. Therefore, we will add them to this list. The IS is one of the most popular tanks in the game and is quite famous due to its powerful gun, mobility and armored turret. If such a tank of the seventh level finds itself in a battle with equal vehicles and tanks of a lower level, then the allied team has an easy time - the IS always goes straight into battle. And often this ends well. If the IS gets into battle with tanks of a higher level, then shooting from cover is a good tactic that also brings results.

The second unit is the Tiger I. This German heavy tank took part in World War II. It also has a rich history, and in-game its execution is simply stunning. The vehicle has 1500 hit points and is equipped with a Kw.K gun. 43 L/71. Playing on such a tank is pleasant and fun. But if a vehicle gets into battle with tanks of a higher level, then tactics need to be developed as for anti-tank artillery.

The third best vehicle is the T29 heavy tank with powerful armor that sometimes even level 9 vehicles cannot penetrate. Of course it has its advantages, but weak sides are also present. 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” machines like Soviet tanks TT. 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 is the best Tier 8 tank is 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's slow and big tank without armor, which 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. Second weakness- 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 universal machine, which can suddenly open up in an unexpected area of ​​the map, coming from behind the enemy’s rear. 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 highlight 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 yourself to the best of your abilities and playing style. Some people like to butt heads 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.
