T26E4

The T26E4 Super Pershing is an American tier 8 premium medium tank which has improved armour in comparison to the M26 Pershing. It is even possible for some shells to penetrate the spaced armour without the tank taking serious damage. The tank's DPM and accuracy are decent. However, do take note that the T26E4 Pershing is very slow for a medium tank. So, use strategies that work best with medium tanks. Knowledge of different terrains and sneaking up on enemies from the rear and sides will contribute to your future victories. Pros: Thick sloped frontal armour is good for bouncing shots

Good rate of fire

Able to pivot in place

Great gun depression

Good matchmaking Cons: Extremely weak side and rear armour

Fuel tanks are a weak spot

Weakspots are easily exploitable

Low acceleration and does not perform well at climbing uphill

Poor AP penetration

T34

The T34 is a premium tier 8 heavy tank from the American tech tree. It is one of the highest damage dealers for a tier 8 heavy. With a powerful gun, shots can even penetrate certain tier 10 vehicles.

Be careful to watch your back. Because there are lower-tiered tanks out there that can take down this tank with surprise attacks from behind. Utilize the T34's strengths by supporting the team from behind. Pros: Capable of high penetration and alpha damage

Frontal turret has a strong defence

Great gun depression

Good acceleration

Excellent credit maker Cons: Low rate of fire

Inaccurate

Takes long to aim

Poor view range

Very weak hull armour

Slow traverse

Large size makes it easy for enemies to spot

Catches fire easily

Löwe

The Löwe is a Tier VIII Premium heavy tank. It has an excellent gun for a Tier VIII heavy with better accuracy & penetration compared to a Tiger II’s top gun. The excellent view range allows you to earn credits quickly. The tank’s upper glacis armour is strong enough to withstand 122mm of penetration and its well-sloped front of turret can bounce of shells even from Tier IX TDs. Pros: Excellent accuracy

Excellent gun for a Tier VIII heavy

Better accuracy and penetration than what Tiger II's top gun

Very strong gun mantle (comparable to JagdTiger's superstructure)

Excellent money-maker

Excellent view range

Upper glacis is strong enough against IS's 122mm

Well sloped front of the turret can bounce even Tier IX guns from TD's Cons: Large size, easy artillery target

Large lower glacis

Catches fire easily

Tank has under average HP/weight ratio

Upper glacis isn’t strong enough to resist guns with 200mm or higher penetration guns

8,8 cm PaK 43 Jagdtiger

Many opponents will run for cover when they see a 8,8 cm Pak 43 Jagdtiger. Its rounds can penetrate armours that are 152-254 mm thick. Not to mention, it has a high rate of fire. High accuracy also allows you to take down enemies easily by attacking weak spots. This TD can deal 180-300 HP of damage. Although the Jagdtiger is powerful, it is extremely slow and has weak armour in the sides and rear. Use this for sniper roles and find good hiding spots to avoid detection. Long-range strategies are your best bets. Better yet, find a good team that can protect your sides. Pros: Very strong superstructure

Extremely precise gun that easily hits weak spots

Fast reload time and consequently good DPM

Ability to hull down

Excellent aiming time

Decent armour for Tier VIII

Excellent view range

Good amount of hit points

Thick tracks can absorb damage

Can engage multiple frontal targets easily - great for holding chokepoints Cons: Slow traverse speed

If "tracked" while going full speed, the momentum of such weight will turn the tank 90°, exposing its potentially thin sides

Poor Alpha damage - cannot compete with "peek-a-boo" tactics, and most halfway decent players won't just sit and let you shoot them repetitively

Can easily catch on fire if hit in the lower glacis

Side armour is weak

Large superstructure combined with slow speed make this tank very easy for artillery to hit

Immobility combined with lack of turret makes this tank have a huge lack of versatility

FCM 50t

Take the FCM 50t if you're looking for a French tank that can aid your transition from medium to heavy tanks. This Tier VIII heavy runs at a maximum speed of 51km/h and can provide you with the familiarity of a medium tank's speed. On the plus side, it has a decent gun that penetrates 159-265mm of armour. The tank can put up a good fight with excellent aim time, accuracy, and reload time. One of the tank's drawbacks is its low damage for its tier. The large size makes the tank bad at performing sneak attacks or taking cover. Pros: High top speed, combined with quick acceleration

Excellent tank traverse, can turn on a dime

Great penetration, better than even the Panther II

Good credit maker, due to the high DPM and accuracy combined with cheap ammo costs

Great view range

Great rate of fire, when used with trained crew/BiA/Rammer

Decent gun depression/elevation

Good accuracy

Special matchmaking that makes Tier IX the highest it can get against, allowing it to penetrate most tanks it faces

Excellent tank for support on medium wolfpacks, much like the other high tier French heavies

Great speed combined with relatively high weight makes it good for ramming, especially versus medium tanks

Large tracks can soak damage fairly reliably. When turning corners, you can make enemies shoot your tracks Cons: Average armour for a heavy, though very good compared to tier 8 mediums

Giant silhouette, many forms of cover are not particularly effective, and artillery has no problem hitting you

Low alpha damage

Prone to module and crew damage

Priority target for artillery

Ammorack can be damaged easily, safe stowage skill for loader or/and wet ammorack equipment is recommended for use

IS-6

The IS-6 is a Tier VIII premium heavy tank which belongs to the Soviet tech tree. This tank has decent mobility for a Tier VIII heavy – especially when compared to the Löwe. It packs a punch with its high damage and can prove to be a lethal weapon in close proximity engagements. It has one of the highest DPM among Tier VIII premium heavy tanks. It has thick, well-angled armour from the front & sides. Its weakness lies in the rear armour where the fuel tanks are located. But if you're careful enough to prevent exposing this area to your opponents, you'll be kicking up a storm with this vehicle on the battlefield. Oh, and did we mention what a credit-maker this machine is? Pros: Second best damage-per-minute of the Tier VIII premium heavy tanks, after the KV-5

Good alpha damage

Preferential matchmaking (Tier IX maximum)

Thick, well-angled armour from the front and sides

Good credit profitability

Decent mobility for a Tier VIII premium heavy tank – especially when compared to the Löwe Cons: Low ammunition capacity

Below average gun penetration

Terrible accuracy and aim time

T-34-3

The T-34-3 is a Tier 8 Chinese medium tank.



This tank is a variant of the T-34-2, a Chinese credit tank and also its successor in the real world. Like all improved variants, the T-34-3 outshines its older brother in every single way in the game, featuring improved armour, weapons and mobility.



The main gun of the T-34-3 is undoubtedly the highlight of the tank, as it is taken directly from the 112. This means that the T-34-3 can potentially - with the use of premium HEAT rounds - achieve the same 250 penetration rating as the heavy tank, which is more than enough to pierce the armour of any medium tank in the field.



Because of its strengths, most players consider this a worthy alternative to the Type 59 medium tank. Pros: Tough turret

Great damage per shot

Very high penetration with gold ammo

Good mobility Cons: Abysmal gun depression

Poor aim time and accuracy

Average penetration with AP ammunition

Long reload time for a medium tank

Low DPM

112

The 112 is a Tier 8 Chinese heavy tank.



Most people will agree that the 112 is like a distant cousin of the IS-6 due to an approximately equal amount of armour and gun performance. However, there are some key differences that separate one from the other; its armour is slightly thicker and is distributed more towards the front rather than the sides, enabling it to withstand more hits in a head-on attack.



The gun's performance is equally impressive, which is enhanced by the premium HEAT rounds that it can fire. With it, one can achieve a powerful 250 penetration rating, which can demolish all but the toughest tanks in the game. As the speed of the 112 is adequate at best, the tank is most suited for brawling in close range, where its armour and armament can outlast the enemy. Pros: Good alpha damage

Extremely effective frontal armour, effectively 240mm thick

Thick turret is cast and rounded, making it very tough

Good straight line speed, can keep up with some medium tanks

HEAT ammunition is very effective Cons: Very weak lower front plate is easily penetrated

Susceptible to both fuel tank and engine damage causing fires

Engine power is rather low, making acceleration sluggish

Bad tank traverse makes it turn badly

Poor accuracy, typical of Russian 122mm guns and their derivatives

Terrible aim time, also typical of Russian 122mm guns and their derivatives
