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 it can approach a 6 second reload (or 10 RoF)
• 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
• Expensive to buy
• 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

The FCM36 Pak40 is a tier 3 French tank destroyer. Its 180HP is higher than average for a tank destroyer because of thick hull armour. This tank destroyer can absorb damage well too. Offence-wise, shots from this machine pack great armour penetration capabilities at 74-123 mm. Combined with a good rate of fire (15.92 rounds/min) and accuracy, you get a very lethal and powerful tank destroyer in your arsenal. The FCM36 Pak40 works best against targets that are slow or motionless. So, blast away at those happy campers, dealing a whopping 83-138 HP of damage per shot, when your team members feed you with enemy locations.

However, like most tank destroyers, its speed limit is slow (24 km/hr). Keep an eye out for good hiding places to avoid detection.

Pros:

• Good armour
• Good penetration and rate of fire
• Good accuracy and aim time
• Excellent view range
• Good gun depression

Cons:

• Poor engine power and top speed
• Narrow gun arc
• Poor signal range
• Low ammo capacity

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

The Pz.Kpfw. B2 740 (f) is a German tier 4 premium heavy tank. It has an excellent view range of 330m and has a gun with decent accuracy. A high rate of fire of 27.63 r/m helps this beast to deal lots of damage in battle. It can perform well in both long-range and close-distance combat. Enemy ammo tends to bounce off its thick hull sides too.

Although this tank has good defence and offence characteristics, it can be slow and hard to manoeuvre. It does not have difficulty taking care of enemy tanks of a similar tier. But will face problems when it's up against enemies with better armour.

Pros:

• High rate of fire and quick aim time
• Good matchmaking
• Thick hull sides bounce most weapons of their tier when angled
• Superior to the B1 in almost every aspect
• Nippy track traverse speed and adequate acceleration
• Gun is far superior to the regular 47 mm SA35

Cons:

• Weak gun
• Does not camouflage well
• Frontal armour retains the 35mm weak spot
• Thin turret is easily penetrated up close
• Exposed tracks
• Low top speed
• Basic radio

The TOG II  has a generous dose of HP and strong armour. Its angled armour can also bounce enemy shells. Get this tank if you are looking for a survivor that can deal good damage. This British tier 6 heavy tank has a good rate of fire, accuracy, and penetration.

Many tankers make fun of the TOG II's size - it is clumsy at running and hiding. But it can be an intimidating force when used defensively or in support roles. Never underestimate the TOG II!

Pros:

• Good Rate of Fire
• High HP for its tier
• Great accuracy and penetration
• Armour can bounce shots with good angling
• Hard to be detracked
• Resistant to ramming
• Good matchmaking
• It gives other players something to laugh about.
• Constantly underestimated on the battlefield

Cons:

• Second largest tank in the game, making it an easy target
• Very poor top speed makes it 2nd slowest tank in game
• Large ammo rack
• Armour is mostly flat
• Low alpha damage
• Slow acceleration
• Large tracks are easy to hit
• One of the lowest win rates of all tanks
