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

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

The KV-5 is a Tier VIII heavy from the Soviet tech tree. It has a strong hull and turret armor. This makes the KV-5 a good choice for ramming strategies. If taking down an opponent's tank like a heavy-weight wrestling champion is your idea of fun, send this metal monster to your garage!

Although the KV-5 can run up to 40km/h, it needs space to execute ramming techniques. Also, beware of vehicles from higher tiers as the KV-5 cannot penetrate armor beyond 125-209mm.

Get the KV-5 if you strongly value a good defence and a tank's credit-earning capability.

Pros:

• Strong hull and turret armor
• Can take a lot of damage
• Decent speed for a heavy tank
• High HP
• Earns a high amount of credits
• Good rate of fire

Cons:

• Large size makes it a challenge to find proper hiding spots
• Low penetration for its tier
• Slow turret traverse

Many opponents will run for cover when they see a 8,8 cm Pak 43 Jagdtiger. Its rounds can penetrate armours that are 152-252 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

Did you know that the Panther/ M10 was the first tank to sport a different colour from the other tanks of its nation? Performance-wise, this German Tier 7 medium tank has great accuracy for its tier, and superb speed and traverse. It also has the highest HP out of its tier 7 medium tank counterparts.

Although it does not deal very high damage, it is balanced by a good rate of fire. Be sure to keep moving to avoid getting hit on the sides and rear armour where the tank is at its weakest.

Other than that, this tank has low repair costs and high credit income, making it more cost-effective in comparison to other Panthers.

Pros:

• Good rate of fire
• Great accuracy for its tier, and decent accuracy while moving
• Excellent speed and traverse
• Decent acceleration
• Excellent turret traverse
• Low repair cost and high credit income
• Highest hit points out of all tier 7 medium tanks
• Never sees tier 9 fights unlike the regular Panther
• Least expensive tier 7 premium tank
• Relatively thick turret armour combined with a decent gun mantlet/gun depression and lack of easily targeted cupola make it pretty good at hulldown
• Upper glacis is effective at bouncing shots from tier 7 and lower tanks due to the average thickness combined with its sloping
• Excellent support tank for tier 7 heavies

Cons:

• Mediocre thickness on the armour
• Retains the thin lower glacis weakpoint from the Panther. When penetrated, the tanks tends to light on fire (cover this as much as you can)
• Fairly low damage per shot, but average compared to the tier 7 mediums. Only the T20 has a large difference in terms of alpha damage
• Barely sufficient penetration against tier 8 tanks, run away from Tiger II's or IS-3's unless shooting sides/rear/weakspots

Pros:

• Excellent penetration
• Strong turret armour
• Good gun depression
• Superior accuracy
• Ideal for crew training

Cons:

• Low alpha damage
• Weak hull armour
• Quite slow for a medium tank

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:

• Shoots rather slowly, considering the IS-2 has the same gun, is a tier lower and shoots faster
• Very thin side armour, and cannot sidescrape as well as the IS-6
• 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

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

Cons:

• Great damage per shot
• Very high penetration with gold ammo
• Good mobility

Cons:

• Poor aim time and accuracy
• Average penetration with AP ammunition

The T2 Light Tank is an American tier 2 premium light tank. It is very fast with a top speed of 72 km/hr. Good driving skills are needed to bring out the best in this tank. Well-executed circling tactics will increase your rate of survival.

It has a weak gun and poor armour. So, keep moving to avoid enemy fire. Avoiding direct contact is also a good idea since being rammed to destruction is a possibility. This tank serves as a great distraction to opponents while your teammates take down unsuspecting tankers.

Pros:

• Great acceleration and top speed
• Deals a decent amount of damage
• Good gun elevation
• Small size allows it to hide in bushes easily

Cons:

• Poor armour
• Poor view range
• Poor signal range
• Poor matchmaking

The M22 Locust is a fast and fun tank to play. It's a small sized American tier 3 premium light tank that can reach a top speed of 64km/hr pretty quickly regardless of terrain. Don't get too carried away by its fast speed though, as the radio range of the M22 is limited.

It boasts a higher penetration that its German counterpart, the T-15, but is less manoeuvrable and has a lower view range. It has good penetration for its tier with a 37 mm M-6 gun equipped and can take out opponents with its high rate of fire. However, the gun cannot penetrate tier V tanks unless you target their weak spots. One thing to look out for when playing this tank is to be mindful of your ammunition supply as the limited supply of 50 shells can run out quickly.

Pros:

• Good hit points for this tier
• Nice top speed
• Good penetration for its tier
• Good accuracy, aim time, turret traverse speed and elevation arc
• Good accuracy on the move
• Good view range

Cons:

• Not very agile
• Low protection
• Small ammo capacity
• Poor signal range
• No special matchmaking

This American tier 5 premium medium tank is well-armoured and has decent speed for its type. The Ram II has a strong defence that makes it a great support tank. Be mindful of weak spots and this tank can be one tough customer for enemies to handle.

Although its penetration is not fantastic, it is effective against most tier 5 tanks. Its rate of fire at 26.2 rounds/min gives it a high DPM which can take out tanks with weaker armour. You can choose to team up with a tank with stronger firepower to leverage on each other's strengths.

Pros:

• High DPM
• Manoeuvres and accelerates well
• Higher chances of bouncing shells
• Good in close-range combat
• High HP
• Good armour

Cons:

• Poor view range
• Weakspots can easily be exploited
• Poor alpha damage
• Slow aim time
• Poor accuracy

The T14 is a tier 5 heavy tank that has an upper-hand over medium tanks of a similar tier or under. It has thick turret armour on all sides. And has a good rate of fire, allowing it to dish out damage before an enemy knows what's happening.

Although the T14 is the weakest heavy tank for its tier, it has decent mobility which will allow you to move out and help allies in need. Familiarize yourself with hull down tactics to get the best gameplay out of this tank.

Pros:

• Good speed and acceleration
• Strong turret armour
• High DPM
• Earns credits quickly
• Good HP

Cons:

• Low alpha damage
• Low penetration
• Slow Traverse speed
• Bad accuracy

Pros:

• Solid armour can easily bounce shots
• Good rate of fire
• Turret traverses quickly
• Quite mobile for the amount of armour it has

Cons:

• Lower speed and manoeuvrability than other light tanks
• Poor signal range
• Driver hatch at front is a big weak spot

The Valentine II is a Soviet tier 4 premium light tank. Don't let its looks fool you. This tank may look small, but it has strengths and weaknesses similar to those of heavy tanks. It also has great armour and has 380 HP which is generous for its type and tier.

You can choose to lead the charge with this tank's strong armour and high rate of fire. Spearheading an assault alone is not recommended, so team up with a TD or an ally with a better gun for best results.

Try to avoid attention from enemy snipers and arty. The Valentine II can't run with its slow speed. But it can hide well because of its small size.

Pros:

• Heavy armour with few weak spots
• High HP
• Easy to camouflage in bushes and behind rocks
• Fast gun/track traverse
• High rate of fire
• Decent damage and gun depression
• Good matchmaking

Cons:

• Gun is weak against tier 4s
• Weak engine
• Low speed limit
• Low ammo capacity

The Churchill III is a Soviet tier 5 premium heavy tank. Although slow, it has devastating firepower! It has a high rate of fire at 26.25 r/m which can down opponents quickly. Look out for weak spots and bully those pansies into submission! Another great feature that makes this tank a keeper is that it generates a lot of EXP, which makes it a great tank for training your crew.

But like most bullies, the Churchill III could only pick on tanks of its tier and under. Make a run for it when you see higher-tiered heavies or when you feel that enemy arty is trying to push you off the playground.

Pros:

• Armour is highly effective against tier 4s
• Largest HP pool of any tier 5 tank
• Very high rate of fire, reasonably accurate even while moving
• Frontal weakspots easily hidden by hull angling
• Generates a high level of EXP, which speeds crew training
• Cheap ammo and repair costs
• Preferential matchmaking means it only sees up to Tier 6 battles
• Very large ammo capacity

Cons:

• Moves, accelerates, and rotates slowly
• Low alpha damage
• Barely-adequate penetration values
• Poorly-protected turret
• Mostly unsloped armor
• Priority target for artillery
• Gun reloads faster than it can aim

Something great about the T-15 is that it has the agility to drive circles around enemy tanks. This tier 3 German light tank also has good HP for its tier. It also makes a good scout with an excellent view range.

Although its gun is decent against tanks of the same tier, it will not deal much damage to higher tiers. So take advantage of the T-15's speed and aim for weak spots.

Pros:

• Good hit points for a tier 3
• Good accuracy, aim time, turret traverse speed, and elevation arc
• Good agility
• Good view range
• Decent armor for a light tank
• Extra signal range

Cons:

• Below average damage and penetration
• Does not perform well in scout rushes
• Not to be used for scout rushes
• Scouting can be difficult if there are many other fast tanks

The Sexton I is a British tier 3 premium self-propelled gun.

Although it does not damage well, nor is it extremely accurate, it has a high rate of fire for its type. The Sexton I is also capable of reaching its top speed of 40km/hr quickly.
