[Tank Guide] TOG II*

Everyone knows the VI TOG II* : the true idol of World of Tanks.

It is one of the biggest, slowest, and longest vehicles in the game, a combination of characteristics that sounds desperately impractical on the battlefield. But a true TOG connoisseur knows to look past its comically large silhouette and immeasurable meme potential; played strategically, in the right hands, its immense durability and hard-hitting gun could very well secure the victory for its team.

Read on to learn more about this adorable behemoth!

VI TOG II*  

Strengths

  • Highest gun penetration among Tier VI vehicles: can damage most enemies
  • Amazing durability; great for trading shots
  • Side armor can be decent when angled well
  • It's a TOG II*
  • Everyone's idol

Weaknesses

  • Slowest vehicle in the game; requires patience to play
  • Large size makes it an easy target
  • Front and side armor is thin and easily penetrated
  • It's a TOG II*

Gameplay

The  VI TOG II*  is a memorable presence on the battlefield; all the other heavy tanks look small, even cute in comparison. So beloved is this gentle giant that when you enter a match in one, you are sure to be greeted by cheers from both allies and enemies alike.

But of course, its looks and charm are not all it has going for it!

Armor & Survivability

With its massive frame comes incredible durability–1,560 HP, comparable to that of a Tier VII tank. Great for defending the base with! However, its size makes it a very visible target, and the vertically-angled armor on its front and sides is too thin to prevent penetration.

Even when defeated, the enormous wreckage of the TOG II* can serve as substantial cover for allies, or used to block critical routes. Think out of the box and try different strategies to achieve victory!

Mobility

The slowest tank in the game; nothing more needs to be said.

Repositioning the TOG II* takes a long time, so good situational awareness and cautious play are critical to mastering this tank.

Firepower

Now we're getting to the good part, for the TOG II*'s most impressive feature is its excellent gun. The highest penetration values of any Tier VI, short aim time, and good accuracy, all while firing 12 shots per minute! It can easily penetrate the armor of higher-tier tanks, and make quick work of the rest.

Plus, the TOG II* benefits from preferential matchmaking, so it will only be matched with vehicles of up to Tier VII!
