The KV-220 is a Tier 5 heavy tank from the Soviet Tech Tree.

Although it has low penetration and a weak gun, it has potential to be a serial killer in battle. Be familiarised with weak spots of other tanks and you'll have a great chance of dominating the enemy.

Its armour is strong on the front and sides. But when driving this tank, remember: "Arty hates you." They will find you, and they will shred you to ribbons. Angle yourself well and keep moving to avoid getting hit.

Pros:

• Strong armour
• Well-angled armour can bounce shots
• Fast reload speed
• Ramming techniques can be used

Cons:

• Weak penetration against better-armoured foes
• Low accuracy makes it bad at sniping
• Weak damage

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

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

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 can bounce most shots when angled well
• Quick track traverse speed and adequate acceleration
• Decent gun

Cons:

• 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

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 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
