Featured Premium Tanks

Churchill III

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

Excelsior

Can’t decide between a medium and heavy tank? Think of the Excelsior as the perfect balance between a medium and heavy class. This British tier 5 tank moves at a decent pace of 38 km/hr and deals 83-138HP of damage. The Excelsior makes up for its speed with thick armour on the front and rear. Just be careful and avoid getting hit on its sides where armour is thin.

Pros:

Good speed that can keep up with the pace of battle
Thick armour that stops many lower-tier shots and the occasional high tier
Good RoF for a 75mm gun
Surprisingly thick back armour can protect you a bit from ambushes

Cons:

Poor penetration and accuracy with stock rounds - premium rounds required against heavies
Frontal armour profile is mostly flat and angling will expose your weak sides
Roof armour is only 19mm, making it vulnerable to arty or shots down from elevation
Somewhat low HP for a premium heavy
Weak side hull armour
