Tier VIII Light Tanks
Our Picks:
-
VIII
Bat.-Châtillon 12 t
- Good passive scout with decent DPM and brisk clip reload time; a fitting alternative for the LT-432.
-
VIII
leKpz M 41 90 mm
- Use with Inspire, Artillery, and Smoke for support in either an attack of defend mode.
-
VIII
LT-432
- A go-to favorite for active/passive scouting.
-
VIII
M41D
- Its DPM helps punish enemies from the flank and it inflicts good damage on enemy turrets.
-
VIII
WZ-132
- Frontline's all about spotting and dealing damage, and this tank excels in both areas.
Tier VIII Medium Tanks
Our Picks:
-
VIII
Centurion Mk. 5/1 RAAC
- Works nicely in attack and defense.
-
VIII
M26 Pershing
- Can hold a ridge with its gun depression and score good spotting damage.
-
VIII
Panzer 58 Mutz
- All-around solid medium tank...plus, it has a bear on both sides.
-
VIII
Primo Victoria
- An excellent vehicle for defense.
-
VIII
Progetto M35 mod. 46
- A true beast — its autoreloader mechanic gives it a huge advantage.
-
VIII
T-44-100
- Side-skirt armor is excellent for angling incoming fire — especially anti-tank rounds delivered by enemy tank destroyers.
Tier VIII Heavy Tanks
Our Picks:
-
VIII
50TP prototyp
- Primarily used for attack with maxed-out Engineering Skill to do fast captures with other heavy tanks.
-
VIII
Caernarvon
- Has the highest DPM of all all Tier VIII heavy tanks; use the Caernarvon Action X for Premium Shell Penetration.
-
VIII
Emil I
- Its APCR base rounds makes long-range shots easier — thanks to the faster shell velocity; the gun depression is fantastic around hills.
-
VIII
IS-3
- The most balanced vehicle in its class — an amazing gun, decent armor, reliable speed — it's a jack-of-all-trades.
-
VIII
Löwe
- Hull-down monster with decent rate of fire and great penetration.
-
VIII
M6A2E1
- Amazing armor and hight turret, the "mutant" works best in a pack, where other heavies can cover its lower plate.
-
VIII
T26E5
- Has the durability, mobility, and DPM to contribute everywhere on the map.
Tier VIII Tank Destroyers
Our Picks:
-
VIII
ISU-152
- Is terrifying when loaded with APCR.
-
VIII
Kanonenjagdpanzer 105
- Sneaky and ideal for delivering death from the shadows; its sister Kanonenjagdpanzer (sans 105) is surprisingly effective, too.
-
VIII
Rheinmetall Skorpion
- Great mobility, gun, aim time, alpha — the standard Rheinmetall Skorpion attributes.
-
VIII
Strv S1
- Great mobility, camo, small profile, and excellent DPM.
-
VIII
UDES 03
- Can take advantage of the larger map with its impressive mobility to pump out big damage and escape unspotted.
Tier VIII SPGs
Our Picks:
-
VIII
Lorraine 155 mle. 51
- Has fast aiming and reload, along with good dispersion; better for the attacking side as it can deal hefty damage against camping TDs.
-
VIII
M40/M43
- Has the speed to keep up with the constantly changing front — plus the gun is fantastic.
