  • About a month ago, I made a video with this title and premise. Since it makes Gaijin more money when event vehicles are extremely powerful, every tank I talked about was an event tank. A lot of you guys wanted to know what the best tech tree tank in War Thunder was, so I decided to redo the video.

      Tiger 2, under tiered? in down tiers everything is your toy like all heavys but at its own BR if something with HEATFS looks at you you die, if something with HE looks at you you die, if someone has early sabo and looks at you you die, if someone can see your turret you most likely die, I believe it is fine where it is.
      Also what servers do you play on bc whenever I play Germany or USSR I watch the team either die once and quit or just spawn camp one spawn point so I would like to know

      Hello Spookston! Firstly I have to congratulate you on this awesome video. Secondly I want you to adress the constant fuel explosion on russian tanks, mainly 8.0(excluding T-10M) onwards. I have seen this happen too often. Maybe you could look into this problem in detail, and propose a solution to Gaijin. I hope you will take this suggestion into consideration and solve this annoying problem.

    The U-SH 405 is a great little car, can easily wipe half a team with a good flank. But it requires very good trigger discipline, the rockets run out very fast if you spam them. It also can't fulfill any roles other than a flanker since a single machine gun bullet is enough to kill it. In my opinion the best ground vehicle in the game is the BMP-2M since it can do everything very well. It can kill any kind of vehicle with it's missiles and the autocannon is great while also getting thermals at only 8.7. I bring the BMP-2M to any Russian lineup that is 8.7 or above and it always performs well. The PT-76-57 is also a contender for best vehicle in the game due to how undertiered it is but hopefully that'll change soon.

There's many really good tanks, they just have to be played a certain way and require general skill at the game.

      That can be done with many missile vehicles, but the IT-1 combines that with exceptional armour for an ATGM carrier, plus pretty fast turret traverse and the ability to fire on the move. It's one of the only ATGM carriers that can brawl, and definitely one of the best vehicles in the game.

      You then are just as unprofessional as spookston, the best vehicle is one that the developers havent made properly allowing people to abuse it? The best vehicles are the most versatile, the ones that carry you and can work every where, vehicles that perform better the better you are and can carry you if you slip up. The ush does none of that, any idiot can drive one and spam rockets at things they see, youre dead if you get seen, youre dead if youre in the open, youre dead if a plane sees you it doesnt even need bombs.

      I love the BKAN, but really it’s just not a good tank destroyer. It’s too slow, large, soft, and turns poorly. It’s only good if you can get and hold a position, but it’s too slow to do that. However, it is by far the most fun AA in the game. Watching planes literally disintegrate from 155 mm HE is a riot, I smile with every kill. It just takes a bit of practice to get good at AA with it

    Personal favourite: GMC M10.
    Pros:
    76mm cannon that can one-tap most of anything in its br and it even works on a full uptier.
    The armour is surprisingly good, especially once you unlock the extra armour tracks which significantly increases the chance to bounce shots. The turret mantel is also pretty tough.
    It has a .50 cal, so light vehicles, planes and tracks are easy to deal with.
    Has good weapon depression.
    Cons:
    It ain't the fastest.
    The turret is very slow.
    There is a good chance that artillery will kill you.
    Planes can also easily kill you.
    Overpressure is a guaranteed death sentence.
    Summary: A pretty decent tank destroyer that punches way above its BR.

    I think the M4A2 75mm Sherman should’ve at least gotten a mention on this list, it’s a jack of all trades, and you could argue the master of all of them to.
    It has amazing mobility and reaction time because of the turret traverse (20.4 degrees a second when fully crewed) and stabilizer.
    While the main round on this vehicle(M61 shot) may only have a max of 104mm of pen and go 618 meters a second, 8/10 it’s able to deal with most of your of the enemy tanks you come up against and with the decent explosive power of the M61 shot you’ll be able to constantly get one shots.
    The armor, while front on isn’t amazing, you can add extra track armor and angle to make you almost imperious to a lot of the guns you’d encounter at 4.0.
    In an uptier it’s also fairly reliable sense you face much of the same enemies you would’ve faced at BR 4.0.
    There aren’t many weak spots on this thing when angled other then the turret cheeks.
    This analysis of the vehicle is based off of my experience with the vehicle.

    I have 1644 games in the 75 jumbo. As long as what you're facing can't pen you, no matter how many there are, it is probably the best brawling tank in the game. 5 second reload makes it forgiving as well as the armor, if you know how to position it you can bounce panthers easily, and it has excellent mobility for a heavy. You can push entire spawns solo in it without being killed. I've won 7v1s before in it. Ability to take out the large cannon barrels of German tanks also helps it a lot. But, this is only if you know how to play it right and are fortunate to not face any of the many guns that slice through your front plate. And then theres the fact that panthers (which is probably the vehicle it faces most often) can pen its front plate at close range. It used to be 4.7, back then it was definitely the best tech tree vehicle. It probably belongs at 5.0, but for experienced players it really doesn't matter.

    The jumbo is really fun and probably my favorite tank in the game. Its just you literally cant play it on long range maps and it seems to exclusively get up tiered, fighting Tiger 2s and IS 2s that have no problem penetrating it anywhere, and that you can only penetrate at spitting distance. The jumbo used to be my goto relaxation tank, but getting a full uptier and a map like maginot line with the USA 5.3 lineup is a very fast way to get a migraine. Id honestly say the Tiger 2 is just more fun and powerful in general, combined with constantly getting down tiered and the H literally not having a frontal weakspot, along with the suspension being so good you basically have a stabilizer Yeah its just better tier for tier.
    If anything id say the french jumbo is better, simply for the fact it has a solid long range lineup backing it up so you dont just instantly loose when you dont get a city map.

      Surprisingly Jagdpanzer IV is even better because it is 4.3 and I bounce more shots than in heavy tanks. Its even more nimble than the Panzer IV/70. I currently sport it in my 4.3 Pakpuma X Jagdpanzer IV lineup and enemies are getting shrecked.

    The Panther D is, relative to its BR, the best tank in the 5.0-6.0 BR range. Due to the 76 jumbo and super Pershing being upBRed, it now has practically no counter whatsoever. It’s gun can with almost no exceptions, penetrate any vehicle it comes across at almost any angle. What it lacks in turret traverse it makes up for in neutral steering and its decent handling. When it is used as a long range tank, not pushed into close quarters combat like almost every single German player does, it is completely unstoppable by any other ground vehicles. It’s armor, penetration, and profile are almost perfectly suited to long ranges, and due to the volumetric mantlet, penetrating the turret face in excess of 400m is almost impossible. The sole reason the panther D is 5.3 is due to German teams.

    - 30mm frontal and side armour,
    - 50mm medium-velocity cannon,
    - Torsion bar suspension for smooth ride and sometimes even allowing to fire on the move, if driven slowly,
    - Powerful engine,
    - 5 crew members,
    - a BR of 1.3.
    Which means:
    - Armour can sometimes bounce quite a few shots (Especialyl French),
    - Can penetrate every tank it can ecounter frontally at good distances,
    - Fire on the move at low speed,
    - Average speed in practice about 50 km/h,
    - Great survivability,

    the late german heavies are under-BR'd when they're in a downtier and should've stuck at 6.3-6.7, but uptiered they're frankly outclassed. Difference between a KT and a Leo is night and day for .3. Managing a 5-1 k/d running the Leo stock atm, mobility is the meta of this game. Most maps encourage combat ranges under 500m, nice and close which I think is silly. I'm one of the few who likes all the desert maps and Maginot because it offers versatility on the map. Additionally there are too many single cap maps where the point is in the middle of a town, you have to be silly to take something as clumsy and lumbering as a KT into a match like that. That's why I often take the puma into 5.7-6.7 matches, very underrated as a support vehicle for scouting, repairing, capturing and harassing. Great counter to the allied light vehicles honestly

Even now at 6.0 it still has almost nothing to worry about when it comes to most enemies. Panthers, Tigers, Tiger 2s, IS-2s and so on are all doable, even at long range. The APDS allows you to engage quickly and confidently even at around 2km, and often you will hit the enemy way before they got their shot off. Mobility isn’t great but alright for it’s BR, survivability is decent, turret traverse is workable and the reload is awesome. I hope it will someday be discovered again by more people.
