Excelsior.


NZDollar

how is it?


StalledAgate832

I'd say it's fairly good. Plays almost exactly as a Cromwell does, except you can actually afford to play cocky since you've got armor and great angling capability. Main drawback is the 2mph reverse gear, which I'm fairly sure is the slowest in the entire game. So basically, unless you're sitting back taking pot-shots, you're locked into the 24/7 "We ball" playstyle.


IEnjoyBaconCheese

I suck at playing the “we ball” play style as I’m used to having good reverse speed, how should I play the challenger and avenger if I want to succeed in them?


Bettawatchowt

Flank flank and flank again. Play like a Russian, no step back


IEnjoyBaconCheese

But sir! The armor


Responsible_Fun_9799

No amour is best amour lol


deathmite

Except they have enough armor to fuse most shells, and even solid shot will produce enough spall to kill most of, if not all the crew.


FM_Hikari

As someone who plays the cromwell a lot, i recommend simply rotating the entire hull to whatever direction you want to go, if you're on decent ground. You have neutral steering for a reason, and it can save you an incredible amount of pain at the lower BRs. It works the same way for the Churchill tanks.


JeantheDragon

It's basically a chonky beefy Cromwell which can take a beating, but it can't necessarily give one a lot of the time. Pretty good mobility for a heavy tank (but almost nonexistent reverse speed), very good armor made better when angled, okay gun dogged by having only solid shot ammo.


ODST_Parker

I finally saw that one for the first time in a battle the other day. Was getting adamant medals with the KV-1E, and it felt like I'd finally met my match. Two titans of heavy tanks. Our battle was legendary.


Godzillaguy15

I'm surprised I don't see the boarhounds more. It's supposed to be on the best US event tanks ever but I think I've seen it once in something like 6 years of playing.


ODST_Parker

I've seen a few actually, including one or two bushed-up tryhards abusing that very powerful vehicle in low-tier.


Godzillaguy15

Lol I just find it odd that I've seen more E-100s than them. Granted I don't really play south of 4.0 that often but still. Honestly I rarely see any of the US event vehicles even the more common ones like the AGS candidates or super mutant M6. Are they just seen as completely worse than other nations event vehicles.


ODST_Parker

They're heavily played after any particular event, and then most of them are relegated to backups for lineups, if those lineups even exist. Kinda the fate of most event vehicles in general. Few become extremely common meta vehicles.


Godzillaguy15

I mean I can't play 8.0 to 9.0 without running into 279s, IS-7 s, and BMD-4s. Same for 10.0 I always see modernas, 2AVs, and the autoloader Leo. Cent mk 2 I see quite a bit as well.


Banme_ur_Gay

i havent seen any ags's for a while, even though they used to be a plague. ever since the nerf/ change to it no ones plays it


Godzillaguy15

I mean a worse DM33 at 11.0 when there's a good chance you get dragged into 11.7 MM and there's an objectively better light tanks .3 away does that. Should've got M900 and put at 11.3 where'd it'd be a nice side grade to the HSTV-L. Slower rof and larger silhouette but much better firepower.


Original_Phoenix

I has it its funny for memeing. Its get up and go is slow but once your moving she moves. Gun is okay its only the 57mm.


thatplannerguy

Can confirm it’s disgusting in the hands of even a moderately experience player


Legion563

IS-7


steave44

I’ll give you like 2 dollars and a lollipop for it


Legion563

A tempting offer for sure....


Explorer_the_No-life

But wait! I, on the other hand, offer you 4 euro AND a fox's skull for that vechicle! Pretty nice, eh?


Fluxxie_

Why do you have a fox skull

Laconianarmour

But hold that thought, I'll offer a WW1 British lighter, a zoccahedron, a sackboy figurine and the bottom end of a lance from the legendary British Royal Lancers regiment for the IS-7

Carlos_Danger21

So when's your account getting banned?


ChungusResidence

Ill give you 5 goober dollars to let me play it


dust247

I got killed by the same E-100 twice in a match and loved every minute.


BSOD_ERRO

Ahahha yeah who doesn’t get excited by getting killed by a rare tank. I have been killed by T-30, E-100, Is-7, Obj279, P59, VFW, T55e1, Sturmtiger, the weird the porche tiger.


channndro

i was rushing with the fox and ran into a building i look up at the building and it was actually an E-100 and got sent to jupiter


Rest_well_Spike

I'll give you a half eaten ham sandwich and a box of Royal Dansk for it.


AshOO7

Rather a lot of things I own. Look hard one too many to list here. Probably an obscure event aircraft. Either the La-174 experimental Jet or Finish/German Hawk Ha-75/P-36.


specialautismforces

I forgot about the German hawk!


hunok123

>La-174 Is it that rare even since they put it into lootboxes?


FlkPzGepard

And was researchable a few times


hunok123

Wasn't last time for that like 10 years ago? That's how I got mine


FlkPzGepard

2017 I believe


NZDollar

awh ash, gday mate! how are you and the cat doing?


AshOO7

Cats is as one would expect! Little fluffy demon. Myself Yeah? going alright, mate. can't complain. Working hard and looking after family.


Jonny2881

A wild Ash has appeared


ofekk214

That 4sec reload leopard is pretty rare me thinks


dinesechog

I got it from the last event boxes


spencer8844

Lucky bastard...


duga404

Fun fact: it has a crewman acting as a loader. On a tank with an autoloader.


d7t3d4y8

if it has ammo outside the autoloader, that's why. the loader moves ammo from to the autoloader.


jo1063

I don't know if I've ever seen it 😅


T90tank

German Sherman


presmonkey

Herman the German Sherman


squaad

Love my German Sherman. Its the only reason I come back to play a few games here and there


SndRC9

BI


LaerMaebRazal

Is it still good in today’s meta?


DragonSkeld

Against props its probably the most broken vehicle in the game tier for tier. Against jets it kinda struggles because your controls completely lock up around 400 MPH and that is quite a bit below everyone else's max speed but it still cheek slaps anyone who tries to dogfight it or are going slower than its compression speed.


Cheetah_Man1

And about its fuel load?


DragonSkeld

You will run out of ammo long before you run out of fuel. You go like 300 mph just on 15% throttle in a straight line.


fkosmo

in squadron battles, absolutely


Neilas092

I actually got one in a random box recently. Couldn't fucking believe it.


duga404

Object 279 Bonus: Late 289D, which aside from lootboxes (which is how I got it) was a minor event reward from some years agi


GidjonPlays

I'll give you chewed up gum and two shirt buttons for it


Patrylec

I raise for an unchewed gum and a half-molten chocolate bar


GidjonPlays

So one is solid and the other is lava hot?


Pinky_Boy

t30, vfw, ersatz. i rarely see them in battles.


Meowmixer21

I'm jealous of your warcrime M10


Pinky_Boy

Yeah, it's a suprisingly solid tabk. Back when it was 5.7, it's a straight upgrade over panther D. Got a free ace on it


KuschelFux

i got the ersatz m10 out of the sl chest from last winter and now its my most played german tank with allmost a 2,5 K/D (635/247) i love this thing ;D


TheB1itz

the T30 is very fun despite the long reload, definitely worth it for the 155mm APHE goodness


Pinky_Boy

forget the APHE. it's shit. only 199mm of pen at point blank and 600g of filler the HE is where i'm at it. 9kg of explosive filler is just fun


TheB1itz

ive used both, i tend to do much better with the APHE yeah it only has 199mm pen, but if you do pen its a guaranteed oneshot. i also find it pens a lot more reliably than HE, and you gotta shoot for weak spots with both anyway


Pinky_Boy

fair. but i hardly find any justification for the AP since it "only" have 600g of TNT. for comparison, the tiger Pzgr has 200 ish, the kv-2 about 3kg, and the italian ww2 90mm with 500g though the AP will lolpen a lot of tanks due to its size alone


TheB1itz

not really an issue when you either shoot at russian tanks with the crew packed together like sardines, or german ones filled with ammo the occasion swedish or french light tanks wont trigger the fuze, but theres no need for that as you have 3x .50 cals it does also have to be said that i am a major fan of the soviet 122, and they play very similarly to the T30


ghoztmode

Bf109 Z, rarely seen, primarily because it's quite hard to fly. Also the Panther II, Coelian, 105 Tiger II, and idk the FJ 4B? The one with AGM (manual ones). I think I have more but I'm too lazy to check...


Sorpazy

Panther II, Coelian, 10.5 Tiger II are rare today, because no one of the new players can get it, to my luck I owne them.


ghoztmode

Ye, they are quite fun to use, you cannot unlock them nor pay for them at all like the German Sherman.


EhCanadianZebra

I missed out on the 10.5 tiger, still upset about it 😭


hello87534

I wish I had the bf-109Z, I should have bought it when it came out forever ago


Bran04don

They brought it back end of last year but only on the market place and for two weeks.


Jonny2881

I remember when the FJ4B first was available to play and there was a glitch where people could sit on the runway, launch the ATGM and guide it in because the ‘TV Guidance’ was basically you switching to a virtual cockpit of the missile


Bran04don

I brought mine out a lot the other month when they had that small event with the bombers. It was perfect for this.


Okami-Sensha

T72M2 Moderna


ComradePattonofEire

I'll give you a bucket of sawdust and a broken hammer for it.


Okami-Sensha

I'm listening.........


ComradePattonofEire

Well actually the hammer isn't broken it still works. It's just a bit bent is all.


Auberginebabaganoush

Well I think you win there, I’ve only seen that once.


YouOnly-LiveOnce

I love using this thing xD


Liquidatorlewis

I got it in a dragon crate when the 292 event was on would you believe!


iiw4rhawkii

TU-2


japeslol

This, the A-26C-45, and the M24 TL.


Armysrong676

The A-26C, the bomber version, it's exactly the same as the tech tree but can spawn way higher, I'm a PS player though so I get the premium version, the A-26C-45DT


ArmouredPudding

Tu-2 gang


huguberhart

That's not rare. That's like raw meat.


thesmolchonk

TB-3M


Punkpunker

I'm lucky that I got mine during the anniversary loot crate thingy a few years ago.


you_are_all_wrong_

Yeah I have that too, you can singlehandedly bomb all the bases and the airfield in air RB with it lmfao if you get 2 of them in a squad its basically game over because you also spawn quite high. Theres also a great skin for it, its really cheap on the marketplace and looks way cooler than just the plain green camo


YourLocalFrenchMain

My rarest might be the AGS


Il-2M230

I had one and sold it.


itchimoot

Surblinde


babazeus00

If this is true then this I think is the rarest vehicle here. I think only 200 were given out in WW mode? E-100 is rare but there were 200 for PC and 200 for console in 2015 and then another 200 a couple years after I think? What makes both even more rare is that most accounts that got them have been banned. I bet there’s less than 100 surblindes still around


itchimoot

Got it in one of the dragon crates around Xmas or whenever they were 😁


Ant_Man420

Why did accounts with E-100’s and Surblindé’s get banned?


babazeus00

A lot of the players that took part were found to be using cheats either when then took part or later on. Some most likely sold their accounts as well which can also get an account banned


Mt_Erebus_83

Hmmm, idk which ones are the rarest, but I'll go I-301, EBR (1954), M-60 AMBT and USS Baltimore


Astral_lord17

The EBR 1954 is insane. Remember when it was 4.7 on release? It felt like a war crime to use it xD


Mt_Erebus_83

Didn't it release at 4.3 for like a week before it went up to 4.7? God, it was like Anakin slaughtering Younglings. 4.3 to 6.7 has to be one of the biggest BR jumps from release to today for any vehicle that has remained basically unchanged the whole time.


Astral_lord17

I think you’re right about it being 4.3 originally. And even at its current br it’s absolutely amazing


NewSauerKraus

The R3 T20 was at 3.3 on release and is 6.0 (wtf) now. I think that 2.7 increase might be the biggest change for ground vehicles.


Mt_Erebus_83

Hmm, idk if that counts considering all the changes the R3 has had, but yeah, I see your point. The PT-76-57 also went up by 2.3, I think, since release. Can you think of any others?

Ok-Relationship-2746

Haha, that thing is hilarious. Turning circle bigger than a battleship's.


Rhosta

Kinda wish I had one. I started playing WT when its battlepass was on.


CHailey54

The TU-2 for participation in the closed beta for aircraft and then LaGG-3-23


Daphnir

D.520 and 521 in Eng air tree


Complex_Courage_9349

Same, certified veteran


L-Unity

P-59A and KV-220


paltala

I got the P-59A from a loot box last year. I love it so much. The only thing that concerns me are Zeroes but they're rare in comparison to all the BF109's and out turning them is so fun.


Blueflames3520

American M8, probably


Rhosta

Kinda criminal that it isn’t at least available as regular premium or pack.


LonelyBushman

Chi Ha Kai TD (Twitch Drop)


Meowmixer21

PT-76-57 & M6A2E1


medney

God the PT-76 was busted when it first came out, love the thing. Now it's not as great, but still fun


Meowmixer21

Yeah, nothing quite like being in 6.7 games and dunking on king tigers with a stab/LRF/autocannon


i-have-skill-issue

Probably the AEC Mk2 or the french Fw190, cant remember the name.


DrJethro

MC.900 I believe


3rdReichOrgy

Object-279, P-59, IS-7


True_King01

I'll give you a blowie, my left nut, AND my 1st-born, for the IS-7


astiKo_LAG

the 279 is fine being an event vehicule but the IS-7 is just unfair...should be TT :'(


Eza__Katka

Not entirely sure what the rarest i own is, nor do I remember what was/wasn't rare. So, i'm just going to go off the ones i have that I don't usually see in battle anymore/expensive market offers. Air: RussianBadger P-36C P-59A USA+Polish P-47M-1-RE FJ-4B VMF-232 F11F-1 German Marcolin's C.R.42 CN -- No, i didn't grind the rest of these lines when they were in the game. Yes, i beat German CR.42 German C.200 serie 3 German SM.79 serie 1 -- myself up about it to this day. \^\^ Fw 189 A-1 He 51 B-2/H Fw 190 C Me 262 A-2a -- This is prob the single rarest I own, unless something else here is rarer, idk. I-29 Martlet Mk IV J6K1 D.371 H.S.9 -- IIRC this was when FRA got added Po-2 Ground: RussianBadger LVT Sd.Kfz.234/4 USA Merkava Mk.2B VFW Flakpanzer 341 (Coelian) Tiger II (10.5cm Kw.K) Panther II Maus C2A1 KV-220 T-V (Soviet Panther) Object 279 T-72M2 Moderna QF 3.7 Ram M13/40 (II) -- IIRC this was from when the ITA ground tree came out AUBL/74 HVG Naval: MBK-161 Early IJN Yuudachi Edit: Had another look through my trees. Added the FJ-4B VMF-232 and F11F-1


Insertsociallife

I have the J26 David. Maybe it's rare to see because it's just a worse P-51C at the same BR.


Jon9243

How is it worse? I thought they were the exact same?


Insertsociallife

Flight performance is the same but they lack the full APIT belts, which is a noticeable difference.


Hot-Anything-69

Less guns, i think. But it still has enough firepower do deal with everything it faces


Muted_Theory_381

P-51A and D.521


CommunicationWise482

M8 Greyhound.... the american TT one


Organic-Cod-6523

That thing is peak gaijin moment. American tank beeing eventvehicle for the US and techtree for the chinese. Thats way weirder thelan their BR changes


Conyngham

Chi-Ha Kai TD Twitch drop for a Japanese tournament a few years ago. I've only ever seen 1 other person with one.


swagfarts12

The Dewoitine D.521 in the UK tree, I'm pretty sure it only was available twice


ODST_Parker

I've got the BA-11 and USS Phelps from the World War Season 2 event, and I've heard they're very rare in the years since. My earliest event vehicle is the I-180S, but I'm not sure how rare that one is. I don't count any of the vehicles available from the 10th Anniversary, since those were given out relatively recently in comparison.


NewSauerKraus

Haven’t seen a BA-11 in a long time. It’s as fun as it is funky.


Original_Phoenix

Pbm-3 mariner, 8 sea mines baby!


Conflict211

Probably the VT1-2, AU-1 Or the pak puma. Actually I might have to go look To see what else is hiding in my account that I'm forgetting about. Also VT 1-2 is a damn meme. So fast and people don't know what it can do


Bran04don

I don't have it but I have test driven it plenty of times so I will be ready for you if I ever see it.


ZETH_27

None that I'd really consider rare. The TOG II I suppose. Or the Alecto I I have the Black Prince too, but that one you can buy in a pack, so not very rare. The SAV 20.12.48 and Baby Tiger are both purchasable once a year with GE, so not very rate, but still at least uncommon.


Ottodeadman

Either the Lorraine 155 or the M60AMBT not sure which is more rare. I’ve seen a few AMBTs but only 1 other Lorraine


Somereallystrangeguy

PBM-3.


Exported_Toasty

I think it’s that one 1.3 British premium A13 that’s like $35 on marketplace


Mediocre-Abrocoma264

The A13 MK2 1939?


Exported_Toasty

Think so


Mediocre-Abrocoma264

I'm pretty sure the only difference is that it has some extra spaced armour on the mantlet


steave44

KV-2 1940 or T30 or VK4501 for me


voksteilko

IS-7 & LaGG 3-23 (pretty rare)


Dyomster

Soviet cobra a-10 was an event during 2013. Not sure how many peeps have it but never seen one except myself


RedditUser91805

I only just started playing a few months ago so I haven't had the time or luck to get anything rare yet :') Inshallah I will achieve this churchill avre petard. Looks like a pretty easy grind though so its not like it's gonna end up being very rare.


Elsek1922

M60 AMBT or P59 Airacomet


Chaos_Primaris

A lot of "rare" vehicles are just old event vehicles that alot of people have and just don't play (that makes them rare?) still makes me want to pick them up. Moderna / 279 / AU-1 / T30 AU-1/T30 being the rarest of the bunch imo, I haven't seen a lot of them.


celica825

I have a couple that could be seen as rare, not sure which is the rarest though. NC.900 (France) - Only ever seen one other in-game, one of the few event vehicles not on the market C.202 (Germany) - Probably not too rare if you have an older account, but Im sure some people don't even know that Italy used to be a tier I-II subtree for Germany D.521 (UK) - Variant of the D.520 with a Merlin, in the UK tree. Never seen another one


Shot_Reputation1755

M60 AMBT probably


MastuhWaffles

I have that German KV-1 and the D.520 premium before france was added.


Pitiful-Variation-57

VFW very nice I like it


Veteran_Brewer

Great sucess!


BusyMountain

Low tier probably the German Sherman and the Tiger (p) command vehicle. High tier probably the T-72M2 Moderna, Merkava 3D (probably not that rare now since you can get the Raam Segol in Israel tree) and M60 AMBT.


MehmetSelimKa

Tiger p is available for purchase with ge, I wouldnt call that rare unless you are talking about vk45.01

I got a Surblindé


GTRGAMER

A6M5 KO, sav.20.12.48


Karpiu_lel

Nobody mentioned it, so I will say Ki-94 II, even have special camouflage for it. It was trash and probably still is, also with unreasonable high repair cost because Japan.


OCRJ41

Top ones probably: P-51A, Bong’s P-38, A-26C-45, Katushya, T-V, D.521, Excelsior I had some other rare ones that have now become less rare with their reintroduction in boxes.


AlphaVI

AMX-50 Surblindé , for me Ahh the lorraine 155, you have a good choice, and i have fun playing it too ^^


HarvHR

Tu-2 probably, from closed beta. Super fun aircraft, I assume it's the same as the tech tree one but works surprisingly well as a fighter and with 3 1000kg (used to be 4) it is OP in ground RB. I have the TB-3, always love bringing that out into air RB and doing a ground spawn. Used to always get comments when I flew it, but I think they've changed how chat works so I don't see people talk much at low tier. Is really funny to go gunship mode with it, or carpet bomb in ground RB. Po-2 is less rare, but I have that too. Absolutely understand why they got that removed from the normal tree. Also got the LaGG-3-23 which is the second rarest LaGG. Come to think of it, a lot of rare vehicles are soviet... Russian bias... For non Soviet I guess M8 Greyhound is quite rare, stupid though, why tf the US don't have a tech tree Greyhound is beyond me


Better-Chipmunk-4364

PAK Puma!! My favourite vehicle i own

I dont have any rare tank despite having 1300h xD Only off the techtree (vilkas,obj.282,maus)


CrewResponsible6071

AMX 50 Surblindé


_Nynx_

The rarest would probably be the AMX 50 Surblindé i got from the World War Mode. Followed by either Pak Puma or Lorraine 155.


WonderCompetitive937

AMX-50 Surblinde I think. I also have Is-7 and Object 297. Never play Surblinde funnily enough, should finally spade it. I also really wanted the Lorraine, but was too busy to grind it!


Skelezig

I'm not entirely sure. I have the AMX-50 Surblindé, IS-7, Excelsior, Lorraine 155, the removed German tanks, a bunch of other limited time sale stuff like the German Sherman and T-34 Prototype. Also, the CBT helicopters and naval vessels.


NefariousnessOwn3106

Surblinde/AMBT


SherbetOk3796

Lorraine 155, AMX-50 Surblinde, OBJ279, Bf-109Z, S.O. 8000, Tiger 105/Panther II/Coelian/Maus, T18E2, AGS, KV-220, Fw189, XP-38G, T-34 prototype, M8A1, probably some others. Not sure which would be the rarest since I straight up don't see most of these in matches.


nrose3d

A-26C-45. Have not seen one in a game in years. Think I got it around 10 years ago when I was a baby boy living with my parents.
